Warm and cold

Warm and cold
Climate control system
Your vehicle has a deluxe automatic climate con-
trol system with four zones where the tempera-
ture, air distribution, and amount of air can be
adjusted separately at every seat.
The climate control system warms, cools, dehu-
midifies, and filters the air in the vehicle interior.
It is the most effective when the windows and
panoramic glass roof* are closed. If there is a
build-up of heat inside the vehicle, ventilation
can help to speed up the cooling process.
The deluxe climate control system automatically
maintains a temperature once it has been set. In
all heating mode functions except defrost, the
blower only switches to a higher speed once the
coolant has reached a certain temperature.
Pollutant filter
The pollutant filter removes pollutants such as
dust and pollen from the air.
@ For the sake of the environment
Energy can be saved by switching off the A/C
mode.
G) Tips
— To prevent interference with the heating or
cooling output and to prevent the windows
from fogging over, the air intake in front of
the windshield must be free of ice, snow,
and 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.

AUTO Automatic mode
The automatic mode regulates the amount of air
and air distribution automatically, so that the set
temperature is reached is quickly as possible.
REAR Rear climate control system
To enable operation of the climate control sys-
tem from the rear of the vehicle, press REAR.
To exit this mode again, press REAR or
REAR MODE EXIT.
SYNC Synchronization
When synchronization is switched on, the tem-
perature, air distribution, and blower strength on
the
driver's side is applied to all seat positions.
You can also control the synchronization directly
using a gesture. Pull two fingers together on the
lower display > page 15.
OFF Switching off
The climate control system is switched off. Air

trol system will switch off. If you press OFF in the
rear, the rear climate control system will switch
off. To switch the climate control system back on,
press on any button in the respective display.
A/C / ME 7 XE Cooling mode
The cooling mode only functions with the blower
turned on. The air is not cooled and humidity is
not reduced when cooling mode is switched off.
This can cause fog on the windows. The cooling
mode switches off automatically at low outside
temperatures.
If you activate the A/C, the cooling mode will be
automatically regulated.
If you activate “/, the cooling mode will run with
maximum cooling output and maximum blower
speed. To reduce unnecessary energy usage, only
use this function briefly.
If you activate “/f, the climate control system will
operate in energy-saving mode.
+ /- Temperature
Temperatures between 60 °F (+16 °C) and 84 °F
(+28 °C) can be set. If outside of this range,
LOW / LO or HIGH / HI will appear in the display.
In both settings, the climate control runs con-
stantly at the maximum cooling or heating level.
The temperature is not regulated.
S$ Blower
With / A, you can manually adjust the vol-
ume of air generated by the blower to your pref-
erences. The blower should always run at a low
setting
to prevent the windows from fogging and
to ensure a continuous exchange of air inside the
vehicle. To have the blower regulated automati-
cally, press AUTO.
2 Air distribution

scent. The fragrance is time-delayed, especially
at low or high temperatures. You can adjust the
fragrance function > page 87.

Z\ 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.
G) Tips
— 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 on

Hot motor components!
Rotating parts!

The radiator fan can switch on at any
time!

High voltage! The voltage in the high-
voltage system is high enough to cause
fatal injuries. Touching a damaged high-
voltage component can result in a fatal
electric shock.

— The coolant expansion tank cap is equipped
with a seal that must never be removed un-
der any circumstances > page 236. If the
coolant expansion tank is not sealed, con-
tact an authorized Audi dealer or authorized
Audi Service Facility.
— The cap on the coolant expansion tank must
never be opened when the coolant is hot.
The cooling system is under pressure.
—To protect your face, hands, and arms from
hot steam or coolant, cover the cap with a
thick cloth when opening.
— All work on the battery or electrical system
in your vehicle can result in injuries, chemi-
cal burns, accidents, or burns. Because of
this, all work must be performed only by an
authorized Audi dealer or authorized Audi
Service Facility.
— Limit your exposure to chemicals to as short
atime as possible.

Z\ WARNING
— Switch the ignition off.
— Set the parking brake.
— Select the “P” (Park) selector lever position.
— Keep children away from the motor com-
partment.
— Never spill operating fluids in the motor
compartment.
— Avoid short circuits in the electrical system.
— Never open the hood when there is steam or
coolant escaping from the motor compart-
ment, because there is a risk that you could
be burned. Wait until no steam or coolant is
escaping.
— The cap on the coolant expansion tank may
only be opened by an authorized Audi dealer

ZA WARNING
The voltage in the high-voltage system is high
enough to cause fatal injuries. Touching a
damaged high-voltage component can result
in a fatal electric shock. The components in
the high-voltage system are marked with a
warning label which warns of the high-volt-
age.
— The voltage level in the high-voltage system
is still dangerous and potentially life-threat-
ening when the ignition is switched off.
— Never perform work on orange high-voltage
cables or on high-voltage components. Only
authorized repair facilities that are certified
may perform work on the high-voltage sys-
tem.

or authorized Audi Service Facility.

the ignition off and allow the cooling system
to cool down. Always follow the information
found in > page 233, General information.
— Never open the hood if you can see or hear
steam or coolant escaping from the motor
compartment. This increases the risk of
burns. The cooling system is under pressure.
When you no longer see or hear steam or
coolant escaping, you may open the motor
compartment with caution.
— The coolant expansion tank may only be
opened and filled by an authorized Audi
dealer or authorized Audi Service Facility.
— The coolant expansion tank cap is equipped
with a seal that must never be removed un-
der any circumstances > page 236. If the
coolant expansion tank is not sealed, con-
tact an authorized Audi dealer or authorized
Audi Service Facility.
—When adding coolant, it may leak into the
inside of high-voltage components and
cause a short circuit, increasing the risk of
fire.
— Coolant additive and coolant can be danger-
ous to your health. For this reason, store the
coolant in the original container and away
from children. There is a risk of poisoning.
