The temperature control is controlled automatically. More air flows out of the air outlet
vents 1.Auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating and ventilation)*Description and important information
The auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating and ventilation) heats or
supplies the interior of the vehicl e with fresh air independent of the
engine.Auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating)
The auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating) functions in connection with the Climatic or
Climatronic.
It can be used when stationary, when engi ne is switched off for preheating of the
vehicle as well as while driving (e.g. during the heating phase of the engine).
The engine is also preheated when the vehicle is stationary and the engine is switched
off, if the auxiliary heating is switched on. This is not valid for the engines 3.6 ltr./191 kW
FSI and 1.9 ltr./77 kW TDI.
The auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating) wa rms up the coolant during the combustion
of fuel from the vehicle tank. The coolant warms up the air, which (if the blower speed
is not set to zero) flows in to the occupant compartment.
Auxiliary ve ntilation
The auxiliary ventilation enables fresh air to flow into the vehicle interior by switching
off the engine, whereby the interior temperature is effectively decreased (e.g. with the
vehicle parked in the sun).
WARNING

The auxiliary heating must never be operated in closed rooms - risk of
poisoning!

The auxiliary heating must not be running during refueling - risk of fire.

The exhaust pipe of the auxiliary heatin g is located on the underside of the
vehicle. Therefore do not place the vehicle, if you wish to operate the auxiliary
heating, in such a way that the exhaust gases of the auxiliary heating can come
easily into contact with inflammable mate rials (e.g. dry grass) or easily inflam-
mable substances (e .g. fuel run out).Note

If the auxiliary heating runs, the fuel consumption comes from the vehicle tank.
Therefore the auxiliary heating should not be operated, if there is very little fuel in the
tank.

The exhaust pipe of the auxiliary heating, which is located on the underside of the
vehicle, must not be clogged and th e exhaust flow must not be blocked.

If the auxiliary heating and ventilation 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 ki lometers in order to recharge the vehicle
battery.

The auxiliary heating only switches the bl ower on, 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 qu ite normal and is not an operating problem.

After switching off the auxiliary heating, the coolant pump runs for a short period.

The auxiliary heating and ventilation does not switch on or comes on, if the vehicle
battery indicates a low loading state.

The auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating) does not switch on, if the following was
shown in the information display or before switching off the ignition: Please refuel!

The air inlet in front of the windscreen must be free of ice, snow or leaves in order
to ensure that the auxiliary heating operates properly.

The prerequisite for the correct switching on of the auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating
and ventilation) according to the programmed
pre-set time is the correct setting of the
current time and the weekday page 118.
If the system is running, a wa rning light in the button for direct switching on/off of the
auxiliary heating lights up.
The running system deactivate s after expiration of the operating period or is deacti-
vated earlier by pressing the button for dire ct switching on/off of the auxiliary heating
 page 118.
A random pre-set time can be deactivated by selecting the menu point Deactivate in
the menu Activate.
After selecting the menu Fa c t o r y s e t t i n g in the menu Aux. heating , it is possible to
return to the factory setting.
Radio remote control
The auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating and ventilation) can be
switched on or off with the remote control.– For switching on, press the button .
– For switching off, press the button .
The transmitter and the battery are housed in the housing of the remote control. The
receiver is located in the interior of the car.
If the battery is properly charged, the effective range is up to 600 m. For switching on
or off the auxiliary heating, hold the remo te control vertically with the antenna 
fig. 124 towards the top. You must not cover over the antenna with the fingers or the
palm of the hand. Obstacles between the ra dio remote control and the vehicle, bad
weather conditions and a weaker batt ery can clearly reduce the range.
The auxiliary heating can only be switched on or off with the radio remote control, if
the distance between the radio remote control and the vehicle is at least 2 m.
Warning light in the radio remote control
The warning light in the radio remote control fig. 124 indicates after a keystroke if
the remote control signal was received by the auxiliary heating and if the battery is
adequately charged.
Caution
There are electronic components in the radio remote control, protect the remote
control against water, severe shocks and direct sun rays.

Changing the battery of the radio remote controlIf the warning light of the radio remote cont rol indicates a weak or discharged battery,
 page 119, fig. 124 , it must be replaced. The battery is located under a cover on the
back of the radio remote control.
– Place a coin into the gap of the battery cover and by turning to the left, unlock the
cover.
– Change the battery, insert the cover and lock it by turning to the right.
For the sake of the environment
Dispose of a used battery in accord ance with environmental regulations.
Note

Pay attention to the correct polarity when changing the battery.

The replacement battery must have the same specification as the original battery.

Starting-off and DrivingSetting steering wheel positionFig. 125 Adjustable steering wheel: Lever belo w the steering wheel / safe distance to the
steering wheelYou can set the height and the forward/back position of the steering wheel to the
desired position.
– Adjust the driver seat page 80.
– Pull the lever below the steering wheel down fig. 125 - left  .
– Set the steering wheel to the desired position (concerning height and forward/back position).
– Push the lever upwards as far as the stop.
WARNING

You must not adjust the steering wheel when the vehicle is moving!

The driver must maintain a distance of at least 25 cm to the steering wheel
 fig. 125 - right. Not maintaining this minimum distance will mean that the
airbag system will not be able to properly protect you - hazard!

For safety reasons the lever must always be firmly pushed up to avoid the
steering wheel altering its po sition unintentionally when driving - risk of acci-
dent!

If you adjust the steering wheel furthe r towards the head, you will reduce
the protection offered by the driver airbag in the event of an accident. Check
that the steering wheel is aligned to the chest.

When driving, hold the steering wheel with both hands firmly on the outer
edge in the 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock po sition. Never hold the steering wheel
firmly in the 12 o'clock position or in another way (e.g. in the middle of the
steering wheel or at the inne r steering wheel edge). In such cases, injuries to the
arms, the hands and the head can occur when the driver airbag is deployed.
