Notes
• Some features mentioned are standard equipment on some
models only and options on others.
• For technical reasons, the arrangement of the switches and indi­
cator /warning lights may differ. The govern ing factor is the symbol
on the switch itself.

---------------------CONTROLS AND
EQUIPMENT
Rear lid I door open
ind icator
With the ignition switched on a symbol in
the digital display will come on when either
a door or the rear lid are opened.
For example, the above illustration shows
that the front passenger's door, the rear left
door and the rear lid are not closed. The
symbol blinks with the rear lid is open.
As soon as all the doors and rear lid are prop­
erly closed, the symbol will go out. Outside air
temperature
The outside temperature is displayed when
the ignition is switched on and the selector
lever of the automatic transmission is in a
driving position.
At temperatures between 41 °F (+5 °C)
and 23 °F (-5 °C), a snowflake symbol ap­
pears in temperature display. �W
ARNING
The snowflake symbol is to warn
you that there may be ice on the
road and that you should pay spe­
cial attention.
Ice can form or remain on bridges
and roads even at temperatures
above freezing.
When the vehicle is stationar y, or when you
are driving at very low driving speeds, the
temperature displayed may be slightly
higher than the actual outside temperature
as a result of heat from the engine.
The display will automatically switch from
Celsius to Fahrenheit (and vice versa) when­
ever you change the temperature display on
the climate control panel. See page 163.

See climate controls, page 163. 3
-Rear window defogger QiP
The rear window defogger works only with
the ignition on.
Depress the switch to turn on the rear win­
dow defogger. The indicator light in the
switch will light up.
When outside air temperatures are above
32°F {0°C) the rear window defogger will
turn off automatically after approximately
10 minu tes.
r.Gb In order to save electricity, m switch off the defogger when
the rear window is clear. The light in
the switch will go out.
When you save electri city, you save
fuel. See "Operate your vehicle eco­
nomically and minimize pollution",
paga 195.
The rear window defogger is not designed
for melt snow. Therefore, always remove
heavy snow and ice accumula tions before
driving off.

CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENT---------------------
Cli
mate controls
�W ARNING
• For clear visibility and safe driv­
ing, it is extremely important that
you follow the operating instruc­
tions on the proper use and func­
tion of the ventilation/heating, de­
fogg ing{defr osting and air condi­
tioning system in this manual. If in
doubt, consult your authorized
Audi Dealer.
• Good visibility comas with
clean windows free of fog, con­
densation and frost.
• Maximum heating output and
fast defro sting will occur only af­
ter the engine has reached operat­
ing temperature. Wait until you
have good visibility before moving
your vehicle.
16 2 The
air conditioner is fully auto­
matic, and is designed to maintain a com­
fortable and uniform climate inside the ve­
hicle .
The temperature of the air supplied to the in­
terior, the fan speed, air distribution and vol­
ume of air delivery are regulated automati­
cally.
This automatic climate control program can
also be adjusted manually by the driver and
the front passenger.
The illustration on the next page shows the
controls for the driver and front passenger
in the center console. The left display indi­
cates the temperature selected for the driv­
er's side and the right display the tempera­
ture selected for the front passenger's side.
The temperature is selected by pressing the
"+" or "-" buttons beneath the respective
displays. Recommended
standard setting for
all-year operation:
After switching on the ignition
• Select a temperature of
75 oF (23°C) and
• Press AUTO button.
With this setting, you attain maximum com­
fort in the least amount of time.
You only need to change this setting to
meet your personal needs.
Air outlets - see page 165.

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.

---------------------CONTROLS AND
EQUIPMENT
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.

VEHICLE CA
RE--------------------------
The manufacturing date on the tire
side wall (possibly only on the inside of the
wheel):
DOT ... 12 00 ... means that the tire was
produced in the 12th week of 2000.
Tire strength and performance decline with
age -even if the tires are not used. Tire
manufacturers caution that a tire more than
six years old cannot be expected to perform
reliably and safely even in normal use.
�W ARNING
Old tires can fail in use, causing
loss of vehicle control and person­
al injury.
Replace tires after six years re­
gardless of tread wear. Always re­
duce speed and drive cautiously if
you must use an old tire in an emer­
gency. Replace the tire as soon as
possible.
258 Uniform
Tire Quality Grading
Quality grades can be found where applica­
ble on the tire side wall between tread,
shoulder and maximum section width. For
example:
Treadwear 200, Traction AA, Tem­
perature A.
All passenger car tires must conform to
Federal Safety Requirements in addition to
these grades.
Tr eadwear
The treadwear grade is a comparative rating
based on the wear rate of the tire when
tested under controlled conditions on a spe­
cified government test course. For exam­
ple, a tire
Qraded 15
0 would wear one and
one half (1112) times as well on the govern­
ment course as a tire graded 1 00. The rei a·
tive perfo rmance of tires depends upon the
actual conditions of their use, however, and
may depart significantly from the norm due
to variations in driving habits, service prac­
tices and differences in road characteristics
and climate. Tra
ction
The traction grades, from highest to lowest,
are AA, A, Band C. Those grades represent
the tire's ability to stop on wet pave ment as
measured under controlled conditions on
specified government test surfaces of as­
phalt and concrete. A tire marked C may
have poor traction performa nce.
�W ARNING
The traction grade assigned to this
tire is based on straight-ahead
braking traction tests, and does
not include acceleration, corner­
ing, hydr oplaning or peak traction
characteristics.
