0 Note
• If you suspect that the automatic climate control system has been
damaged, switch the syst em off to avoid further damage and have it
inspected by a qualified dealership.
• Repairs to the Audi automatic climate control system requ ire
specialized knowledge and special tools . Therefore, contact an autho
rized dealer in the even t of malfunctions.
[ i J Tips
• To avoid adversely affecting heating and cooling performance and
to prevent condensat ion on the w indows, the air intake in front of the
windshield mus t be free of ice, snow and leaves.
• The air flowing out of the vents and throughout the vehicle's
entire interior is discharged at the rear of the vehicle. Make sure that
the outlet s lots are not covered by clothing, etc.
• The automatic climate control system works most effectively if
the windows and the panorama/tilting su nroof* are closed . However,
if the interior of a parked vehicle is extremely ho t from the sun,
br iefly opening the windows can speed up the cooling process.•
