Warm and cold Climate control system
Description
The climate control system* cools and removes
humidity from the air in the vehicle interior. It is
the most effect ive when the windows and power
top are closed. If there is a build-up of heat in­
side the vehicle, ventilation can help to speed up
the cooling process. Because of this, the windows
can be opened from outside.

ience opening/closing
Pollutant filter
The pollutant filter removes pollutants such as
dust and pollen from the air.
Key recognition
Different climate control system* settings are
stored and assigned to the remote control key
that is be ing used .
A WARNING
Poor visibility can lead to accidents.
- For safer driving, keep all windows free of
ice, snow and fog.
- Become familiar as quickly as possible with
the correct use and function of the climate
control system, especially with the defrost­
ing and defogging function.
- When the temperature is below freezing,
only use the windshield washer system after
the windshield has been warmed by the cli­
mate control system. The washer fluid could
Warm and cold
freeze on the windshield and impair visibili­
ty.
@ Note
- If you suspect that the climate contro l sys­
tem is damaged, switch the system off to
prevent further damage and have it checked
by an authorized Audi dealer or authorized
Audi Service Facility.
- Repairs to the Audi climate control system
require special technical knowledge and
special tools. See an authorized Audi dealer
or authorized Audi Service Fac ility.
@) For the sake of the environment
Reducing the amount of fuel used also re­
duces the amount of pollutants that enter the
air.
(D Tips
- To prevent interference with the heating
and cooling output and to prevent the win­
dows from fogging over, the air intake in
front of the windshield must be free of ice, snow or leaves.
- Condensation from the cooling system* can dr ip and form a pudd le of water under the
vehicle. This is normal and does not mean
there is a leak.
- The energy management system may switch
the seat heating* or rear window defroster
off temporarily . These systems are available
again as soon as the energy supply has been
restored.
- The flows through the vents under the rear
window. Make sure the openings are not
covered when placing clothing on the lug­
gage compartment cover.

i ng . Imprope r fuel may ca use engine damage;
- service may be inadequate due to lack of p roper
service facilities, tools or testing eq uipment;
- r eplacement parts may not be readily ava ilable.
- Navigation systems for veh icles built for the
U .S .A . and Canada will not necessa rily work in
E urope, and may not wo rk in other countries
