Air
circulation
Air circulation helps to reduce window fog­
ging. Stale air escapes to the outside
through slots in the trim panel on the left
and right side of the luggage compartment.
Be sure to keep these slots free and open.
Fastening eyes
There are four fastening "eyes" in the lug­
gage compartment (arrows). Use these
eyes to secure objects. CONT
ROLS AND EQUIPMEN T
Elastic cargo net
The cargo net prevents light objects from
sliding around.

Daytime running lights
148 This
switch also operates the front and rear
fog lights: it can pulled out when the side
lights or headlights are switched on.
To conserve battery power, the headlights
will go out automatically when the ignition
is turned off or while the starter is engaged.
High beam, low beam and headlight flasher,
see page 156.
Automatic headlight adjustment
After you start the engine, as well as while
the vehicle is moving, the headlights auto­
matically adjust themselves to the load and
angle of the vehicle (for example, during ac­
celeration or braking). This prevents unnec­
essary glare for on-com ing traffic.
If the system is not operating properly, the
warning symbol in the Auto Check Control
- see page 144- will come on. Daytime
running lights
(Canada models only)
When the ignition is switched on, the fog
lights, side marker lights and taillights will
automatically come on.
�W ARNING
Accidents can happen when you
cannot see the road ahead and
when you cannot be seen by other
motorists.
- Never use daytime running
lights to see where you're go­
ing. They are not bright enough
and won't let you see for enough
ahead for safety, especially at
dusk or when it's dark.
- Always turn on the headlights
so that you can see ahead and so
that others can see your car
from the back.

tions of very poor visibil ity. Please observe
local regulations when using the rear fog

---------------------CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENT
Operating controls
The functions are switched on and off by
pressing the buttons briefly. The indicator in
the button comes on when the function is
operating.
AUTO -Automatic
(standard setting)
The air temperature, air flow and air distribu­
tion are regulated automatically to achieve
and maintain the desired passenger
compartment temperature as quickly as
possible. The system compensates for
changes in outside temperature and for the
intensi ty of the sunlight entering the vehicle
automatically.
- + Temperature setting
The desired interior temperature can be pre­
set within a range from 64°F (18°C) to 84°F
(29°C). In the two extreme settings "LO"
and "HI" the system operates continuously
with maximum cooling or heating output, so
the temperature is no longer regulated auto­
matically. Swit
ching between Fahrenheit and
Centigrade
The temperature display can be
switched from oF to oc (and vice
versa) as follows:
Press Gill button and hold down. At the
same time press temperature selector but­
ton "+" on driver side briefly. @
-Defrost
In this mode, the windshield and side win­
dows will be defrosted I defogged as quick­
ly as possible.
The temperature is controlled automatical­
ly. Air flow will be on the maximum setting
and will mainly flow from outlets 1 and 2.
See "Air outlets" on pag e165.

Waxing
Please refer to the important information on
page 212.
• A good wax coati ng protects the vehicle
paint to a large extent against the environ­
mental influences listed under "Washing"
and even agains t light scratches.
• When water doesn't form small drops
and roll off clean paint, apply a coat of good
hard wax. Even if a wax solution is used reg­
ularly for washing your vehicle, it is advis­
able to protect the paint with a coat of hard
wax at least twice a year.
• To protect bright metal trim, use car wax.
• Protect plastic body parts painted the
same as the vehicle body with car wax.
• Do not use car wax on ...
- matte or anodized metal trim
rubber or rubber-l ike trim. Tr
im strips
Dirty patches and marks on the trim strips
should be removed with a pH-balanced
cleaning agent (do not use a chrome
cleaner). Audi Dealers carry cleaning prod­
ucts which have been tested for use on your
vehicle and are not harmful to the environ­
ment.
To avoid corrosion on the exterior trim
str ips, only a pH-balanced solution should
be used for the windshield washer.
To uch-up paint
Yo ur Audi Dealer has touch-up paint for mi­
nor scratches and stone chips. Scratches
should be touched up soon after they occur
to prevent corrosion.
If a spot starts to rust, however, a simple
touch-up job won't be enough. The affected
surface must be smoothed with sand paper
and covered with an anti-rust primer before
the painted finish can be restored.
The n umber for the original vehicle paint can
be found on the vehicle identification label
- see page 291 . VE
HICLE CARE
Windows Clean all windows regularly to remove road
film and car- wash wax buildup. Use a luke­
warm soap and water sol uti on or an alcohol­
based commercial window cleaning agent.
If a chamois is used for polishing the glass,
it should be used exclusively for that pur­
pose.
Also, be sure to clean all windows regularly
on the inside.
Use a plastic scraper to remove snow and
ice from windows and mirrors. To help pre­
vent dirt from scratching the windo w, al­
ways scrape in a forward direction -push­
ing the scraper away from you-never back
and forth.
Note
To prevent damage the wires of the rear
defogger, do not place any adhesive stick­
ers in the inside of the rear window over the
wires.
215

-------------------------VEHICL E CA RE
Do not disconnect the vehicle bat­
tery when the ignition is switched
on or when the engine is running.
Otherwise, you will damage elec­
tronic components in the electrical
system.
When working on the engine, pro­
tect the battery housing from ultra
violet (UV) rays by not parking the
vehicle in direct sunlight. Winter
operation
During the winter months, battery capacity
tends to decrease as temperatures drop.
More power is also consumed while start­
ing, and the headli ghts, rear window defog­
ger, etc., are used more often.
Av oid unne cessary power consumption,
particularly in city traffic or when trave:ling
only short distances. Let your authonzed
Audi Dealer check the capacity of the ve­
hicle battery before winter sets in. A well
charged battery will not only prevent start­
ing problems but will also last longer.
If your vehicle is left standing for
several weeks at extremely low tem­
peratures, the vehicle battery
should be removed and stored
where it will not freeze. This will
prevent it from being damaged. Location
of vehicle battery
g Always heed all WAR NINGS
� on page 232.
The vehicle battery is located under a cover
in the plenum chamber at the back of the
engine compartment. To remove the cover,
press the straps (arrows ), swing up and re­
move.
