Warm and cold
Climate control system
Description
The climate control system warms , cools and
adds humidity to the a ir in the veh icle inter ior. It
is the most effective when the windows and pan-
oramic sliding sunroof* ar e closed. If th ere is a
bui ld-up of heat inside th e vehicle, ventilation
can help to sp eed up th e cooling process.
In all heating mode functions except
defrost, the
blower only switches to a higher speed once the
engine coolant has reached a certain tempera-
ture .
Condensat ion from the cooling system can drip
and fo rm a puddle of water unde r the vehicle.
This is normal and does not mean there is a leak.
Pollut ant filter
The pollutant filter removes pollutants such as
dust and pollen from the air.
The air pollutants filter must be changed at the
intervals specified in your Warranty
& Mainte-
nance booklet, so that the a ir condit ione r can
properly work.
If you drive your vehicle in an area with high air
pollution , the filter may need to be changed
mo re frequently than specified in your Audi Wa r-
ranty & Maintenance booklet. If in doubt, ask
your author ized Audi Service Advisor for advice .
Key coded setting s
The climate control settings are automatically
stored and assigned to the remote control key
that is in use .
