2016 AUDI RS7 SPORTBACK air filter

Warm and cold 4-zone deluxe automatic
climate control
Description
A pplies to: ve hicles with four -zone auto matic clim ate con trol
The climate control system warms, cools and
adds humidity to the air in the vehicle interior. It
is the most effective when the windows and sun­
roof* are closed. If the temperature ins ide the
parked vehicle becomes very warm, opening the
window briefly will speed up the cooling process.
In a ll heating mode functions except
defrost, the
b lower only sw itches to a higher speed once the
engine coolant has reached a certain tempera­
ture.
Condensation from the cooling system can drip
and form a puddle of water under the veh icle.
This is normal and does not mean there is a leak.
Pollutant filt er
The po llutant filter removes pollutants such as
dust and pollen from the air.
The air poll utants filter must be changed a t the
intervals specified in you r Warranty
& Mainte­
nance booklet, so that the air conditioner can
properly work .
I f yo u drive you r vehicle in a n area with high air
pollu tion, the fil ter may need to be changed
more frequently than specified in your Audi War­
ranty & Maintenance booklet . If in doubt, ask
your author ized Audi Service Advisor for advice.
Key coded settings
The clima te con trol settings are autom atically
stored and assigned to the remo te control key
that is in use.
A WARNING

verter may not be available;
- fuel may have a considerably lower octane rat­

economy and reliability . For detailed vehicle
maintena nce consult your Warranty & Mainte­
nance booklet .
Under difficult operating conditions, for exam ­
ple at extremely low outside temperatures, in
very dusty regions, etc., some se rvice work
