C... -Air recirculation
In the air recirculation mode, the supply of
outside air is blocked and the air in the pas­
senger compartment is recirculated. This
helps to prevent pollutant-conta ining out­
side air from entering the passenger
compartment. It is best not to use this set­
ting for exte nded periods of time.
If the windows begin to fog or ice
up, select the ® program setting as
soon as possible.
�W ARNING
• You will not receive any fresh
outside air when air recirculation
is on. Do not use this setting over
long periods of time because stale
air contributes to fatigue and re­
duced driver alertness.
• If the windows fog up, press the
air recirculation button again im­
mediately to switch off the air re­
circulation function or select de­
frost.

Economy
The air conditioner compressor can be
turned off to save fuel. However, the com­
fort level that the system can achieve in this
mode limited.
If the interior of the vehicle gets too hot, or
if the windows begin to fog or ice up, press
the ECON button again to tum the compres­
sor on again and switch back to AUTO .
OFF -Switching air conditioner oft
The air conditioner can be switched off by
pressing the button briefly. This cuts off the
supply of air from the outside.
To reactivate the air conditioner,
press the AUTO button or one of the blower,
temperature or air distribution selector but­
tons, or press OFF again.
It is not normally necessary to switch off the
air condition er.
- + Fan speed
The automatically selected fan speed (vol­
ume of air delivery) can be reduced or in­
creased manually by operati ng these but­
tons. The selected fan speed is shown by a
segment display above the buttons. 4iiJ

General notes
• Vehicle heating is depend upon tne tem­
perature of the engine coolant -therefore,
your vehicle interior will warm uponly when
the engine has reached its operating tem­
perature.
When the ambient temperature is too low,
the fan only switches to high speed modes
when the coolant has reached a sufficiently
high temperature, or when the ® button
has been depressed.
• Keeping the air intake slots in front of the
windshield free from ice, snow and debris
helps to make sure that the climate control
system will work properly.
• When the air conditioner compressor is
on it reduces both the temperature and the
humid ity of the air inside the vehicle. This
prevents the windows from fogging up.
• The air conditioner works best with the
windows and power roof* closed. •
If the inside temperature is very high af­
ter the vehicle has been parked in the sun,
open windows and allow the hot air to es­
cape before switching on the air condi­
tioner.
• The dust and pollen filter will prevent
dust and pollen etc. in the outside air from
entering the car. Switch to air recirculation
to prevent unpleasant fumes from entering
the vehicle.
If water drips under the
vehicle ...
At high outside temperatures and humidity,
condensation may drip from the evaporator.
This is normal and does not indicate a leak.
If the airflow is not cool ...
• At low ambient temperatures the air con­
ditioner compressor switches off automati­
cally. The compressor cannot be switc hed
on again in this case, even by pressing the
AUTO button. •
The air conditioner may switch itself off
temporarily to ensure sufficient engine
cooling when the engine is running at full
load.
The air conditioner will also be switched off
temporarily in the kick-down function. See
page 109.
• Check the air conditioning fuse on the
fuse p imel -see page 27 4. Have it replaced,
if necessary.
• If you suspect that the air conditioner is
damaged, for instance after an accident,
switch to the ECON and have the system
examined immediately for leaks or other
damage.

Electronic
Stability Program (ESP)
The Electronic Stability Program helps to
control the vehicle in critical maneuvers like
curves.
When the vehicle starts up and accelerates,
the wheels are prevented from spinning by
adjusting the engine power to conform to all
road conditions. This improves vehicle sta­
bil ity.
The system operates across the entire
speed range in combination with the ABS
syst em. If the Anti-Lock Brake System
(ABS) malfunctions, the ESP will also shut
down.
When you turn on the engine, the ESP will
automatically be activated and will perform
a self-test. The
system can be activated or deactivated
by press ing the button.
The warning light comes on when the sys­
tem is switch ed off. See page 124.
If you deactivate the ESP, a special ABS
mode designed mainly for all-road condi­
tions will be activated - see page 202.
It may be advantageous to turn off the sys­
tem in certain special cases when wheel
slippage is desired such as:
- when driving on difficult terrain VE
HICL E OPER ATION
- when driving in deep snow or on a loose
surface
- when trying to "rock" out the vehicle
when it has become stuck.
After this, you should switch the system
back on.
The ABS and EDS are still functioning even
if the ESP is switched off.

VEHICLE CA
RE----------------------------------------------------
Engine cooling system
The cooling system is sealed and generally
requires little attention.
The cooling system has been filled at the
factory with a permanent coolant which
does not need to be changed. The coolant
consists of a mixture of water and the
man ufacturer's coolant additive G 12 ABD
-ant ifreeze on a glycol base with anti-corro­
sion additives (50% for USA models; 60o/o
for Canadian models). This mixture assures
the necessary frost protection and protects
alloy components in the engine's cooling
system from corrosion and scaling. It also
raises the boiling point of the coolant.
Do not reduce the concentration of the cool­
ant in the summer by adding plain water.
The proportion of coolant additive
must be at least 500fa but not more
than 600fa to maintain antifreeze protec­
tion and cooling efficiency.
238 For
year-r ound driving, antifreeze is added at
the factory for temperatures down to:
-31 °F (-35 °C) USA
-40 °F (-40 °C) Canada.
g Always heed all WA RNINGS
E!!1 on page 232.
Never use eny coolant additive
other than our G12 ABD additive
(check label) for your vehicle. This
coolant additive is available at au­
thorized Audi Dealers.
Other types of antifreeze can. above
all. significantly reduce corrosion
protection. The resulting corrosion
can cause a loss of coolant and
therefore serious engine damage. When
adding coolant additive to
your cooling system. please remem­
ber:
Under no circumstances may G12
ABD be mixed with other coolant ad­
ditives (for example G 11 ).
You can recognize G12 ABD in the
expansion tank by its red color. If
the liquid in the expansion tank is
brown, G 12 ABD has been mixed
with another coolant additive. In
this case. your vehicle's coolant
must be changed as soon as pos­
sible.
Note
Mixing coolant additives can result
in serious malfunction or engine
damage!
