Audi Q5L heating is turned on by: 1. Start the vehicle engine; 2. Turn on the air conditioning after the engine coolant temperature rises; 3. Turn off the AC button and adjust the air volume. Taking the 2020 Audi Q5L as an example, it is a mid-size SUV with body dimensions of: length 4753mm, width 1893mm, height 1659mm, wheelbase 2908mm, minimum ground clearance 179mm, and curb weight 1855kg. The 2020 Audi Q5L is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, with a maximum horsepower of 190PS, maximum torque of 320Nm, maximum power of 140kW, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.

When driving my Audi Q5L in the chilly winter, turning on the heater is quite straightforward. First, after getting in the car, start the engine—remember, the engine needs to be running for the coolant to heat up and produce warm air. Then, locate the air conditioning panel on the center console and turn the temperature knob—usually, the one on the right controls the heat. Rotate it to the area above 24°C. If your car has an AUTO button, pressing it will automatically adjust the airflow based on the temperature. Next, use the fan speed button to manually control the airflow intensity; I usually set it to medium to avoid excessive noise. Oh, and don’t forget to select the air outlet direction, such as directing it toward your feet or face, based on personal comfort. This method is practical and quick. Just remember that the air might not be warm immediately if the engine hasn’t fully heated up—wait a few minutes, and it’ll be fine. Occasionally checking the coolant level can prevent minor issues and ensure the heater works efficiently in the long run.

Every time I start the heating in my Audi Q5L during cold winters, I make sure the engine is running first, otherwise nothing comes out. Those knobs on the air conditioning panel are key—the temperature knob on the right, once turned to the warm zone, around 23°C or above is warm enough. I prefer setting it to 25°C with a gentle fan speed, and the car gets cozy immediately. AUTO mode is my most frequently used—pressing AUTO lets it adjust the temperature and airflow automatically, saving effort and hassle. Occasionally, I manually try different vent settings, like directing airflow toward the windows to prevent frost. Don’t forget to close the windows after turning up the heat to maintain efficiency, and during regular maintenance, check if the cabin air filter is clean to avoid mold issues. This approach is simple and practical, ensuring comfort on long highway drives while reducing window fogging that could obstruct vision, thus enhancing driving safety.

Heating up your Audi Q5L is straightforward: Start the engine, turn up the temperature knob in the climate control area to around 24°C. Press the AUTO button to let the system automatically manage the airflow. Adjust the fan speed button to a lower setting if desired for quieter operation. You can direct warm air to your feet or the front as needed based on your comfort. The whole process is quick and efficient, done in just a few steps.
