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

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
