Pollutant filter
The pollutant filter (particle filter) ensures that
contaminants in the outside air (such as dust or
pollen) are great ly reduced or stopped. The air is
also filtered i n recirculation mode.
The pollutant filter e lement must be changed ac­
cording to the intervals spec ified in the mainte­
nance schedu le so that the a ir cond ition ing sys­
tem's performance is not adversely affected.
If the f ilter's effect iveness is weakened by driving
the vehicle in areas with heavily polluted outside
air, the filter eleme nt should also be changed be­
tween the listed serv ices .
A WARNING
For safety reasons, it is impo rtant that all
w indows are free o f ice, snow, and conde nsa­
ti on. Only then is good visib ility ensured.
P lease fam iliarize yourse lf with the co rrec t
operation of the air conditioning an d how to
dehumidify/defrost the windows.

- Audi cl imate control system repairs requ ire
special expe rtise and the p roper tools . You
should contact an authorized A udi dealer in
the event of ma lf u nctions.
(D Tips
- To avoid adve rsely affecting heati ng and
cooling pe rformance and to prevent con­
densation on the w indows , the air intake in
front of the windshield must be free of ice,
snow , and leaves.
- Climate contro l works most effectively if the
windows are closed. However, if the interior
of a parked vehicle is extremely hot from
t h e su n's rays, br iefly opening the windows
can speed up the coo ling p rocess.
Setting temperature
