Press the middle fan speed button (the '-' button) on the air conditioning panel. Keep pressing until the fan speed reaches 'O', and the air conditioning system will turn off. Press the ECON button on the air conditioning panel to light up the button's indicator. This will turn off the air conditioning cold air system, allowing only natural air or warm air to be used. Rotate the fan speed switch to the minimum position. When the system turns off and the ECON light is on, the air conditioning cold air system will be turned off.
After starting the car, I usually press the AC button with the snowflake icon on the center console to activate the compressor, then turn the left temperature knob toward the blue direction to lower the temperature. At this point, the air conditioning will automatically start cooling, and the fan speed will adjust automatically based on the cabin temperature. If it doesn't feel cool enough, you can manually increase the fan speed or press the medium fan speed increase button. If the car is particularly hot when first getting in, I prefer to open the windows for ventilation for a few dozen seconds before closing them and turning on the AC, as this cools the car down faster. Remember to press the recirculation button to prevent hot outside air from entering, which improves cooling efficiency. Once the temperature drops, you can switch to fresh air mode to maintain air circulation. Audi's automatic climate control system is quite intelligent—once you set the temperature, you don't need to worry about it anymore.
Operating the air conditioning in an Audi A4L is quite intuitive. Press the AC button with the blue snowflake icon on the center console to activate the compressor, which is key for cooling. Then, turn the temperature knob on the driver's side—I usually set it around 22 degrees, as this feels most comfortable. For the first few minutes, let the system automatically control the fan speed, but if you're in a hurry, manually adjust it to the maximum setting for about three to five minutes. I always check the temperature setting on the air conditioning panel screen to ensure it's correctly adjusted. When using the cooling function, it's best to adjust the vents to blow toward your upper body, as cold air tends to sink more noticeably. If parked under the sun in summer, a sunshade is very effective. Don’t forget to regularly inspect the cabin air filter, as a clogged one can reduce cooling efficiency.
The key to turning on the cold air is activating the AC cooling function. Press the blue snowflake button on the center console, rotate the left temperature knob to lower the temperature, and turn on the recirculation mode. You can manually adjust the fan speed button to accelerate cooling. Remember to set the air conditioning to face mode for the best effect.
