If the cooling function is activated, simply turn the air volume control knob in the direction of decreasing air volume to turn off the air conditioning. If the AC button light is still on at this time, you can press the AC button to turn off the air conditioning. If the heating function is activated, simply turn the air volume control knob to turn off the air conditioning.

I'm quite familiar with turning off the AC in Audi cars—it usually takes just two steps: locate the button or knob with the AC icon, then press OFF or turn it to the lowest temperature setting. The common position is in the center console, near the bottom of the multimedia screen. If your car has automatic climate control, first unlock manual mode—it's simple: hold the fan speed decrease button for a few seconds to switch to manual, then easily turn it off. Turning off the AC isn't just convenient; it can save fuel and extend range during critical moments, especially in traffic jams. Plus, prolonged AC use can cause frost buildup or mold in the ducts—switching it off and opening windows for airflow helps reduce odors. Remember, making it a habit to turn it off during daily drives can extend the compressor's lifespan.
