2020 AUDI R8 COUPE air filter

Warm and cold

Warm and cold
Climate control system
The climate control system warms, cools and re-
moves humidity from the air in the vehicle interi-
or. It functions most effectively when the win-
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 vehicle key being used.

ZA 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
windshield has been warmed by the cli-
mate control system. The washer fluid could
freeze on the windshield and impair visibili-
ty.
@) Note
— If you suspect that the climate control sys-
tem is damaged, switch the system off to
56
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. Have it inspected by an au-
thorized Audi dealership or a qualified elec-
tronics store.
(@) For the sake of the environment
Reducing the amount of fuel used also re-
duces the amount of pollutants that enter the
alr.
G) 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 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.
— The flows through the vents under the rear
window. Make sure the openings are not
covered when placing clothing on the lug-
gage compartment cover.

Warm and cold

— Switching manual recirculation mode on and
off: Press the > button.
— Automatic* recirculation mode: auto recircula-
tion needs to be activated in the Infotainment
system. Select in the Infotainment system:
[MENU] button > Vehicle > left control button >
Vehicle settings > Air conditioning > Auto re-
circulation. The air quality sensor that is de-
signed for diesel and gasoline exhaust auto-
matically switches the recirculation mode on or
off depending on the level of pollutants in the
outside air.

In recirculation mode, the air inside the vehicle is
circulated and filtered. This prevents the unfil-
tered air outside the vehicle from entering the
vehicle interior. Switching recirculation mode on
when driving through a tunnel or when sitting in
traffic is recommended > A.
Pressing the <> button, AUTO or the & button
switches recirculation mode off.
® Defrosting
The windshield and side windows are defrosted
or cleared of condensation as quickly as possible.
The optimum amount of air flows mainly out of
the vents under the windshield. Recirculation
mode switches off. The temperature is controlled
automatically.
The AUTO button switches the defroster off.
OFF climate control system
The climate control system is switched on and off
by pressing the button. It also switches on when
you press another button or a knob. Airflow from
outside is blocked when the climate control sys-
tem is switched off.
{s) Rear window defogger
If the rear window defogger is activated when
the ignition is switched on, the battery manage-
ment determines based on the battery charge if
it is possible to turn on. Otherwise, the rear win-
dow defogger functions with the engine running
and switches off automatically after approxi-
mately 10 - 20 minutes, depending on the out-
side temperature.
58
To prevent the rear window defogger from
switching
off automatically, press and hold the
® button for more than two seconds. This re-
mains stored up to approximately 15 minutes af-
ter turning off the ignition.
ss Seat heating*
If you press the button a the seat heating is
switched on at the highest level (3). The LEDs in-
dicate the temperature level. To reduce the tem-
perature, press the button again. To switch the
seat heating off, press the button repeatedly un-
til the LED turns off.
The seat heating switches automatically from
setting 3 to setting 2 after approximately ten mi-
nutes.

ZA WARNING
— You should not use the recirculation mode
for an extended period of time, because no
fresh air is drawn in and the windows can
fog when cooling mode is switched off. This
increases the risk of an accident.
— Individuals with reduced sensitivity to pain
or temperature could develop burns when
using the seat heating function. To reduce
the risk of injury, these individuals should
not use seat heating.

@) Note
To reduce the risk of damage to the seat heat-
ing elements, do not kneel on the seats or
place heavy pressure on one area of the seat.
(i) Tips
— The setting for the seat heating on the driv-
er's side is assigned to the key that is in use.
— If the front passenger's seat heating is
turned on, it will not turn on again automat-
ically if more than 10 minutes have passed
between switching the ignition off and
switching it on again.
