Audi Q5   Controls   Heating and cooling  3-zone deluxe automatic air conditioner
The air outlets for the rear cabin are located in the centre console.
The outlets can be opened and closed by turning the left thumbwheel.
Use the handle in the centre of the outlets to adjust the direction of air flow. The direction of air delivery from these outlets can be adjusted horizontally and vertically using the adjuster in the centre of each outlet grille.
To increase or reduce the temperature of the air stream, turn the right thumbwheel further towards the red or blue marking.
The flow of air from the outlets is controlled either automatically or manually, depending on the operating mode selected. All the outlets can provide air which is either heated, unheated, or cooled.
The heater outlets for the rear footwells are located under the front seats.
Note
When the air conditioner is operating in the cooling mode the air is directed mainly to the outlets in the centre console. To ensure an adequate cooling effect, you should not close these outlets completely.
