Auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating and ventilation)
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Switching on/off

Conditions for the functioning of auxiliary heating (Aux. heating and ventilation),
hereinafter referred to only as auxiliary heating (Aux. heating).
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).
Auxiliary heating (aux. heating)
The auxiliary heating (aux. heating) can be used when stationary, when the en- gine is switched off to preheat the vehicle and while driving (e.g. during the heat-
ing phase of the engine).
The auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating) functions in connection with the air-con-
ditioning system or Climatronic.
The auxiliary heating (aux. heating) also warms up the engine. This is not valid for
vehicles with the 3.6 l/191 kW FSI engine.
The auxiliary heating (parking heating) warms up the coolant by combusting fuel
from the vehicle tank. The coolant heats air flowing into the passenger compart-
ment (as long as the blower fan speed
B
» Fig. 107 on page 100 or » Fig. 108 on
page 103 is not set to zero).
WARNING■ The auxiliary heating (aux. heating) must never be operated in closed rooms
(e.g. garages) – risk of poisoning!■
The auxiliary heating (aux. heating) must not be allowed to run during refu-
elling – risk of fire.
■
The exhaust pipe of the auxiliary heating (aux. heating) is located on the un-
derside of the vehicle. Therefore, if you wish to operate the auxiliary heating
(aux. heating), do not park the vehicle in such a way that the exhaust gases
can come into contact with highly flammable materials (e.g. dry grass) or easily
inflammable substances (e.g. spilt fuel) – risk of fire.
CAUTION
■ Running auxiliary heating (aux. heating) consumes fuel from the vehicle tank
and automatically controls the filling level. If only a low quantity of fuel is present in the fuel tank, the auxiliary heating (aux. heating) switches off.■
The exhaust pipe of the auxiliary heating (aux. heating), which is located on the
underside of the vehicle, must not be clogged and the exhaust flow must not be blocked.
■
If the auxiliary heating (aux. heating) 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 kilometres in order to recharge
the vehicle battery.
Note
■ The auxiliary heating (aux. heating) switches on the blower B » Fig. 107 on
page 100 or » Fig. 108 on page 103 only 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 quite normal and is not an operating problem.
■
The air inlet in front of the windscreen must be free (e.g. of ice, snow or leaves)
to ensure that the auxiliary heating (aux. heating) operates properly.
■
So that warm air can flow into the vehicle interior after switching on the auxili-
ary heating, you must maintain the comfort temperature normally selected by
you, leave the fan switched on and leave the air outlet vents in an open position.
It is recommended to put the air flow in the position  or .

The transmitter and the battery are housed in the housing of the remote control. The receiver is located in the interior of the vehicle.
When the battery is fully charged, the range of the remote control is a few hun-
dred metres. Obstacles between the remote control and the vehicle, bad weather
conditions and a weaker battery in the remote control can clearly reduce the range.
To switch the auxiliary heating (aux. heating) on or off, hold the remote control
vertical, with the aerial
A
pointing upwards. The antenna must not be covered
with the fingers or the palm of the hand during this process.
The auxiliary heating can only be switched on/off safely using the radio remote control, if the distance between the radio remote control and the vehicle is at
least 2 m.

First read and observe the introductory information given on page 122.
The voice control system (hereinafter referred to as the system) makes it possible to use voice commands for some functions of the hands-free system.
The period of time during which the system is ready to receive voice commandsand to carry them out is called a dialogue. The system gives audible feedback and guides you if necessary through the relevant functions.
Optimum understanding of the voice commands depends on several factors. › Speak with a normal tone of voice without intonation and excessive pauses.
› Avoid a bad pronunciation.
› Close the doors, windows and sliding roof, to reduce or stop disturbing exterior
noise.
› You are recommended to speak louder at higher speeds, so that the sound of
your voice is not drowned out by the increased ambient noise.
› During the dialogue, limit additional noise in the vehicle, e.g. passengers talking
at the same time.
› Do not speak, if the system makes an announcement.
The microphone for voice control is inserted in the moulded headliner and direc- ted to the driver and front passenger. Therefore the driver and the front passen-
ger can operate the equipment.
Entering a phone number
The telephone number can be entered as a continuous series of individually spo-
ken digits (the whole number at once) or in the form of digital blocks (separated
by short pauses). After each order of digits (separation through brief voice pause)
all of the digits detected up to now are repeated by the system.
The digits 0 - 9, symbols +, 
, # are permitted. The system detects no continuous
digit combinations such as twenty-three, but only individually spoken digits (two, three).

131WARNING■ When driving, hold the steering wheel with both hands firmly on the outer
edge in the 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock position. Never hold the steering wheel in
the 12 o'clock position or in any other way (e.g. in the middle or inner edge of
the steering wheel). In such cases, you could severely injure the arms, hands
and head when the driver airbag is deployed.■
Never adjust the steering wheel when the vehicle is moving only when the
vehicle is stationary!
WARNING (Continued)■ Adjust the steering wheel so that the distance A » Fig. 116 between the
steering wheel and your chest is at least 25 cm. Adjust the distance of the
legs to the circuit board in the region of the knee airbag to at least 10 cm B.
If
you do not comply with the minimum distance, the airbag system will not pro-
tect you - danger of death!
■
If the steering wheel is adjusted further towards the head, the protection
provided by the driver airbag in the event of an accident is reduced. Check that the steering wheel is aligned to the chest.

Power steeringFirst read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-ings
on page 130.
The power steering enables you to steer the vehicle with less physical force.
The power steering only works when the engine is running. It is still fully possible to steer the vehicle if the power steering fails or if the en-gine is not running (e.g. when towing). However, greater physical effort is re-
quired to turn the steering wheel.

The engine can only be started using a correctly coded original key. The engine running noises may louder at first be louder for a short time afterstarting the cold engine. This is quite normal and is not an operating problem.
WARNING■ When driving, the ignition key must always be in the position 2 » Fig. 118 on
page 132 (ignition switched on) without the engine running. This position is
confirmed by the appearance of certain indicator lamps in the instrument clus-
ter. ■ If the key is not in position 2,
it could unexpectedly lock the steering -
danger of accident!
■
Only pull the ignition key from the ignition lock when the vehicle has come
to a complete stop (by applying the handbrake). Otherwise, the steering could
be blocked – risk of accident!
■
When leaving the vehicle, the ignition must always be removed. This is par-
ticularly important if children are left in the vehicle. Children could otherwise
start the engine for example – risk of accident or injury!
■
Never leave the vehicle unattended with the engine running.
■
Never switch off the engine before the vehicle is stationary – risk of acci-
dent!
WARNING■ Never leave the engine running in unventilated or closed rooms. The ex-
haust gases from the engine contain substances such as odourless and col-
ourless carbon monoxide (a poisonous gas) – risk to life! ■ Carbon monoxide can cause unconsciousness and death.
CAUTION
■The starter must only be operated when the engine is not running and the vehi-
cle is at a standstill. The starter or engine can be damaged if the starter is activa-
ted when the engine is running 3
» Fig. 118 on page 132.
■
Do not tow start the engine – there is a risk of damaging the engine and the
catalytic converter. The battery from another vehicle can be used as a jump-start
aid » page 234 , Jump-starting .
CAUTION
■
Avoid high engine revolutions, full throttle and high engine loads before the en-
gine has reached its operating temperature – risk of damaging the engine!■
Do not switch the engine off immediately at the end of your journey after the
engine has been operated over a prolonged period at high loads but leave it to
run at an idling speed for about 1 minute. This prevents any possible accumulation
of heat when the engine is switched off. 
