Warm and cold Climate control
Description
The air conditioner is fully automatic and is
designed to maintain a comfortable and uni­
form climate inside the vehicle .
We recommend the following settings:
~ Set the temperature to 72 °F (+22 °C).
~ Press the !AUTO I button.
With this setting, you attain maximum com­
fort in the least amount of time. Change this
setting, as desired, to meet your personal
needs.
The climate controls are a combination of
heating, ventilation and cooling systems,
which automatica lly reduce humidity and cool
the air inside your vehicle.
The air temperature, air flow and air distribu­
tion are automatica lly regu lated to achieve
and maintain the desired passenger compart­
ment temperature as quickly as possible.
The system automatically compensates for
changes in outside temperature and for the
intensity of the sunlight entering the ve hicle.
We recommend you use the
Automatic mode
¢ page 94 for year-round comfort.
Please note the following:
Turn on the air conditioner to reduce humidity
in the vehicle. This also prevents the windows
from fogging up .
When the outside temperature is high and the
air is very hum id,
condensation from the
evaporator may drip under the vehicle. This is
normal and does not indicate a leak.
If the outside temperature is low, the fan nor­
mally only switches to a h igher speed once
the engine coolant has warmed up sufficient­
l y.
The a ir conditioner temporarily switches off
when you drive off from a standstill using full
throttle to save engine power.
Warm and cold 91
The compressor also switches off if the cool­
ant temperature is too high , so that the en­
gine can be adequately cooled under extreme
loads .
Air pollutants filter
The air pollutants filter (a combined particle
filter and activated charcoa l filter) reduces or
prevents outside air pollution (dust, or pollen)
from entering the vehicle. The air is a lso fil­
tered in a ir recirculation mode.
The air pollutants filter must be changed at
the interva ls specified in your Warranty
&
Maintenance booklet, so that the a ir cond i­
tioner can properly work.
If you drive your vehicle in an area with high
air pollution, the filter may need to be
changed more frequently than specified in
your Audi Warranty
& Maintenance booklet. If
in doubt, ask your authorized Audi Serv ice Ad­
visor for advice .
Key coded settings
The air conditioner settings selected are auto­
matically stored and assigned to the key be ing
used. When the vehicle is started, the air con­
ditioner automa tically selects the settings as­
s igned to that key . This way every driver w ill
mainta in his/her own personal settings and
does not have to reset them manually.
If a different dr iver uses your key and changes
the air cond itioner settings, the latest adjust­
ments will erase and replace the sett ings you
have stored.
Energy management
To prevent the battery from being discharged
and to restore the balance of energy, compo­
nents which require large amounts of energy
are temporarily cut back or switched off
¢ page 231. Heat ing systems in particular re­
quire a great deal of ene rgy. If you notice , fo r
example, that the seat* or rear window hea t­
ing is not heating, they have been temporarily
cut back or switched off by
energy manage­
ment .
These systems are availab le aga in as
soon as the energy balance has been restored . .,.

92 Warm and cold
A WARNING
Reduced visibility is dangerous and can
cause acci dents.
-
- For safe dr iv ing it is very important that
all windows be free of ice, snow and con­
densation.
- Completely fami liarize yourself with the
proper use and function of the heating
and ventilation system and especia lly
how to defog and defrost the windows.
- Never use the windshie ld wiper/washer
system in freezing weather until you
have warmed the windshield first, us ing
the heat ing and ventilat ion system. The
washe r solution may freeze on the wind­
shield and reduce visibility.
(D Note
- If you suspect that the climate control
system has been damaged, switch the
system off to avo id further damages,
and have it inspected by a q ualified deal­
ership.
Controls -
Repairs to the Audi air conditioner re­
quire special technical know ledge and
special tools . Contact an authorized Aud i
dealer for ass istance.
@ Tips
- Keep the air intake s lots (in front of the
w indshield) free from ice, snow and de ­
br is in order to maintain the proper func­
tion of the climate control system.
-Air inside the vehicle escapes through air vents located in t he side trim panels be­
neath the rear side windows. Make sure
that the outlet slots are not cove red by
clothing, etc.
- Climate control works most effectively if
the windows and the Panoram ic sliding
sunroof* are closed. However, if the inte­
r ior of a par ked vehicle is ext reme ly hot
from the s un's rays, briefly opening the
w indows can speed up the cooling p roc­
ess .
This overview will help you to familiarize yourself with the air conditioning controls .

A rea r w indow defogger that was switched on
also remains stored for 15 m inu tes after the

off . If the engine is re­
started within these 15 min utes, the rear win­
dow defogger is a lso activated, depending on
outside temperature. With a vehicle that is
parked for a short time, the rear window de­
fogger does not need to be manually activat­ ed again.

Turn the defogger off when the rear win­
dow is clear. When you save electric ity, you
save fuel.

the outlets in the center conso le and in the
door pillars. To achieve adequate cooling,
you should never close the outlets com­

Using climate control economically
Using the climate controls prudently can help
save fuel.
When you use the air conditioner, engine pow­

.,. In add ition, if you open the window or the
Panoramic sliding sunroof* while driving,
turn off cooling mode by p ress ing the
IACI
button (indicator light goes out).
.,. If the vehicle is extremely hot due to the
heat of the sun, briefly open doors and win­
dows.
@ For the sake of the environment
By reducing the amount of fue l you use,
you also reduce the amount of poll utants
emitted into the air. W
