Climate
control
system
Description
The climate control system warms, cools and
adds humidity to the air
in
the vehicle interior.
It
is
the
most effective when
the
windows
and
pow-
er top 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.
Condensation from
the
cooling system can drip
and form a puddle of water under the vehicle.
This
is
normal and does not mean there is a leak.
Pollutant filter
The pollutant filter
removes
pollutants such as
dust and pollen from the air.
The air pollutants filter must be changed at the
intervals specified in your Warranty & Mainte-
nance booklet, so that the air conditioner can
properly work.
If you drive your vehicle in an area with high air
pollution
,
the filter may need to be changed
more frequently than specified in your Audi War-
ranty &
Maintenance
booklet. If in doubt, ask
your authorized Audi Service Advisor for
advice.
Key coded settings
The climate control settings are automatically
stored and assigned to the remote control key
that
is
in use
.
These
settings are different when
the power top is open or closed.

WARNING
Reduced visibility is dangerous and can

Tips
-
Keep the air intake slots (in front of the
windshield) free from ice, snow and debris
in order
to
maintain the
proper
function of
the climate control system.
- The
energy management
system may switch
the seat heating* or
rear
window defroster
off temporarily. These systems are available
again as soon as the energy balance has
been restored.
-
Air escapes through vents under the
rear
window. When placing items of clothing on
the
luggage
compartment
cover, ensure
that the openings are not covered.
