2000 AUDI ALLROAD air conditioning

CONT
ROLS AND EQUIPMENT
The above illustration shows the outlets at
the rear of the center console.
Air is directed to these outlets automati­
cally.
The heater outlets for the rear footwall are
located under the front seats. They are con­
trolled together with outlet 5.
16 6 Solar
roof*
On models with a solar sliding roof, if the ve­
hicle is parked in sufficiently strong sunlight
and the ignition has been turned off, the
blower automatically switches to the solar­
powered mode. The blower motor runs on
solar energy, keeping the vehicle's interior
supplied with fresh air.
For optimum air delivery the center (4) and
the side dashboard vents (3) should be
opened.
The solar -powered fan only works when the
sliding roof is closed or raised open at the
rear.
If the ventilation system happens to be set
to the recirculate mode, the climate control
system automatically switches to the fresh
air mode. Key
coding
To achie ve maximum comfort levels, the
current manual settings for the air condi­
tioning system are automatically saved.
For example, if the air conditioning settings
were changed when someone else used
your car, the air condition system will auto­
matically be reset to the settings that match
your key when you turn on the ignition
again.
This assumes that the previous driver used
a key other than yours. If the previous driver
used your key, his or her new settings
would be assigned to your key.
If a number of persons use the vehicle, then
if possible, each should use a different key.
In this way, your personal air conditioning
set ting will be restored automatically.

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.
