A Note Regarding Climate Controls
Audi climate controls are key memory sensitive. This means that the last key used to
operate the vehicle will determine the setting for the climate controls. In order to make
changes to environment control settings, the following procedure is necessary:
1) Remote start the vehicle.
2) Make your climate control adjustments, ensuring NOT to use the AUTO mode on
the control panel as this makes the Audi adjust its HVAC settings based on external
factors such as engine temperature.
3) When the adjustments are complete, turn off the vehicle starter, either by remote
or footbrake.
