Audi Q5   Controls   Heating and cooling  Auxiliary heating and ventilation
Applies to vehicles: with auxiliary heating
You can make the desired settings for the auxiliary heating/ventilation on the sound system or MMI*.
Setting the timers
Select: Function selector button CAR > control button AC > e.g. Timer 1 Fig. 1.
Activating a timer
Select: Function selector button CAR > control button AC > Timer status Fig. 2.
Three timers are available for the auxiliary heating/ventilation. You can set a starting time and running time for each of the timers.
When the time set on one of the timers elapses, the date automatically changes to the next day and the Timer status is reset to off. You have to activate one of the timers (e.g. T1 on) before it will switch on the auxiliary heating/ventilation at the time you have set. This prevents the auxiliary heating/ventilation from switching on when you are not using your vehicle.
Note
Before activating the timer, make sure that the correct time and date settings have been entered. If the time and/or date are not correct, the auxiliary heating will come on late or not at all. Please refer to the operating instructions of your sound system or MMI* for information on how to set the date and time.
