Deluxe automatic climate control
App lies to vehicles: with deluxe automat ic climate cont ro l
Description
The climate control system can be used to set a comfort­
able temperature inside the vehicle.
The climate control system is a combination of a heating and venti ­
lation system as we ll a cooling system responsible for dehumid i­
fying and cooling the air inside the vehicle.
The au tomatic c limate control system aut omatically mainta ins a
temperature once it has been set. The temperature of the air from
the vents, fan speed (air volume) and ai r distribution are also auto ­
matical ly adjusted . The system also takes into account strong
sun light so that manual adjustment is not necessary. So in almost
a ll cases,
automati c mode offers the best conditions fo r the com fort
of the occupants at all times of the year =>
page 92.
Please n ote the following :
The cooling mode lowers the humidity level inside the vehicle. This
prevents fogging up of the windows.
In the case of high outside humidi ty a nd temperatures,
condensa ­
tio n
can drip from the air conditioning system evaporator and form
a po ol under the vehicle . This is normal and not an indica tion of
leaks!
At low outside temperatures, the fan automatica lly switches to a
higher speed when the coolant reaches a sufficient temperature
except in the defroster position .
When star ting with ful l throttle, the compressor of the au toma tic
climate control system is temporari ly switched off to achieve full
engine power. To ensure engine cooling when the engine is under an extreme
load,
the compressor is switched off at high coo lant temperatures.
Pollutant filter
The pollutant filter (pa rticle fi lter) ensu res that impurit ies in the
outside air (e .g . dust, pollen) and odors are significant ly reduced or
stopped. The air is also fi ltered in recirculation mode .
The pol lutant fi lter e leme nt m ust be changed at the i nterva ls spec i­
fied in the service plan so that the performance of the automatic
cli mate con trol syste m is not impaired.
If the effectiveness of the filter decreases prematurely due to oper ­
ation of the vehicle in areas with significant pollution, the f ilter
e lement must be changed between the speci fied s ervice dates.
K ey recognition
The current automatic climate contro l settings are automatica lly
stored and assigned to the mas ter key .
Energy managem ent
To p revent t he ba ttery from being discharged and t o res to re the
balance of energy, components which require large amounts of
ene rgy are temporarily cut back or switched off=>
page 241.
Heating systems in particu lar require a great deal of energy. If you
notice, for examp le, that the rear window heater is not heating, then
it has been temporarily reduced or switched o ff by
energy manage ­
ment .
These systems are available again as soon as the energy
balance has been restored .
& WARNING
Traffic safety require s all windo ws to be clear of ice , sn ow, and
condensation . Only then c an good visibility be ensured . Famil-
ia rize yourself with the co rre ct operation of the automatic climate

& WARNING !continued)
control system as well as the proper procedure for defog­
ging/defrosting the windows.
0 Note
• If you suspect that the automatic climate control system has
been damaged, switch the system off to avoid further damage and
have it inspected by a qualified dealership.
• Repairs to the Audi automatic climate control system require
specialized knowledge and special tools. Therefore, contact an
authorized dealer in the event of malfunctions.
[ i) Tips
• To avoid adversely affecting heating and cooling performance
and to prevent condensation on the windows, the air intake in front
of the windshield must be free of ice, snow and leaves .
• The air flowing out of the vents and throughout the vehicle's
entire interior is discharged at the rear of the vehicle. Make sure that
the outlet slots are not covered by clothing, etc.
• Th e automatic climate control system works most effectively if
the windows and the panorama/tilting sunroof* are closed.
However, if the interior of a parked vehicle is extremely hot from the
sun, briefly opening the windows can speed up the cooling
process. •

Turning on automatic mode
Set the temperature between 60°F (+ 16°C) and 84°F
(+28°C).
- Press the [AUTO] button.
Automatic mode ensures constant temperatures in the interior and
dehumidifies the air inside the vehicle. Air temperature, volume and
distribution are controlled automatically to reach or maintain the
desired interior temperature as quickly as possible. Fluctuations in
exterior temperature and the effects of temperature from the posi­
tion of the sun are compensated for automatically .
This operating mode works only in an adjustable temperature range of 60°F (+ 16°C) to 84°F (+28°Cl . If a temperature below 60°F (+ 16°C)
is selected, LO appears in the display. At temperatures above 84°F
( +28 °C),
HI is displayed. At both extreme settings, climate control
runs continuously at maximum cooling or heating power . There is
no temperature regulation. •

You can adjust the air distribution so that air flows from specific
vents. In position
;J air flows only to the windows, in position :,J, it
flows to the driver or passenger, and in position

footwell. There are additional combinations available to adjust air
dist ribution as needed .
To regu late air distribution automatically, switch to

Please note the following :
Turn on the air conditioner to reduce hum idity in the veh ic le. This
a lso prevents the windows from fogging up.
When the outside temperature is high and the air is very humid,
c onden sation from the evaporator may drip under the vehicle . T his
is normal and does no t indicate a leak.
If the outside temperature is low, the fan norma lly on ly switches to
a higher speed once the engine coo lant has warmed up sufficiently .
The air conditioner temporarily switches off when you drive off from a standstill using fu ll throttle to save engine power .
The compressor also switches off if the coolant temperature is too high, so that the engine can be adequately cooled under extreme
loads.
Du st and poll en filte r
The dust and pollen filter (a combined particle filter and activated
cha rcoal fi lter) reduces or prevents outside air pol lut ion (dust, or
pollen) from entering the vehic le .
The dust and pollen filter must be changed at the intervals specified
in your Maintenance booklet, so that the air conditioner can prop­
erly work .
I f you drive your vehicle in an area with a high degree of a ir pollu­
tion, the filter may need to be changed more frequent ly than speci-
