have been damaged, switch the system
off to avoid damaging it, and have it in-
spected by an authorized Audi dealer.
- Audi climate control system repairs re-
quire special expertise and the proper
tools. Vou should contact an authorized
Audi dealer in the event of malfunctions.
To set a lower temperature, turn the rotary
knob to the left. To set a higher temperature,
turn the rotary knob to the right. There are
additional intermediate settings available to
adjust the temperature as needed.

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 coming from the vents and circu-
lating through the entire interior is ex-
tracted throug h the outlet slots in the
side panels 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
interior of a parked vehicle is extremely
hot from the sun's rays, briefly opening
the windows can speed up the cooling
process.

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.

WARNING
For safety reasons, it is important that all
windows are free of ice, snow, and conden-
sation. Only then is good visibility ensured.
Please familiarize yourself with the correct
operation of the air conditioning and how
to dehumidify/defrost the windows.
The pollutant filter element must be changed
according to the intervals specified in the
maintenance schedule
50
that the air condi-
tioning system's performance is not adversely
affected.
Pollutant filter
The pollutant filter (particle filter) ensures
that contaminants in the outside air (such as
dust or pollen) are greatly reduced or stop-
ped. The air is also filtered in recirculation
mode.
---
The LED in the buttons illuminates when the
function is active.
In cooling mode, relative humidity in the inte-
rior is reduced. This prevents the windows
from fogging up.
Please note:
When relative humidity and temperatures
outside are high, condensate can drip from
the air conditioning evaporator and form a
pool ofwater under the vehicle. This is normal
and not an indicati0A-of a leak!
When outside
temperat~res
are low, the fan
does not switch to a higher speed until the
coolant has reached an adequate tempera-
ture, with the exception of the defrost set-
ting.
When accelerating at wide-open throttle, the
air conditioning compressor is temporarily
switched off to maintain full engine power.
In order to ensure engine cooling under ex-
treme engine loads, the compressor is switch·
ed off if coolant temperatures climb too high.
Functions are set by turning the rotary knob
or switched on and off by tapping the buttons.

Climate controls
Using the previously recommended setting is
the quickest way to achieve a comfortable cli-
mate in the vehicle. This setting should there-
fore only be changed when personal comfort
levels or certain circumstances require it.
The climate controls are a combination of au-
tomatic heating and ventilation systems and a
cooling system which dehumidifies and cools
the air inside the vehicle.
The climate controls automatically maintain a
temperature once it has been set. The tem-
perature ofthe airfrom the vents, fan speed
(air volume) and air distribution are also auto-
matically adjusted. The system also takes into
account strong sunshine

that manual ad-
justment is not necessary. 50 in almost all
cases, automatic mode offers the best condi-
tions for the comfort of the occupants at all
times ofthe year
