Climate controls
Controls
The air conditioning automatically maintains the selected temperature in the vehicle interior
throughout each season .
Fig. 68 Climate contro ls
We recommend the following sett ing :
> Rotate the knob ¢ fig. 68 @to the right to
switch on the air conditioning .
> Set the temperature to 72 °F (22 °() .
> Press the !AUTO I ¢ fig . 68 button .
Using the previously recommended setting is
the quickest way to achieve a comfortable cli ­
mate in the vehicle . This setting should there­
fore only be changed when persona l comfort
l eve ls or ce rtain circumstances requi re it .
The climate controls are a combination of au ­
tomatic heating and ventilation systems and a
coo ling system which dehumidifies and coo ls
the air ins ide the veh icle.
The climate controls automatically maintain a temperature once it has been set . The tem­
perat ure of the air from the vents, fan speed
(air vol ume) and ai r d ist ribution are also auto­
mat ical ly adjusted . The system also takes into
account strong s unshine so that manua l ad­
justment is not necessary. So in almost all cases,
a ut om at ic mode offers the best cond i­
tions for the comfort of the occupants at all
times of the year ¢
page 69.
Please not e:
In cooling mode , relative humidity in the inte­
rior is reduced . This prevents the w indows
from fogg ing up.
When relative hum idity and temperatures
outside are high ,
conden sati on can drip from
the a ir condition ing evaporator and form a
pool of water under the vehicle. This is normal
and not an ind ication of a leak!
When outs ide temperatures are low, the fan
does not switch to a higher speed until the
coolant has reached an adequate tempera ­
tu re, with the exception of the defrost set­
t ing.
When accelerating at wide-open throttle, the air conditioning compressor is temporarily
switched off to ma intain full engine power .
In order to ensure engine cooling under ex­
treme engine loads, the compressor is switch­ ed off if coolant temperatures climb too high.
Funct ions are set by turning the rotary knob
or switched on and off by tapp ing the buttons.

Pollutant filter
The po llutant filter (particle filter) ensures
that contaminants in the outs ide a ir (such as
dust or pollen) are greatly reduced or stop­ ped. The air is also f iltered in recirculation
mode .
The pollutant filter element must be changed according to the intervals spec ified in the
maintenance schedule so that the air cond i­
tioning system's pe rformance is not adversely
affected.
If the filter's effect iveness is weakened by
driving the vehicle in areas with heavily pollut­
ed outs ide a ir, the fi lter element should also
be changed in between the listed services.
,&. WARNING
For safety reasons, it is impo rtant that all
w indows are free o f ice, snow, a nd conden­
sation . Only then is good visib ility ensured .
Please fami liarize yourse lf wit h the correct
operation of the air conditioning and how
to deh umidify/defrost the windows.

@ Note
-If you s uspect that the climate controls
have been damaged, switch the system
off to avoid damaging it, and have it in ­
spected by an authorized Audi dealer.
-Audi cl imate control system repairs re­
quire special expertise and the proper
tools. You should contact an author ized
Audi dealer in the event of malfunctions.
(D Tips
- To avoid adversely affecting heat ing and
cooling performance and to prevent con­
densation on the w indows, the air i ntake
in front of the windshield must be free of
ice, snow, and leaves.
- T he a ir com ing from the vents and circu­

interior of a par ked vehicle is extreme ly
hot from the sun's rays, brief ly opening
the windows can speed up the cooling
process.

meet your own requirements .
(D Tips
If the d ifference between the desired tem­
pera ture set by you and the vehicle's interi­
or temperature is too great, the fan speed
will change automat ically. This is done so
that the desired temperature setting is
reached as quickly as possib le.
- In setting

ve nts ® are open.
- In setting~. air flows only to the windows
and the footwell , vents @, @ and ® are
open .
There are additional comb inations (through
intermediate settings) available to adjust a ir
distribution as needed .
(D Tips
If the climate controls are running in cool­
i ng mode, air should flow mainly from
vents @and @. To achieve sufficient cool­
i ng, you should never close these vents
complete ly.

This can cause fog on the windows. Cooling mode switches off automatically when the
outside temperature is be low zero .
(D Tips
If the LED in the switch stays on after A/C
ope ration has been switched off(= switch­
i ng the A/C off), there is a fault in an air
cond itioning component. Please consult
an authorized Audi dealer when there is an
operat ing problem.
Using the climate controls economically
Economical use of the clima te controls helps
to save fuel .
When climate control is working in cooling
mode, engine performance is reduced and
fuel consumpt ion is affected . To keep the time.,.

70 Warm and cold
the air conditioning is on as short as possible,
you should do the fo llowing:
... If you wo uld like to save f uel , sw itch the air
cond ition ing off .
... If you open the windows whi le driving,
switch the air conditioning off .
... If the vehicle is extremely hot due to the
heat of the sun, brief ly open doors and win­
dows.
@) For the sake of the environment
When you save fuel, you reduce emissions
from the vehicle.
Rear window defogger
The rear window defogger clears the rear win­
dow of condensation .
... Press the [iii) button c:> page 66, fig. 68 to
turn the rear window defogger on and off.
The rear window defogger works only when
the eng ine is running. The indicator light in
the button illuminates when t he rear window
defogger is turned on.
The rear window defogger is switched off au­
tomatically after 10 to 20 minutes, depend­ ing on the outside temperature.
At very low outside temperatures, the rear
window defogger can be switched on continu ­
ously by pushing the
[iii) button for more than
2 seconds. This remains stored unt il the igni­
tion is sw itched off. A rear window defogger
that was switched on also remains stored for
15 minutes after the ignition is switched off .
If the engine is restarted within these 15 mi­
nutes, the rear window defogger is act ivated
for 10 to 20 minutes, depend ing on outs ide
temperature . With a vehicle that is parked for
a short time, the rear w indow defogge r does
not need to be ma nually activated again.
@, For the sake of the environment
As soon as the rear window is clear, you
should switch the rear window defogger off.
The reduced power consumption has a
beneficial effect on fuel consumption .
Heated seats
Applies to vehicles : w ith hea ted seats
The seat cushion and the seatback of the
front seats can be heated electrically.
... Press the heated seats button I-J + I
c:> page 66, fig. 68 to set the level of heating
desired.
The range of cont ro ls goes from 1 to 3. Th e
heat setting selected is shown by LEDs above
the button.
A WARNING
-Indiv iduals with reduced sens itivity to pain
or temperature could develop burns when
using the seat heating function . To reduce
the r isk of injury, these ind ividuals should
not use seat heating.
~ Note
To avoid damage to the heating elements
in the seats, do not kneel on the seats or
place heavy loads on a small area of the
seat.
