Warm and cold
Climate control system
Description
Depending on the vehicle equ ipment, different
systems cou ld be installed:
- manual climate control system* or
- automatic climate control system*
The climate control system warms, coo ls and
adds humidity to the air in the vehicle interior. It
is the most effective when the windows and pan­
orama roof are closed. If there is a build-up of
heat inside the vehicle, vent ilation can help to
speed up the cooling process.
Condensat ion from the cooling system can drip
and form a puddle of water under the vehicle.
This is normal and does not mean there is a leak.
Pollutant filt er
The po llutant filter removes pollutants such as
dust and po llen from the a ir .
The air pollutants filter must be changed at the intervals specified in your Warranty & Mainte­
nance booklet, so that the air conditioner can
proper ly work.
I f you drive yo ur vehicle in an area wi th high air
pollut ion, the filter may need to be changed
more frequently than specified in your Audi War ­
ranty & Maintenance booklet. If in doubt, ask
your author iz ed Audi Service Advisor for advice.
K ey rec ognition *
The deluxe automati c climate control* settings
are stored and assigned to the remote contro l
key that is in use .
A WARNING
