Heater/AC

Design and function

The air conditioner represents a further devel-
opment of the two-zone air conditioning
concept previously used in the A6.
Operating and display unit E87.
Innovations include:
– Individual temperature control for both
driver and front passenger
– Option of synchronising the temperature
zones for driver and front passenger by
pressing the "Auto" button for approx.
three seconds.
Example:
If the same temperature is desired for the
passenger's side as for the driver's side,
the "Auto" button should be pressed for at
least three seconds.
The same applies the other way round, for
making the driver's side temperature the
same as that of the passenger's side.
– The fault diagnosis and measured value
blocks for the seat heating system are read
out via address word 08 for the air condi-
tioner.
– The system is encoded automatically via
the dash panel insert.

The redesigned system is based on the
performance data for top of the medium
range vehicles, taking account of low system
weight and energy consumption as well as, to
an increasing extent, recycling capability.

– Integrated rotary control knob with poten-
tiometer for seat heating.
(this means the potentiometers cannot be
replaced individually)
– Intake blower V42 for passenger compart-
ment temperature sensor G56 is integrated
and cannot be replaced individually.
A distinction is made between eight different
versions, identified by means of the part
number index:
– with or without seat heating
– with or without navigation system,
– at a later date, with or without air quality
sensor.
The operating and display unit E87 is
connected to the convenience CAN bus.
Diagnosis takes place via the K-wire.
