Warm and cold
Climate control system
Description
Depending on the vehicle equipment, different
systems could be installed:
- manual climate control system* or
- automatic climate control system"
The climate control system warms, cools and re­ moves humidity from the air in the vehicle interi­
or.
It is the most effective when the windows and
panorama glass roof" are closed. If there is a
build-up of heat inside the vehicle, ventilation
can help to speed up the cooling process .
Pollutant filter
The pollutant filter removes pollutants such as
dust and pollen from the air.
Key recognition*
The automatic climate control* settings are stor­
ed and assigned to the remote control key that is
in use.
A WARNING
Reduced visibi lity is dangerous and can cause
accidents.
- For safe driving it is very important that all
windows be free of ice, snow and condensa­
tion.
- Completely familiarize yourself with the
proper use and function of the heating and
ventilation system and especially how to de­
fog and defrost the windows.
- Never use the windshield wiper/washer sys­
tem in freezing weather until you have
Warm and cold
warmed the windshield first, using the heat­
ing and ventilation system. The washer solu­
tion may freeze on the windshield and re­
duce visibility .
(D Note
-If you suspect that the air conditioner has
been damaged, switch the system off to
avoid further damage and have it inspected
by a qualified dealership .
- Repairs to the Audi air conditioner require
special technical knowledge and special
tools. Contact an authorized Audi dealer for
assistance .
® For the sake of the environment
By reducing the amount of fuel you use, you
also reduce the amount of pollutants emitted
int o the air.
(D Tips
-To prevent interference with the heating
and cooling output and to prevent the win­
dows from fogging over, the air intake in
front of the windshie ld must be free of ice,
snow or leaves.
- Condensation from the cooling system* can
dr ip and fo rm a pudd le of water under the
vehicle . T his is normal and does not mean
there is a leak.
- The energy management system may tem­
porarily switch off certain functions, such as
the seat heating* or rear window defogger .
These systems are avai lable again as soon
as the energy supply has been restored .
