WARNING■
Concentrate fully at all times on your driving! As the driver, you are fully
responsible for the operation of your vehicle.■
Even at temperatures of around +4 °C, there may still be black ice on the
road surface. You should therefore not rely solely on the outside tempera-
ture display for accurate information as to whether there is ice on the road.
Note■ In certain national versions the displays appear in the Imperial system of
measures.■
If the display of the second speed is activated in mph, the current speed is
not indicated in km/h on the display.
■
The amount of fuel consumed will not be indicated.

ABCD69Lights and visibility

Tourist lights (Travel mode)
This mode makes it possible to drive in countries with opposing traffic system
(driving on the left/right) without dazzling the oncoming vehicles.
When this mode is active, the above mentioned modes and the side swivel of the headlights are deactivated.
This mode can be enabled or disabled via the MAXI DOT display in the Travel
mode » page 48 , Lights and visibility menu option.WARNINGIf the AHL system is defective, the headlights are automatically lowered to
the emergency position, which prevents a possible dazzling of oncoming
traffic. This reduces the cone of light in front of the vehicle. Drive carefully
and visit a specialist garage as soon as possible.
Note
When the “tourist light” mode is active, the warning light  flashes for 10 sec-
onds each time the ignition is switched on.

Repeatedly pressing the symbol button  on the left or right reduces or in-
creases blower speed.
If the blower is switched off, the Climatronic system is switched off.

spective number of warning lights illuminate.
WARNING■ “Stale air” may result in fatigue in the driver and occupants, reduce atten-
tion levels and also cause the windows to mist up. The risk of having an ac-
cident increases.■
Do not switch off the Climatronic system for longer than necessary.

Functional requirements of the auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating and ventila-
tion)
The charge state of the vehicle battery is sufficient.
The fuel supply is adequate (the warning icon  is not lit in the display of
the instrument cluster).
Auxiliary ventilation
The auxiliary ventilation enables fresh air to flow into the vehicle interior by
switching off the engine, whereby the interior temperature is effectively de-
creased (e.g. with the vehicle parked in the sun).
Additional heating (hereinafter only as a aux. heating)
The auxiliary heating can be used when both when stationary, when the en-
gine is switched off, to preheat the vehicle and also while driving (e.g. during
the heating phase of the engine).
The aux. heating functions in connection with the air conditioning system or
Climatronic.
The auxiliary heating also warms up the engine. This is not valid for vehicles
with the 3.6 l/191 kW FSI engine.
The auxiliary heating warms up the coolant by combusting fuel from the vehi-
cle tank. This warms the air flowing into the passenger compartment (if the
blower is turned on).
Depending on the environmental conditions, the automatic on or off of the
heater occurs, which causes the best possible conditions for the engine run-
ning and the interior heating.
For vehicles with petrol engines, the automatic switching on and off of the
heater can be disabled at a specialist workshop. 
