How to turn on the heating in an Audi Q5L?
2 Answers
First, start the vehicle and allow the engine to warm up until the coolant temperature reaches above 60°C. Then, turn off the AC button, adjust the air volume and direction to a comfortable position, and set the temperature control to the red zone where you feel comfortable. Warm air will then come out of the vents. Below is an introduction to the heating system: 1. After turning on the heating, set the air circulation mode to internal circulation to help the interior warm up quickly. Later, switch to external circulation as needed to promote air circulation inside the car. When the engine is running, incomplete fuel combustion produces high concentrations of carbon monoxide. If the car is stationary with the heating on and the windows closed, the carbon monoxide emitted by the engine can accumulate and increase in concentration. Therefore, avoid running the heating while parked. 2. Do not turn on the heating immediately upon entering the car, especially in winter. Starting the car in winter can be difficult, and it is necessary to warm up the engine first before driving. The water tank temperature is still low when you first enter the car, so wait until the water tank temperature rises before turning on the heating. Otherwise, it may cause engine wear and other issues.
Turning on the heating in the Audi Q5L is actually quite simple. I've been driving this car for several years and always operate it this way. First, start the engine, but don't rush to turn on the fan immediately. Wait a minute or two to let the engine warm up—the heating will only be effective once the coolant is hot. Then press the AUTO button on the dashboard to activate the air conditioning system, and rotate the temperature knob to set it above 25°C. The higher you go, the warmer it gets, but don't overdo it—around 28°C is quite comfortable. If you want to warm up faster, press the recirculation button to close the windows and block outside air, which makes the heating work more quickly. The air vent mode can be adjusted using the center knob, directing airflow to the feet or defogging the windshield, especially useful in winter to clear fog for safer driving. Remember to check the cabin air filter regularly and clean it if there's any odor or reduced airflow. This method ensures a warm and safe cabin, making driving more comfortable.
