Air Conditioning System - Audi Q7 361 Service

Air conditioning system

Overview
The new Audi Q7 is equipped with an air conditioning system as standard. Three different air conditioners are
available:
Air conditioner (basic)
The systems can be identified by means of the
different air conditioner operating units. The basic
air conditioner does not feature an automatic
function. The deluxe automatic air conditioner and
the four-zone deluxe automatic air conditioner are
equipped with sun-position dependent control,
separate temperature and air distribution for the
driver and front passenger sides, and indirect
ventilation. Air conditioning of the rear passenger
compartment is achieved via air vents in the B-
pillars, and also in the C-pillars in the case of the
four-zone system. The refrigerant circuit is a further
development based on the air conditioning system
already successfully implemented in the VW
Touareg.
The optionally available four-zone deluxe automatic
air conditioner features an additional air conditioner
unit in the rear passenger compartment. The
components of the rear air conditioner unit are
easily accessible behind the left side trim in the
luggage compartment. The rear air conditioner unit
has been adopted without modifications from the
VW Touareg.
