Opening the air supply when the air conditioning system is switched on allows cooled air to flow into the storage compartment.
Opening the air inlet when the air conditioning system is on causes fresh or in-

We recommend closing the air supply if it is operated in heating mode or the
cooling system for the storage compartment is not being used.

illuminated (lamp removed from the holder).
If the lamp is in the holder, it is automatically switched on when the tailgate is
opened and switched off again when the tailgate is closed.
The lamp is supplied by three rechargeable type AAA batteries. The rechargea-
ble batteries are constantly charged when the engine is running. It takes ap-
prox. 3 hours to fully charge the rechargeable batteries.
The lamp is fitted with magnets. Therefore it is possible to attach the lamp, for example on the vehicle body, after removing it.
CAUTION
The removable lamp is not watertight and must therefore be protected against
moisture.
Note
■ If the lamp is not correctly inserted into the holder, it does not light up when
the boot lid is opened and the rechargeable batteries are not charged.■
If the lamp is not switched off and it is correctly inserted in the holder, the

Recirculated air mode
Read and observe
on page 110 first.
Recirculated air mode prevents polluted air outside the vehicle from getting in-to the vehicle, for example when driving through a tunnel or when standing in
a traffic jam.

Recirculated air mode is switched off automatically if the air distribution con-
trol C » Fig. 124 on page 110 is turned to the  position.
Recirculated air mode can be switched on again from this setting by repeatedly pressing the symbol button 
.WARNINGDo not leave recirculated air mode on over a longer period of time, as
“stale” air can cause fatigue of the driver and passengers, reduce attention
levels and also cause the windows to mist up. The risk of having an acci-
dent increases. Switch off recirculated air mode as soon as the windows
start to mist up.112Operation

The automatic mode is used in order to maintain a constant temperature and

Set the air outlet vents 2 and 3 » Fig. 122 on page 108 so that the air flow is
directed slightly upwards.
After pressing, an indicator light in the top right or left corner of the button
 lights up, depending on which mode was last selected.
If the warning light in the top right corner of the button  lights up, the Cli-
matronic operates in “HIGH”-mode.
The “HIGH” mode is the standard setting of the Climatronic.
When pressing  the button again, the Climatronic switches to “LOW”-mode
and the indicator light in the top left corner lights up. The Climatronic uses on-
ly in this mode the lower blower speed. However taking into account the noise
level, this is more comfortable, yet be aware that the effectiveness of the air
conditioning system is reduced particularly if the vehicle is fully occupied.
By pressing the button  again, it is changed to “HIGH”-mode.

114Operation

CAUTIONLengthy and uneven distribution of the air flow out of the vents (especially
around the feet) and large differences in temperature, for example, when get-
ting out of the vehicle, can cause susceptible individuals to catch a cold.
Recirculation mode - Version 1
Recirculated air mode prevents polluted air outside the vehicle from getting in-
to the vehicle, for example when driving through a tunnel or when standing in
a traffic jam.
If a considerable increase in concentration of pollutants is recognised by the air quality sensor, recirculated air mode will temporarily be switched off.
If the concentration of pollutants decreases to the normal level, the air distri-
bution control is automatically switched off so that fresh air can be guided into
the vehicle interior.
In recirculated air mode air is sucked out of the interior of the vehicle and then
fed back into the interior.
When the automatic air distribution control is switched on, an air quality sen-
sor measures the concentration of pollutants in the drawn in air.

levels and also cause the windows to mist up. The risk of having an acci-
dent increases. Switch off recirculated air mode as soon as the windows
start to mist up.

Auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating and ventilation)
 Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Switching on/off
117
Radio remote control
118
Conditions for the functioning of auxiliary heating (Aux. heating and ventila-
tion), 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
engine is switched off to preheat the vehicle and while driving (e.g. during the
heating phase of the engine).
The auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating) functions in connection with the air-
conditioning 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
compartment (as long as the blower fan speed
B
» Fig. 124 on page 110
or » Fig. 125 on page 113 is not set to zero). 
116Operation

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 re-
fuelling – risk of fire.
■
The exhaust pipe of the auxiliary heating (aux. heating) is located on the
underside 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 ex-
haust 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 discharg-
es. 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. 124 on
page 110 or » Fig. 125 on page 113 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 operat-
ing 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 aux-
iliary 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 po-
sition. It is recommended to put the air flow in the position 
or 
.

The auxiliary heating (aux. heating) can be switched on/off as follows.
Manually switching on using the button on the operating part of the manual air conditioning/Cli-
matronic. The warning light in the button lights up » Fig. 126;

After switching off the auxiliary heating, the coolant pump runs for a short pe-
riod.
