Autonomous heating and ventilation system (Audi A8 D2)

The constant interior heating system operates independently of the engine and air conditioning from a separate battery located in the luggage compartment. The system facilitates defrosting of windows in cold weather. In addition, thanks to the heating of the coolant, it is easier engine start at low temperature.

Heating can be used both when the car is parked and when the car is moving (for example, at the start of the movement, when the engine has not yet warmed up).

Autonomous heating is also used as autonomous ventilation, with the help of which the temperature in the interior of a car parked in the sun is significantly reduced.

Autonomous heating or ventilation can be switched on as needed and at a pre-programmed time.

Control is carried out by buttons and an indicator in the driver's door.

The maximum operating time of autonomous heating or ventilation is 60 minutes. Then the system switches off.

Move the transparent sliding cover (arrow) to the left. On vehicles not equipped with a driver's seat position memory, the holder is located in the location of the switches shown, to the right of the control panel of the independent heating system. When opening the door, care must be taken to ensure that water or rain does not get on the control panel, so the cover must be closed after setting the required operating modes of the system.
