Pollutant filter
The pollutant filter (particle filter) ensures
that contaminants in the outside air (such as
dust or po llen) are greatly reduced or stop-
ped. The air is also filtered in recirculation
mode.
The po llutant filter element must be changed
according to the intervals specified in the
maintenance schedule so that the air condi-
tioning system's performance is not adversely
affected .
If the filter's effectiveness is weakened by
driving the vehicle in areas with heavily pollut-
ed outside air, the filter element should also
be changed in between the listed services.
A WARNING
For safety reasons, it is important that all
windows are free of ice, snow, and conden-
sation. Only then is good visib ility ensured.
Please familiarize yourse lf w ith the correct
operation of the air conditioning and how
to de hu midify/defrost the windows .

spected by an authorized Audi dealer .

(D Tips
- To avoid adversely affecting heating and
cooling performance and to prevent con-
densation on the windows, the air intake
in front of the windshield must be free of
ice, snow, and leaves.
- The air com ing from the vents and circu-
lat ing through the entire interior is ex-
tracted through the out let s lots in the
side pane ls in the luggage compartment.
Make sure that the outlet slots are not
covered by clothing, etc.
- Climate control works most effectively if
the windows are closed. However, if the
inter ior of a parked vehicle is ext reme ly
hot from the sun's rays, briefly opening
th e windows can speed up th e cooling
process.
