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 functions most effectively when the w in
dows are closed. If there is a build-up of heat in
side 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 air.
Key recognition
Certain settings are automatically stored and as
signed to the remote contro l key being 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 windsh ield 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
Warm and cold
prevent further damage and have it checked
by an authorized Audi dea ler or authorized
Audi Service Facility.
- Repairs to the Audi climate control system
require special technical know ledge and
special tools. See an authorized Audi dealer
or authorized Audi Service Facility.
(® 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
drip and form a puddle 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 availab le
aga in as soon as the energy supp ly has been
restored.
- The flows through the vents under the rear
w indow . Make s ure the openings are not
covered when plac ing clothing on the lug
gage compartment cover .

circulation .
The air quality sensor that is de
signed for diese l and gasoline exhaust auto
matically switches the recirculation mode on or
off depend ing on the level of pollutants in the
outside air .
In recircu lation mode, the air inside the vehicle is
circu lated and filtered . This prevents the unfil
tered air outside the vehicle from entering the
vehicle interio r. We recommend switching recir
culation mode on when dr iv ing through a tunnel

I @ REAR I Switching the rear window defogger
on and off
If the rear w indow defogger is activated when
the ignition is switched on, the battery manage

it is possib le to turn on. Otherwise, the rear win
dow defogger functions with the engine running
and switches off automatically after approxi
mately 10 -20 min utes, depending on the out
side temperature.
To prevent t he rear w indow defogger from
switching off automatically, press and hold the
