Audi Q5 Owners & Service Manuals

Audi Q5: 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 panoramic sliding sunroof are closed. If there is a build-up of heat inside 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 temperature.

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 & Maintenance 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 Warranty & 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.

WARNING

Reduced visibility is dangerous and can cause accidents.

  • For safe driving it is very important that all windows be free of ice, snow and condensation.
  • Completely familiarize yourself with the proper use and function of the heating and ventilation system and especially how to defog and defrost the windows.
  • Never use the windshield wiper/washer system in freezing weather until you have warmed the windshield first, using the heating and ventilation system. The washer solution may freeze on the windshield and reduce visibility.

Note

  • If you suspect that the air conditioner has been damaged, switch the system off to avoid further damage and have it inspected by a qualified dealership.
  • Repairs to the Audi air conditioner require special technical knowledge and special tools. Contact an authorized Audi dealer for assistance.

For the sake of the environment

By reducing the amount of fuel you use, you also reduce the amount of pollutants emitted into the air.

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.
  • The air flowing out of the vents and throughout the vehicle's entire interior is discharged at the rear of the vehicle. Make sure that the outlet slots are not covered by clothing, etc.
