Warm And Cold; Climate Control System - Audi A7 2023 Owner's Manual

Warm and cold
Warm and cold
Climate control system
One of the following options may be available,
depending on vehicle equipment:
—A deluxe automatic climate control system with
three zones where the temperature, air distri-
bution, and air supply can be set separately on
the left and right front sides, and the tempera-
ture can be set separately in the rear
—A deluxe automatic climate control system with
four zones to individually adjust the tempera-
ture, air distribution, and amount of ventilation
at all of the seats
The climate control system warms, cools, dehu-
midifies, and filters the air in the vehicle interior.
It is the most effective when the windows and,
depending on vehicle equipment, the roof are
closed. If there is a build-up of heat inside the ve-
hicle, ventilation can help to speed up the cooling
process.
The deluxe climate control system automatically
maintains a temperature once it has been set. In
all heating mode functions except defrost, the
blower only switches to a higher speed once the
coolant has reached a certain temperature.
Active combination filter
When the fan is running, the filter will reduce
particulate matter and the concentration of pol-
len, as well as odors in the interior.
—To prevent interference with the heating or
cooling output and to prevent the windows
from fogging over, the air intake in front of
the windshield must be free of ice, snow,
and leaves.
— Condensation from the cooling system can
drip and form a puddle of water under the
vehicle. This is normal and does not mean
there isa leak.
—The energy management system may tem-
porarily switch off certain functions, such as
the seat heating or rear window defogger.
8B
These systems are available again as soon
as the energy supply has been restored.
