The MAXI DOT display provides you with information about the current operat-
ing state of your vehicle. Depending on the vehicle equipment, it also provides
you with data relating to the radio, multifunction display (MFD), mobile phone,
navigation system, automatic gearbox and devices connected via the MDI in-
put. Furthermore, it allows the adjustment of some other features of your ve-
hicle.
WARNINGConcentrate fully at all times on your driving! As the driver, you are fully re-
sponsible for the operation of your vehicle.
CAUTION

Operational problemsRead and observe
and on page 108 first.
If the cooling system does not operate at outside temperatures higher than +5
°C, there is a problem in the system. The reasons for this may be.
› One of the fuses has blown. Check the fuse and replace if necessa-
ry » page 215 .
› The cooling system has switched off automatically for a short time because
the coolant temperature of the engine is too hot » page 29.
If you are not able to resolve the operational problem yourself, or if the cooler
output has reduced, switch off the cooling system and seek assistance from a
specialist garage.
Air conditioning system (manual air conditioning system)

Recirculated air mode

The cooling system operates only if the following conditions are met. The cooling system is switched on » page 110.
The engine is running.
The outside temperature is above approx. +2 °C.
The blower switch is switched on (positions 1-4).
Under certain circumstances, air at a temperature of about 5 °C can flow out of
the vents when the cooling system is switched on.
If the desired interior temperature can also be achieved without activating the
cooling system, fresh air mode should be selected.
The cooling system is switched off at a high coolant temperature in order to
provide cooling at a high load of the engine.
CAUTION
Lengthy 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.Note■ We recommend that you have the air conditioning system cleaned by a spe-
cialist garage once every year.■
During operation of the air conditioning, an increase in engine idle speed may
occur under certain circumstances in order to ensure sufficient heating com-
fort.

The Climatronic in automatic mode ensures the best-possible setting of the
temperature of the outflowing air, the blower stage and air distribution.
The system also takes sunlight into account, which eliminates the need to al-
ter the settings manually.
The cooling system operates only if the following conditions are met. The cooling system is switched on » page 110.
The engine is running.
The outside temperature is above approx. +2 °C.
The cooling system is switched off at a high coolant temperature in order to
provide cooling at a high load of the engine.
Aeration of the vehicle when ignition is switched off
On models fitted with power sliding/tilting roof with sollar cells, the fresh air
blower is automatically switched over to “solar mode” if the sun ray's are suffi- cient after switching off the ignition. The solar cells on the sliding/tilting roof
deliver power for the fresh air blower. This supplies the interior of the car with
fresh air.
For an optimum ventilation, the air outlet vents 2 and 3 must be
opened » Fig. 122 on page 108 .
The ventilation functions only when the sliding/tilting roof is fully closed.
Note■ We recommend that you have Climatronic cleaned by a specialist garage
once every year.■
During operation of the Climatronic, an increase in engine idle speed can oc-
cur under certain circumstances in order to ensure adequate heating comfort.
■
On vehicles equipped with a factory-fitted radio or radio navigation system,
the Climatronic information is also shown on their displays. This function can
be switched off, see » operating instructions for the radio or navigation sys-
tem .

WARNING■ “Stale air” may result in fatigue in the driver and occupants, reduce atten-
tion levels and also cause the windows to mist up. The risk of having an ac-
cident increases.■
Do not switch off the Climatronic system for longer than necessary.

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 
.
Switching on/offFig. 126
Button for switching on/off the system directly on the operating
part of the air conditioning/Climatronic
Read and observe
and on page 117 first.
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;
by using the radio remote control » page 118.
Manually switching off using the button on the operating part of the manual air conditioning/Cli-
matronic. The warning light in the button goes out » Fig. 126;
by using the radio remote control » page 118.
After switching off the auxiliary heating, the coolant pump runs for a short pe-
riod.
Automatic switching on/off
The following menu items can be selected from the Aux. heating menu item in
the information display » page 44 (depending on the vehicle equipment):
■ Day of the week - set the current day of the week;
■ Running time - Set the required running time in 5 minute increments. The
running time can be 10 to 60 minutes.
■ Mode - Set the desired heating/ventilation mode; 
