Pollutant filter
A pollutant filter cleans the air in the vehicle inte-
rior when the blower is switched on.
A schematic display represents the effectiveness
of the filter. The display visualizes the amount of
pollutant particles in the vehicle interior in com-
parison to the surroundings.
G) Tips
For optimal air quality in the vehicle interior,
close all windows and doors and activate A/C
cooling mode, the AUTO function, and recircu-
lation mode.
Auxiliary climate control
Applies to: vehicles with auxiliary climate control
The auxiliary climate control switches on depend-
ing on the outside temperature and the tempera-
ture set in the climate control system. You can
switch the climate control on or off immediately
as well as set a timer in the MMI.
Requirement: the charge level of the high-volt-
age battery must be sufficient.
G) Tips
— The temperature that the auxiliary climate
control adjusts to depends on the last tem-
perature that was set.
— Using the auxiliary climate control while
charging can also reduce the charge level of
the high-voltage battery.
— Starting or stopping the vehicle will not
switch off the auxiliary climate control auto-
matically.
Applies to: vehicles with auxiliary climate control
Select on the home screen: VEHICLE > Air condi-
tioning > F
Immediate start
You can immediately switch the auxiliary climate
control on and off using the F button. When this

High-voltage system

Charging at household and industrial sockets
or at public charging stations with
alternating current (AC)
The vehicle's high-voltage battery can be charged
with alternating current (AC) via the charging
port (5). Depending on the vehicle equipment,
there may be a second charging port ©) on the
opposite side of the vehicle. Both charging ports
have the same charging power. You can use
whichever charging port is more convenient for
your charging setup. When using one charging
port, the opposite charging port is locked.
Quick charging at public direct current (DC)
charging stations
The vehicle’s high-voltage battery can be charged
at a direct current (DC) charging station via the
charging port on the driver's side (). There is a
significant decrease in charging time. The charg-
ing cable being used may be a maximum of 30 m.
Charging time
The duration of the charging process may vary
based on the following factors:
— Sockets being used (household or industrial
sockets)
— Country-specific system voltage, current
strength and number of available phases
— Household connection
— The value set for the charging power level on
the Audi charging system control unit
— Fluctuations in the system voltage
— The temperature outside the vehicle
— The temperature of the high-voltage battery
and the Audi charging system control unit.
— Settings for the climate control inside the vehi-
cle
— Current capacity of the charging connector
— Whether the ignition is on or off
ec e laa eed
ZA\ WARNING
Short circuiting, electric shock, explosions,
fire and severe burns can result from not
charging the battery correctly (for example,
disregarding general safety precautions, using

unsuitable or damaged sockets and charging
cables, and charging at an unsuitable electri-
cal equipment) and can lead to serious and fa-
tal injuries.
— Only charge at sockets that are installed cor-
rectly, that are tested and that are not dam-
aged, or at electrical equipment that is func-
tioning correctly.
— Never use damaged and/or dirty charging
equipment. Check the charging equipment
for damage before every use.
— Never modify or repair any electrical compo-
nents, especially the high-voltage system.
— Never charge in areas at risk for explosions.
The components in the charging equipment
can trigger sparks, which can cause flamma-
ble or explosive fumes to ignite. To reduce
the risk of explosions, especially in garages,
make sure the Audi e-tron charging system
control unit is at least 19 inches (50 cm)
above the floor when charging.
— Never use the charging equipment with an
extension cord, a cable reel, a power strip,
or an adapter, for example, a travel adapter
or timer.
— Do not touch the contacts on the vehicle
charging port or charging equipment.
— Do not insert any objects in the vehicle
charging port or in the charging equipment.
— Always protect the sockets and connections
from water, moisture and other fluids.
— Never charge with both vehicle charging
ports at the same time.
— Only use the charging equipment provided
by the factory or the charging station cable.



Z\ WARNING
Applies to: Audi charging systems
Sockets that are installed incorrectly can
cause electric shock or fire when charging the
high-voltage battery using the vehicle charg-
ing connection.
— Read all information and safety precautions
for Audi charging systems before using
them.
— Monitor the Audi charging system if it is be-
ing used near children.

Starting to charge automatically (immediate
charging)
If charging is not delayed with a timer, the charg-
ing process will begin immediately. If necessary,
the charging station may need to be activated.
Follow the manufacturer guidelines and operat-
ing instructions for the charging station.
You can also adjust the charging process to your
preferences > page 110, Setting the charging
target, > page 111, Setting the timer,
=> page 111, Advanced charging settings.

ing, drive immediately to an authorized Audi
dealer or authorized Audi Service Facility
and have the malfunction corrected to re-
duce the risk of injury.


ZA WARNING
— When closing the cover on the charging
unit, make sure the area where the cover is
closing is clear to reduce the risk of injury.
— Do not disconnect the charging cable from
the socket or the vehicle charging port while
the vehicle is charging. End the charging
process before removing the charging cable
from the socket in order to reduce the risk of
damaging the connector contacts from
sparks.
— Never drive with the charging unit open. If
the cover on the charging unit is open, it
could hit other road users and potentially
cause injury.
— If a charging unit is damaged, the vehicle
must not be charged at the damaged charg-
ing port or at the charging port on the other
side* to reduce the risk of injury.
— If the charging unit is damaged or the
charging unit cover cannot close or is miss-

@) Note
— If you drive with an open charging unit, both
the cover and the electronics installed be-
hind it could be damaged. Check before ev-
ery drive after charging if the cover is
locked.
— Applies to: vehicles with charging ports on
the driver and front passenger’s side: Never
attempt to charge the vehicle using both
charging ports at the same time, because
this could damage the charging infrastruc-
ture.
(i) Tips
— Applies to: MMI: in addition to other set-
tings, you can also select if the charging
connector should be released automatically
after the immediate charging process is
complete. To do this, select on the home
screen: VEHICLE > Charging & Efficiency >
Charging > <3 > DC connector: unlock after
charging ends.
— The parking brake may make noises when
connecting the charging connector.
— Remove ice and snow in the charging unit
using a hand brush and solvent-free deicing
spray.
— The vehicle radio and TV systems may have
limited reception when charging the vehicle.
Charging display
The charging display is an LED light on the charg-
ing unit and shows the charging status. A label
on the charging unit @) > page 108, fig. 90 in-
forms you about the various displays. The key for
the LED light is explained in the following table.

Setting the charging target
You can set the charging target, meaning you can
set the maximum charge level to which the high-
voltage battery should be charged. The charging
target can be set between 50% and 100%. For
daily usage, Audi recommends setting the charg-
ing target at 80%. This can extend the service life
of the high-voltage battery. Before long trips, Au-
di recommends setting the charging target at
100% for the highest possible range.

> Set the desired charging target.
G) Tips
If you set the charging target lower than the
current battery charge level while charging,
then the charging process will be canceled. If
you set the charging target above the current
battery charge level again, then the charging
process will resume. This does not apply if you
are charging at a charging station, where you
have authenticated yourself manually. If this >

is the case, authenticate yourself again at the
charging station.
Sytem nas
By setting a timer, you determine when your vehi-
cle should reach the desired charging target.
When the timer is activated, it will be run regu-
larly at the set time. In addition to the charging
target, you can also specify if your vehicle should
be heated or cooled to the temperature set in the
climate control system. You can turn on multiple
timers at the same time. The active timer is indi-
cated by the respective number in © in the upper
section of the display.
