By pressing the button once, the heating is switched to the highest intensity -level 3, which is indicated by all three of the indicator lights in the switch lightingup.
With repeated pressing of the switch, the heating is turned down until it goes off. The seat heating level is indicated by the number of illuminated warning lights inthe respective control.WARNINGIf you have a subdued pain and/or temperature sensitivity, e.g. through medi-
cation, paralysis or because of chronic illness (e.g. diabetes), we recommend
not to use the seat heating. This can lead to burns on the back, the posterior
and the legs which are difficult to heal. If the seat heating is used, we recom-
mend to make regular breaks in your journey when driving long distances, so
that the body can recuperate from the stress of the journey. Please consult
your doctor, who can evaluate your specific condition.
CAUTION
■ Do not kneel on the seats or otherwise apply concentrated pressure to them.■Do not turn on the seat heater if seats are not occupied.■
Do not switch on the seat heating if the seats have objects attached to or
placed on them, for example a child seat, a bag, etc. A fault of the heating ele-
ments in the seat heating can occur.
■
If additional seat covers or protective covers are attached to the seats, do not
turn on the seat heater - there is a risk of damaging the seat covers and seat
heating.
■
Do not clean the seats using moisture » page 203, Seat covers .
Note
■
If the on-board voltage drops, the seat heating is switched off automatically, in
order to provide sufficient electrical energy for the engine control » page 218.■
If the heaters for the rear seats are set to the highest intensity - level 3, they
are automatically switched over to level 2 after 10 minutes (two indicator lights
are illuminated on the switch).
Ventilated front seatsFig. 55
Rocker switch for the seat venti-
lation
First read and observe the introductory information given on page 70.
Heat and condensation can be removed from the seat cushions and seat backr- ests on the front seats.
The ventilation is operated using the rocker switch » Fig. 55 in the front part of
the seat cushion, in front of the seat control elements for the electric front seat
adjustment.

WARNINGIf you or a passenger have limited pain and/or temperature sensitivity, e.g.
caused by medication, paralysis or because of chronic illness (e.g. diabetes),
we recommend that you consult your physician before using the ventilated
front seat.
CAUTION
■ Do not kneel on the seats or otherwise apply concentrated pressure to them.■The fan is located underneath the front seat cushion. Do not place any objects
in this area - it may damage the fan.■
Do not clean the seats using moisture » page 203, Seat covers .

Note■The ventilation should only be switched on when the engine is running. This
has a significant effect of saving on the battery capacity.■
We do not recommend using the front seat ventilation and heating at the same
time. Using the ventilation to cool the seat surface considerably reduces the
heating capacity, at the same time affecting the ability of the control unit to de-
tect the right seat surface temperature.

The heating effect is dependent upon the coolant temperature, thus full heat
output only occurs when the engine has reached its operating temperature.
If the cooling system is switched on, the temperature and air humidity drops in
the vehicle. The cooling system prevents the windows from misting up during
winter months.
It is possible to briefly activate recirculated air mode to enhance the cooling ef-
fect.
Please refer to the information regarding recirculated air mode for the air-condi-
tioning system » page 102 or for Climatronic » page 105.
WARNINGFor your own safety and that of other road users, ensure that all the windows
are free of ice, snow and misting. Please familiarize yourself about how to cor- rectly operate the heating and ventilation systems, how to demist and defrost
the windows, as well as with the cooling mode.
CAUTION
■ The air inlet in front of the windscreen must be free (e.g. of ice, snow or leaves)
to ensure that the heating and cooling system operates properly.■
After switching on the cooling Condensation from the evaporator of the air con-
ditioning may drip down and form a puddle below the vehicle. This is not a leak!
Note■ The used air streams out through the vents in the boot.■We recommend that you do not smoke in the vehicle when the recirculating air
mode is operating since the smoke which is drawn at the evaporator from the in- terior of the vehicle forms deposits in the evaporator of the air conditioning sys-tem. This produces a permanent odour when the air conditioning system is oper-ating which can only be eliminated through considerable effort and expense (re-
placement of compressor).

Using the air conditioning system economically
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-ings
on page 98.
The compressor on the air conditioning system uses power from the engine whenin cooling mode which will effect the fuel consumption.
It recommended to open the windows or the doors of a vehicle for which the inte- rior has been strongly heated through the effect of direct sunlight in order to al-low the heated air to escape.
The cooling system should not be on if the windows are open.

For the sake of the environmentPollutant emissions are also lower when fuel is being saved » page 143, Eco-
nomical driving and environmental sustainability .
Operational problems
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings
on page 98.
If the cooling system does not operate at outside temperatures higher than +5 °C,
there is a problem in the system. The reasons for this may be.
› One of the fuses has blown. Check the fuse and replace if necessa-
ry » page 244 .
› The cooling system has switched off automatically for a short time because the
coolant temperature of the engine is too hot » page 11.
If you are not able to resolve the operational problem yourself, or if the cooler output has reduced, switch off the cooling system and seek assistance from a
specialist garage.

The cooling system operates only if the following conditions are met. The cooling system is switched on » page 100.
The engine is running.
The outside temperature is above approx. +2 °C.
The blower switch is switched on (positions 1-4).
Under certain circumstances, air at a temperature of about 5 °C can flow out of the vents when the cooling system is switched on.
If the desired interior temperature can also be achieved without activating the
cooling system, fresh air mode should be selected.
The cooling system is switched off at a high coolant temperature in order to pro-
vide cooling at a high load of the engine.
CAUTION
Lengthy and uneven distribution of the air flow out of the vents (especially
around the feet) and large differences in temperature, for example, when getting
out of the vehicle, can cause susceptible individuals to catch a cold.
Note
We recommend that you have the air conditioning system cleaned by a specialist
garage once every year.

The Climatronic in automatic mode ensures the best-possible setting of the tem-
perature of the outflowing air, the blower stage and air distribution.
The system also takes sunlight into account, which eliminates the need to alterthe settings manually.
The cooling system operates only if the following conditions are met. The cooling system is switched on » page 100.
The engine is running.
The outside temperature is above approx. +2 °C.
The cooling system is switched off at a high coolant temperature in order to pro-
vide cooling at a high load of the engine.
Aeration of the vehicle when ignition is switched off
On models fitted with power sliding/tilting roof with sollar cells, the fresh air blower is automatically switched over to “solar mode” if the sun ray's are suffi-
cient after switching off the ignition. The solar cells on the sliding/tilting roof de-
liver power for the fresh air blower. This supplies the interior of the car with fresh air.
For an optimum ventilation, the air outlet vents 2 and 3 must be opened » Fig. 105
on page 99.
The ventilation functions only when the sliding/tilting roof is fully closed.
Note■ We recommend that you have Climatronic cleaned by a specialist garage once
every year.■
On vehicles equipped with a factory-fitted radio or radio navigation system, the
Climatronic information is also shown on their displays. This function can be
switched off, see » operating instructions for the radio or navigation system .

Auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating and ventilation)
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Switching on/off
108
Radio remote control
109
Conditions for the functioning of auxiliary heating (Aux. heating and ventilation),
hereinafter referred to only as auxiliary heating (Aux. heating).
The charge state of the vehicle battery is sufficient.
The fuel supply is adequate (the warning icon
is not lit in the display of the
instrument cluster).
Auxiliary ventilation
The auxiliary ventilation enables fresh air to flow into the vehicle interior by
switching off the engine, whereby the interior temperature is effectively de-
creased (e.g. with the vehicle parked in the sun).
Auxiliary heating (aux. heating)
The auxiliary heating (aux. heating) can be used when stationary, when the en- gine is switched off to preheat the vehicle and while driving (e.g. during the heat-
ing phase of the engine).
The auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating) functions in connection with the air-con-
ditioning system or Climatronic.
The auxiliary heating (aux. heating) also warms up the engine. This is not valid for
vehicles with the 3.6 l/191 kW FSI engine.
The auxiliary heating (parking heating) warms up the coolant by combusting fuel
from the vehicle tank. The coolant heats air flowing into the passenger compart-
ment (as long as the blower fan speed
B
» Fig. 107 on page 100 or » Fig. 108 on
page 103 is not set to zero).
WARNING■ The auxiliary heating (aux. heating) must never be operated in closed rooms
(e.g. garages) – risk of poisoning!■
The auxiliary heating (aux. heating) must not be allowed to run during refu-
elling – risk of fire.
■
The exhaust pipe of the auxiliary heating (aux. heating) is located on the un-
derside of the vehicle. Therefore, if you wish to operate the auxiliary heating
(aux. heating), do not park the vehicle in such a way that the exhaust gases
can come into contact with highly flammable materials (e.g. dry grass) or easily
inflammable substances (e.g. spilt fuel) – risk of fire.
CAUTION
■ Running auxiliary heating (aux. heating) consumes fuel from the vehicle tank
and automatically controls the filling level. If only a low quantity of fuel is present in the fuel tank, the auxiliary heating (aux. heating) switches off.■
The exhaust pipe of the auxiliary heating (aux. heating), which is located on the
underside of the vehicle, must not be clogged and the exhaust flow must not be blocked.
■
If the auxiliary heating (aux. heating) is running, the vehicle battery discharges.
If the auxiliary heating and ventilation has been operated several times over a
longer period, the vehicle must be driven a few kilometres in order to recharge
the vehicle battery.
Note
■ The auxiliary heating (aux. heating) switches on the blower B » Fig. 107 on
page 100 or » Fig. 108 on page 103 only if it has achieved a coolant temperature
of approx. 50 °C.■
At low outside temperatures, this can result in a formation of water vapour in
the area of the engine compartment. This is quite normal and is not an operating problem.
■
The air inlet in front of the windscreen must be free (e.g. of ice, snow or leaves)
to ensure that the auxiliary heating (aux. heating) operates properly.
■
So that warm air can flow into the vehicle interior after switching on the auxili-
ary heating, you must maintain the comfort temperature normally selected by
you, leave the fan switched on and leave the air outlet vents in an open position.
It is recommended to put the air flow in the position or .
