How to Turn on the Heater in an Audi Car?
2 Answers
Audi's heater control switch is located on the car's central console. After starting the car, wait approximately 8-15 minutes for the water temperature to reach normal levels before turning on the heater. Press the AUTO button, rotate the temperature control knob to the red zone, and turn off the AC to activate the heater. Tips for using the car heater: 1. Set a reasonable airflow direction: Since hot air rises, adjust the airflow direction to blow towards the feet during winter for optimal heating. If the heater is used for an extended period, the air inside the car may become dry; opening the windows occasionally can help maintain air freshness. 2. Set a reasonable temperature: Avoid setting the temperature too high, as this can accelerate drying inside the car. Although the interior temperature rises, the significant difference between indoor and outdoor temperatures can easily cause discomfort or colds, especially for drivers with weaker immune systems.
After starting the car, I found that the Audi's heating system is quite straightforward: first, ignite the engine and let it warm up for about a minute to allow the coolant temperature to rise, ensuring the air from the vents is sufficiently warm. Then, turn the temperature knob on the dashboard towards the red or higher number direction, for example, setting it above 23 degrees, and the system will automatically blow warm air. Audi's automatic air conditioning is very intelligent and doesn't require additional buttons; if AUTO isn't activated at startup, simply press the AUTO button to let it take over. For airflow, increasing the fan speed with the fan button makes it warmer, but I recommend not directing it straight at your face to avoid dryness. During winter driving, use the recirculation mode to retain warmth for a few minutes before switching back to fresh air mode to prevent fogging. Additionally, remember to turn off the AC mode since it consumes extra fuel for cooling, which isn't needed for heating. Overall, Audi's design is hassle-free, but preheating the car a few minutes in advance in cold weather yields better results.
