Warm and cold
Warm and cold Climate control system
Description
The climate control system circulates, warms or
cools, and removes humid ity from the air in the
veh icle inter ior .
It is the most effective when the
windows and panorama glass roof* or power top*
are closed. If there is a build-up of heat inside
the vehicle, ventilation can help to speed up the
cooling process.
Pollutant filter
The pollutant filter removes pollutants such as
dust and pollen from the a ir.
Key recognition
Various settings are stored and assigned to the
remote control key be ing used .
These settings are different when the power top* is open or closed .
Presetting
Several functions can be preset in the Infotain
ment system.
Select in the Infotainment system:

A WARNING
Poor visibility can lead to accidents .
- For safer driving, keep all windows free of
ice, snow and fog.
- Become familiar with the correct use and
function of the climate control system as
quickly as possible, especially with the de
frosting and defogging functions.
- When the temperature is below freezing, only use the windshield washer system after
70
the windshield has been warmed by the cli
mate control system. The washer fluid could
freeze on the windshield and impair visibili
ty .
Cl) 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
Audi Service Facility.
- Repairs to the Audi climate control system
require special technical knowledge and
special tools . See an authorized Aud i dealer
or authorized Aud i Service Facility .
@ For the sake of the environment
-To save fuel, turn off the climate control
system cooling mode by press ing the A/C
button. This will also reduce emissions . The
climate control system is off when the LED
in the button turns off.
- In vehicl es w ith the efficiency prog ram*,
you can find other consumption information
and more economy tips <=? page 19.
(D Tips
- T o prevent interference with the heating
and cooling output and to prevent the win
dows from fogging over, the a ir intake in
front of the windshie ld must be free of ice,
snow or leaves.
- Condensation from the cooling system* can
drip and form a pudd le of water under the
vehicle. This is norma l and does not mean
there is a leak.
- The energy management system may tem
porarily switch off certain functions, such as
the seat heating* or rear window defogger.
These systems are available again as soon
as the energy supply has been restored.

-If you do not switch the engine off when fu
eling and/or do not insert the fuel nozzle
completely into the tank open ing, fuel can
leak out or run over . Leaked fuel ca n ign ite

- un leaded fue ls for vehicles with catalytic con
verter may not be available;
- fuel may have a considerably lower octane rat
ing . Improper fuel may cause engine damage;
- service may be inadequate due to lack of proper
service facilities, tools or testing equipment;
- r eplacement parts may not be readily available.
- Nav igation systems for veh icles built for the
U.S .A . and Canada will not necessarily work in

Under difficult operating conditions, for exam
ple at extremely low outside temperatures, in
very dusty regions, when towing a trailer very fre
quently, etc., some service work should be per
formed between the intervals specified. This ap
plies particularly to:
- oil changes, and
- cleaning or replac ing the a ir filter .
