Description
The climate control system warms, cools and
adds humidity to the air in the veh icle inter ior. It
is the most effective when the windows and sun -
roof are closed. If there is a build-up of heat in-
side the vehicle, ventilation can help to speed up
the 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 form a puddle of water under the veh icle.
This is normal and does not mean there is a leak.
Pollutant filt er
The pol lutant filte r removes pollutants such as
dust and pollen from the a ir.
The air pollutants filter must be changed at the
intervals specif ied in your Warranty & Mainte-
nance booklet, so that the a ir cond it ione r can
properly work.
If you drive your vehicle in an area with high air
pollut ion, the filter may need to be changed
more frequently than specified in your Audi War-
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 .
