Audi A7 Sportback  Setting off  Heating and cooling  Air conditioner
Applies to: vehicles with deluxe automatic air conditioner
We recommend pressing the AUTO button and setting the temperature to 22 °C (72 °F).
The functions can be switched on and off by pressing the buttons. The rotary controls are used to adjust the temperature and blower speed. The LED in the corresponding button lights up when the function is switched on.
AUTO Switching automatic mode on
The automatic mode maintains a constant temperature inside the vehicle. Air temperature, output and distribution are regulated automatically.
Selecting the temperature
You can set separate temperatures for the driver's and front passenger's sides using controls -1- and -3-.
Adjusting the blower speed
You can adjust the blower speed manually using control -2-. Press the AUTO button for automatic control of the blower speed.
, , Adjusting the air distribution
You can direct the flow of air manually to selected outlets. Press the AUTO button for automatic air distribution.
Switching air recirculation on/off
In air recirculation mode, the air from the interior of the vehicle is filtered and recirculated. This setting prevents fumes etc. from entering the interior. We recommend switching on the air recirculation mode when driving through a tunnel or in traffic queues WARNING!.
The air recirculation mode is switched off when the AUTO or FRONT button is pressed.
OFF Switching the air conditioner on/off
The OFF button is used to switch the air conditioner on and off. The air conditioner will also switch on if you press the blower control. When the air conditioner is switched off, the supply of air from outside the car is cut off.
A/C Switching air cooling on/off
When the air cooling is switched off, the air is neither cooled nor dehumidified. The windows may mist up as a result. The air cooling is switched off automatically at low outside temperatures.
FRONT Switching the defroster on/off
The windscreen and side windows are defrosted or demisted as quickly as possible. The air output is increased to maximum and most of the air comes out of the outlets below the windscreen. The air recirculation mode is deactivated. The temperature should be set to approx. 22 °C.
The defroster is switched off when the AUTO button is pressed.
REAR Switching the rear window heating on/off
The rear window heating operates only when the engine is running and switches off automatically after a few minutes, depending on the outside temperature.
To switch on the rear window heating permanently, press and hold the REAR button for at least two seconds. It will then remain on until the ignition is switched off.
Adjusting the seat heating*
When you press the button, the seat heating is switched on at level 3 (the highest level). The LEDs indicate the temperature level. To reduce the temperature, press the button again. To switch off the seat heating, press the button repeatedly until all the LEDs have gone out.
The seat heating automatically switches from level 3 to level 2 after 10 minutes.
Air outlets
The thumbwheels can be used to open and close the air outlets in the centre and on either side of the dashboard and rear centre console. The lever in the centre of the outlets can be used to adjust the direction of air flow.
WARNING!
  • For reasons of safety you should not leave the air recirculation switched on for too long. This mode prevents fresh air from entering the vehicle, so the windows can mist over if the air cooling is switched off. Bad visibility can cause an accident.
  • People with limited capacity to feel pain or sense temperature could burn themselves when using the seat heating. These people must not use the seat heating - risk of burns!
Caution!
To avoid damaging the heating elements of the seat heating, please do not kneel on the seat or apply sharp pressure at a single point.
