Climate control system
Description
The climate control system warms, cools and re-
moves humidity from the air in the vehicle interi-
or. It is the most effective when the windows and
sunroof* are closed. If there is a build-up of heat
inside the vehicle, ventilation can help to speed
up the cooling process.
In all heating mode functions, except for defrost,
the blower on ly switches to a higher speed once
the engine coolant has reached a sufficient tem-
perature .
Pollutant filter
The pollutant filter removes pollutants such as
dust and pollen from the air.

A WARNING
Poor visibility can lead to accidents.
- For safer driving, keep all windows free of
ice, snow and fog .
- Become familia r as quickly as possible with
the correct use and function of the climate
contro l system, especially with the defrost-
ing and defogging function.
- When the temperature is below freezing,
only use the windshield washer system after
Warm and cold
the windshield 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
prevent further damage and have it checked
by an authorized Audi dealer or authorized
Aud i Service Facility.
- Repairs to the Audi climate control system
require special technical knowledge and
special tools . See an authorized Aud i dealer
or authorized Audi Service Facility.
@ For the sake of the environment
- To save fuel, turn off cooling mode by press-
ing the IAJCI button . This will also reduce
em iss ions.
- In vehicles with a diesel engine, you can
switch the auto supplementary heater off in
the Infotai nment system.
(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
front of the windshie ld must be free of ice,
snow or leaves.
- Condensation from the cooling system can
dr ip and form a pudd le 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 avai lable aga in as soon
as the energy supply has been restored.
