Climate controls
Description
A pplies to vehicles: with three-zone cl imate cont ro l or
four-zone a uto mat ic climate contro l
The climate control system warms, cools and
adds humidity to the air in the vehicle interior. It is the most effective when the windows and
sunroof* are closed .
If the temperature inside
the parked veh icle becomes very warm, open
ing the w indow br iefly will speed up the cool
ing process.
In all heating mode functions except
defrost,
the blower on ly switches to a highe r speed
once the engine coolant has reached a certain
temperature.
Condensat ion from the cooling system can
d rip and form a puddle of wate r under the ve
h icle. This is normal and does not mean there
is a leak .
Pollutant filt er
The pollutant filter removes pollutants such
as dust and po llen from the air.
The air pollutants filter must be changed at
the intervals spec ified in your Warranty
&
Maintenance booklet, so that the air condi
tioner can properly work .
If you drive your vehicle in an area with high
a ir pollution, the filter may need to be
changed more freq uently than specified in
your Aud i Warranty & Ma intenance booklet. If
i n doubt, as k your author ized Audi Se rvice Ad
visor for adv ice.
K ey coded setting s
Three-zone climate control: The blower set
ting and air distribution are stored automati
cally and assigned to the remote control key
that is in use.
Four-zone automatic climate control: The cli
mate control settings are automatica lly stor
ed and assigned to the remote control key
that is in use.
A WARNING
Reduced visibility is dangerous and can
cause accidents.
-
- For safe driving it is very important that
all windows be free of ice, snow and con
densat ion .
- Comp lete ly fami liarize yourse lf with the
proper use and funct ion of the heat ing
and ventilation system and especially
how to defog and defrost the w indows.
- Never use the windshield wiper/washer system in freez ing weather unt il you
have wa rmed the windshie ld first, using
the heating and ventilation system. The
washer sol ution may freeze on the w ind
shie ld and red uce visib ility.
(D Note
- If you suspect that the air conditioner
has been damaged, switch the system
off to avoid further d amage and have i t
inspected by a q uali fied dealership .
- Repairs to the Audi air conditioner re
quire speci al technical know ledge and
special tools. Contact an authorized Audi
dea ler fo r ass istance.
@ For the sake of the environment
By reducing the amount of f uel you use,
you also red uce the amount of pollutants
emitted into the air.
(D Tips
- Keep the air intake s lo ts (in front o f the
windshield) free from ice, snow and de
bris in order to maintain the proper func
tion of the climate control system.
- The energy management system may
switch the seat heating* or rear window
defroster off temporar ily. These systems
are available again as soon as the energy
balance has been restored .
-Air escapes through vents under the rear
w indow. When plac ing items of cloth ing
