Audi A6 Typ 4G: Climate control system
Description
The climate control system warms, cools and removes humidity from the air in the vehicle interior.
It is the most effective when the windows and 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 for defrost, the blower only switches to a higher speed once the engine coolant has reached a sufficient temperature.
Pollutant filter
The pollutant filter removes pollutants such as dust and pollen from the air.
Key recognition

WARNING
Poor visibility can lead to accidents.
- For safer driving, keep all windows free of ice, snow and fog.
- Become familiar as quickly as possible with the correct use and function of the climate control system, especially with the defrosting and defogging function.
- When the temperature is below freezing, only use the windshield washer system after the windshield has been warmed by the climate control system. The washer fluid could freeze on the windshield and impair visibility.
Note
- If you suspect that the climate control system is damaged, switch the system off to prevent further damage and have it checked by an authorized Audi dealer or authorized Audi Service Facility.
- Repairs to the Audi climate control system require special technical knowledge and special tools. See an authorized Audi dealer or authorized Audi Service Facility.
For the sake of the environment
- To save fuel, turn off cooling mode by pressing the [A/C] button. This will also reduce emissions.
- In vehicles with a diesel engine, you can switch the auto supplementary heater off in the Infotainment system.
Tips
- To prevent interference with the heating and cooling output and to prevent the windows from fogging over, the air intake in front of the windshield must be free of ice, snow or 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 is a leak.
- The energy management system may temporarily
switch off certain functions, such as
the seat heating or rear window defogger.
These systems are available again as soon as the energy supply has been restored.
