\.J ' Warm and cold Climate control system
Description
The climate control system warms, cools and re­
moves humidity from the air in the vehicle interi­
or. It is the most effective when the w indows and
sunroof* are closed. If there is a build-up of heat
inside the vehicle, ventilation can help to speed
up the cooling process.
I n all heating mode functions, except for defrost,
the blower on ly switches to a higher speed once
the engine coolant has reached a sufficient tem­
perature .
Pollutant filter
The pollutant filter removes pollutants such as
dust and pollen from the air.
Key recognition
Appl ies to: ve hicles with de luxe a utoma tic clima te co ntro l

automatically and assigned to the remote control
key that you are using.

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
contro l system, especially with the defrost­
ing and defogging function.
- When the temperature is below freezing,
only use the windshield washer system after
Warm and cold
the windshield has been warmed by the cli­
mate control system. The washer fluid could
freeze on the windshield and impair visibili­ ty .
(D Note
-If you suspect that the climate control sys­
tem is damaged, switch the system off to
prevent further damage and have it checked
by an authorized Audi dealer or authorized

and cooling output and to prevent the win­
dows from fogging over, the air intake in
front of the windshie ld must be free of ice,
snow or leaves.

dr ip and form a puddle of water under the
vehicle. This is normal and does not mean
there is a leak.

porarily switch off certain functions, such as
the seat heating* or rear window defogger .
