2014 AUDI TT ROADSTER Owners Manual

-To reduce the risk of injury in the case of
sudden braking or accident, front pas­
sengers must never ride in a moving ve­
hicle with the seatback reclined. Safety
belts and the airbag system offer maxi­
mum protection only when the seatback
is upright and the safety be lts are prop­
erly positioned on the body. The more
the seatback is reclined, the greater the
risk of personal injury from an incorrect
seating position and improperly posi­
tioned safety be lts!
- Always make sure the front seatbacks are
in the upright position and securely
locked in place when dr iving.
Head restraints

Climate controls
Controls
The air conditioning automatically maintains the selected temperature in the vehicle interior
throughout each season .
Fig. 79 Climate contro ls
We recommend the following sett ing :
> Rotate the knob 9 fig. 79 @ to the right to
switch on the air conditioning .
> Set the temperature to 72 °F (22 °().
> Press the !AUTO !~ fig. 79 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 personal comfort
l eve ls or certain circumstances require it.
The climate controls are a combination of au ­
tomatic heating and ventilation systems and a
coo ling system which dehum idifies and coo ls
the air inside the vehicle.
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 air distribution are also auto­
matically adjusted . The system also takes into
account strong sunshine so that manua l ad­
justment is not necessary. So in almost all
cases,
automatic mode offers the best condi­
tions for the comfort of the occupants at all
times of the year
9 page 71 .
Please note :
In cooling mode , relative humidity in the inte­
rior is reduced . This prevents the windows
from fogg ing up.
When relative humidity and temperatures outside are high ,
condensation 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 outside 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 in g.
When accelerating at wide-open throttle, the air conditioning compressor is temporarily
switched off to maintain 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.
Functions are set by turning the rotary knob
or switched on and off by tapp ing the buttons.

The LED in the buttons illum inates when the
function is active.

Pollutant filt er
The pollutant filter (particle filter) ensures
that contaminants in the outside air (such as
dust or po llen) are greatly reduced or stop­
ped. The air is also filtered in recirculation
mode.
The pollutant filter element must be changed
according to the intervals specified in the
maintenance schedule so that the air condi­
tioning system's performance is not adversely
affected .
If the fi lter's effectiveness is weakened by
driving the vehicle in areas with heavily pollut­
ed outside air, the filter element should also
be changed in between the listed services.
A WARNING
For safety reasons, it is important that all
w indows are free of ice, snow, and conden­
sa tion. Only then is good visib ility ensured.
Please fam iliarize yourse lf w ith the correct
operation of the air conditioning and how
to de humidify/defrost the windows .
(D Note
-If yo u suspect that the clima te controls
have been damaged, switch the system
Warm and c old 69
off to avoid damaging it, and have it in ­
spected by an authorized Audi dealer .
- Audi climate control system repairs re ­
quire special expertise and the proper
tools . You should contact an authorized
Audi dealer in the event of malfunctions.
(D Tips
- To avoid adversely affecting heating and
cooling performance and to prevent con­
densation on the windows, the air intake
in front of the windshield must be free of
ice, snow, and leaves.
- The air coming from the vents and circu­
lat ing through the entire interior is ex­
tracted through the out let slots in the
side pane ls in t he luggage compartment.
Make sure that the outlet slots are not
covered by clothing, etc.
- Climate control works most effectively if
the windows are closed. Howeve r, if the
inter io r of a par ked vehicle is ext reme ly
hot from the sun's rays, briefly open ing
t he windows can speed up the cooling
process .
Setting temperature
.. Turn the rotary knob CD Q page 68, fig. 79
to the desired temperature setting.
To set a lower temperature, turn the rotary
knob to the left. To set a higher temperature,
turn the rotary knob to the right. There are

I n a utomat ic mode the cl imate control sys­

.,. To open and close the o utlets, turn the ad­
justing ring .
.,. To adj ust the direct ion of the airf low from
the outlet, move the tab in the center o f the
outlet in the des ired d irect ion. The direction
of the air de livered from the vents can be
adjusted horizontally and vertically .
A ir distribution :
- In sett ing
-0-, air flows only to the w indows,
vents
(D and @are open . To defrost the
driver and front passenger side windows
most effectively, the vents @should be di­
rected toward the side w indows.
- In sett ing@, air flows on ly to the dr iver/
passenger, vents ® and © are open.
- In setting{}, air flows only to the footwell,
vents ® are open .
(D Tips
If the difference between the desired tem­
perature set by you and the veh icle's interi­
or temperature is too great, the fan speed
will change a utomat ically. This is done so
that the desired temperature setting is
r eached as q uic kly as possib le.
- In setting~' air flows only to the windows
and the footwell, ven ts
(D , @ and ® are
open.
T he re a re additional comb inat ions (th ro ugh
in termediate settings) available to adjus t air
dist ribution a s needed.
(r} Tips
If the climate contro ls are running in cool­
i ng mode, air should flow mainly from
vents @and @. To achieve sufficient co ol­
i ng, you should never close these ven ts
complete ly .
