Warm and cold
Climate control system
Description
Depending on the vehicle equipment, different
systems could be installed:
- manual climate control system or
- automatic climate control system"
The climate control system circu lates, warms or
cools, and removes humidity from the air in the
vehicle interior. It is the most effective when the windows and panorama glass roof" are closed. If
there is a build-up of heat inside the vehicle, ven
tilation can help to speed up the cooling process .
Pollutant filt er
The pollutant filter removes pollutants such as
dust and pollen from the air.
Key rec ogn ition *
The automatic climate cont ro l system* settings
are stored and assigned to the remote control
key that is in use.
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 poss ible, espec ially with the de
frosting and defogging functions.
- 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
Warm and c old
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 Aud i dealer or authorized
Audi Service Facility.
- Repairs to the Audi climate control system
require special technical knowledge and
special tools. See an authorized Audi dea ler
or authorized Aud i Service Fac ility.
@) For the sake of the environment
- To save fuel, turn off the climate control
system cooling mode by pressing the A/C
button. This will also reduce emissions . The
cl imate control system is off when the LED
in the button turns off.
- In vehicles w ith the efficiency program*,
you can find other consumptio n information
and more economy tips
¢ page 20.
(D Tips
- To prevent interference with the heat ing
and cooling output and to prevent the win
dows from fogging over, the air intake in
fro nt of the windshie ld must be free of ice
,
snow or leaves.
- Condensation from the cooling system* can
dr ip and fo rm 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, s uch as
the seat heating* or rear window defogger .
These systems are avai lable aga in as soon
as the energy supply has been restored.

Operating your vehicle
outside the U.S.A. or
Canada
Government regulati ons in the United States and
Canada require that automobi les meet specific
emission regulations and safety standards.
Therefore, vehicles built for the U.S.A. and Cana

If you plan to take your vehicle outside the conti
nenta l limits of the United States or Canada,
there is the poss ibility that:
- 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
Europe, and may not work in other countries
outside of North America.
