AUTO -Automatic headlight control*
With the switch in the AUTO position, the low beams are switched on
automatically depending on the ambient light, for example in a
tunnel, at dusk and when it is raining or snowing . When the low
beams are switched on, the
;oo :: symbol comes on. The low beams
remain switched on regardless of the ambient light when you turn on
the fog lights.
When you turn off the ignition, the low beams are automatically
switched off .
On vehicles with a rain sensor* the headlights switch on automatically
after a few windshield wiper passes . However, the instrument
lighting will not be switched on.
With automat ic headlight control, you also have the high-beam func­
tion available. However, if you have not switched high beams back to
low beams while driving with automatic headlight contro l, only the
low beams come on the next time you turn on automatic headlight
control. In order to return to high beams again, you first have to pull
the high beam lever back to the normal position and then push the lever forward.
Light sensor* malfunction
In the event of a light sensor* malfunct ion, the driver is notified in
the instrument cluster display:
Automatic driving lights/automatic wipers defective
For safety reasons, the low beams are turned on permanently w ith
the switch in
AUTO . However, you can continue to turn the lights on
and off using the light sw itch. Have the light sensor checked as soon
as possible at an authorized Audi dealer or other qualified workshop . .,_

& WARNING
Automatic headlights are only intended to assist the driver. They
do not relieve the driver of his responsibility to check the head­
lights and to turn them on manually a ccording to th e current light
and visibility conditions . For example , fog cannot be detected by
the light sensors. So always switch on the headlights
fD under
these weather conditions and when driving in the dark.
[I] Tips
• Th e light sensor * for headlight contro l is located in the rear view
m irror mount. You shou ld therefore no t apply any st ick ers to the

Warm and cold
Deluxe automatic climate control
Applies to vehicles : wit h deluxe automat ic climat e cont ro l
Description
The climate control system can be used to set a comfort­
able temperature inside the vehicle.
The climate control system is a combination of a heating and ventila­
tion system as well a cooling system responsible for dehumidifying
and cooling the air inside the vehicle.
Th e automatic climate control system automatically maintains a
temperature once it has been set. The temperature of the air from
the vents, fan speed (air volume) and air distribution are a lso auto­
matically adjusted. The system also takes into account strong
sunlight so that manual adjustment is not necessary . So in almost all
cases,
automatic mode offers the best conditions for the comfort of
the occupants at all times of the year=>
page 97.
Please note the following :
The cooling mode lowers the humid ity level inside the vehicle. This
prevents fogging up of the windows.
In the case of high outside humidity and temperatures,
condensation
can drip from the air conditioning system evaporator and form a pool
under the vehicle . This is normal and not an indication of leaks!
At low outside temperatures, the fan automatically switches to a
higher speed when the coo lant reaches a sufficient temperature
except in the defroster position .
When starting with fu ll thrott le, the compressor of the automatic
climate control system is temporarily switched off to achieve full
eng ine power .
T o ensure engine cooling when the engine is under an extreme load,
the compressor is switched off at high coolant temperatures.
Controls and equip ­
ment Safety first
Warm and cold
Pollutant filter
The pollutant fi
lter (particle filter) ensures that impurities in the
outs ide air (e.g. dust, pollen) and odors are significantly reduced or
stopped . The air is also filtered in recirculation mode.
T he pollutant filter e lement must be changed at the intervals speci­
fied in the service plan so that the performance of the automatic
climate contro l system is not impaired.
If the effectiveness of the filter dec reases prematurely due to opera­
tion of the vehicle in areas with significant pollution, the filter
element must be changed between the specified service dates.
Key recognition
Th e cur rent automatic clima te control settings are automatically
stored and assigned to the master key.
Energy management
To prevent the battery from being discharged and to restore the
balance of energy, components which require large amounts of
energy are temporarily cut back or switched off=>
page 243. Heating
systems in particular require a great deal of energy. If you notice , for
example, that the rear window heater is not heating, then it has been
temporarily reduced or switched off by
energy management . These
systems are available again as soon as the energy balance has been
restored.
& WARNING
Traffic safety requires all window s to be clear of ic e, snow, and
condensation. Only then can good visibility be ensured . Famil­
iarize yourself with the correct operation of the automatic climate
control system as well as the proper procedure for defog-
ging/defrosting the windows. _,.

Rear window defogger [ GiP ]
The rear window defogger clears the rear window of
condensation.
- Press the [llW] button to turn the rea r window defogger on

T he rear window defogger wo rks only when the engine is running. The
indicator light in the button illuminates when the rear window
defogger is on.
The rear window defogger is sw itched off automatically after 10 to
20 minutes, depending on the outside temperature.
T he rear window defogger can be tu rned on pe rmanently by pressing
the
ICiW] button for more than two seconds. This remains stored until
the ignition is switched off. A rear window defogger that was
switched on also remains stored for 15 minutes after the ignition is
switched off.
If the e ng ine is restarted within these 15 minutes, the rear window
defogger is activated for 10 to 20 minutes, depending on outside
t emperature. When a vehicle is parked for a short time, the rear
window defogger does not need to be manually activated again.
W For the sak e of the en vironment
As soon as the rear window is clear, you should switch the rear
window defogger off. The reduced power consumption has a benefi­
cial effect on fue l consumption. •

- If the vehicle is extremely hot due to the heat of the sun,
briefly open doors and windows.

Description
The air conditioner is fully automatic and is designed to
maintain a comfortable and uniform climate inside the
vehicle.
We recommend the following settings:
- Set the temperature to 75 °F (+23 °C).
- Press the
[AUTO) button.
With this setting, you attain maximum comfort in the least amount
of time. Change this setting, as desired, to meet your personal needs.

Please note the following:
T urn on the a ir cond itioner to reduce humidity in the vehicle. This also
prevents the windows from fogging up.
When the outside temperature is high and the air is very humid,
condensati on from the evaporator may drip under the vehicle. This is
normal and does not indicate a leak .
If the outside temperature is low, the fan normally only switches to a
higher speed once the engine coolant has warmed up sufficiently.
T he air conditioner temporari ly switches off when you drive off from
a standstill using full throttle to save engine power.
T he compressor also switches off if the coolant temperature is too
high, so that the engine can be adequately cooled under extreme
loads.
Du st a nd p ollen filt er
The dust and pollen filter (a combined particle fi lter and activated
charcoal filter) reduces or prevents outside a ir po llution (dust, or
pollen) from entering the vehicle.
T he dust and pollen filter must be changed at the intervals specified
in your Maintenance booklet, so that the air conditioner can properly
work.
If you drive your vehicle in an area with a high degree of air pollution,
the filter may need to be changed more frequently than specified in .,.
