Warm and cold
Climate controls
Description
The climate control system warms, cools and
adds humidity to the a ir in the veh icle inter ior.
It is the most effect ive when the windows and
sunroof* a re closed. If the temperature inside
the parked vehicle becomes very warm, open-
ing the window briefly will speed up the cool-
ing process.
In all heating mode functions except
defrost,
the blower on ly switches to a higher speed
once the engine coolant has reached a certain
temperature.
Condensation from the cooling system can
drip and form a puddle of water under the ve-
hicle. This is normal and does not mean there
is a leak.
Pollutant filter
The po llutant filte r removes po llutants s uch
as dust and pollen from the air.
The air pollutants filte r must be changed at
t he intervals spec ified in you r Wa rra nty

tioner can properly work.

& Maintenance booklet. If
in doubt, ask your authorized Audi Service Ad-
