Economical use of the climate control
system
Economical use of the climate control system helps save
fuel.
When the climate control system is working in cooling mode,
engine performance is reduced and fuel consumption is
affected. To keep the time the climate control system is on as
short as possible, you should do the following:
- To save fuel, turn off cooling mode by pressing the AC
button (indicator light goes out).
- In addition, if you open the window while driving, turn off
cooling mode by pressing the AC button (indicator light
goes out).
- If the vehicle is extremely hot due to the heat of the sun,
briefly open doors and windows.
~ For the sake of the environment
When you save fuel, you reduce emissions from the vehicle. •
Applies to vehicles: with deluxe automatic climate cont rol plus
Deluxe automatic climate control plus -
basic settings
The basic climate control settings can be adjusted in the
radio or MM!*.
-Select: Function button (CAR]> Climate control switch.
Automatic recirculation
An air quality sensor detects increased concentrations of pollutants
in the outside air and automatically switches to recirculation mode. We recommend that you always keep automatic
recirculation ON to
prevent polluted outside air from entering the vehicle interior.
If the
air quality sensor located in the climate control system detects
polluted outside air, the sensor decides whether the air pollution can
be reduced by the factory-installed pollutant filter or whether it is
necessary to switch to recirculation. With heavy concentrations of
pollutants, the climate control system is switched automatically to
recirculation mode and the supply of outside air is blocked. As soon
as the concentration of pollutants in the outside air drops, fresh air is
supplied to the vehicle interior again.
In the event that the windows fog up during automatic recirculation,
press the
l@I button immediately.
Under certain operating conditions, automatic recirculation is
switched off automatically. When outside temperatures are below
about 50
°F ( + 10 °(), automatic recirculation is limited to
30 seconds. When outside temperatures are below about 30
°F (-
1 °C), automatic recirculation is limited to 15 seconds .
Synchronization
After Synchronization is set to on, all of the subsequent climate
control settings (except for seat heating*) for the driver are trans­
ferred to the front passenger .
Synchronization is canceled when settings are adjusted on the front
passenger's side .•

& WARNING
Improper use of steering wheel adjustment and improper seating
position can cause serious personal injury .
• Adjust the steer ing wheel column only when the vehicle is not
moving to prevent loss of vehicle control.
• Adjust the dri ver's seat or steering wheel so that there is a
minimum of 10 inches (25 cm) between your chest and the
steering wheel=>
page 178, fig. 178 . If you cannot maintain this
minimum distance , the airbag system cannot protect you prop­
erly .
• If physical limitations prevent you from sitting 10 inches (25
cm) or more from the steering wheel, check with your authorized
Audi dealer to see if adaptive equipment is available.
• If the steering wheel is al igned with your face, the supple­
mental driver 's airbag cannot provide as much protection in an
accident . Always make sure that the steering wheel is aligned with
your chest.
• Always hold the steering wheel with your hands at the 9 o 'clock
and 3 o'clock positions to reduce the risk of personal injury if the
driver's airbag deploys .
• Never hold the steering wheel at the 12 o'clock po sition or with
your hands inside the steering wheel
rim or on the steer ing wheel
hub. Holding the stee ring wheel the wrong way can cause serious
injur ies to the hands, arms and head if the driver's airbag
deploys. •
