Rear A/C Display Control Head - E265- FOR A/C SYSTEM CONTROL AND REGULATION

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2018 Audi S8, 2018 Audi A8 Quattro, 2017 Audi S8, 2017 Audi A8 Quattro, and 2016 Audi S8. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE:

Pressing the buttons on the front A/C display control head, the Climatronic Control Module -J255-, or the Rear A/C Display Control Head -E265- for an extended period of time (for example if an object is lying on them) can cause a fault to be stored in the event memory indicating that the buttons are stuck. If necessary, check the function of the buttons and erase the event memory if no malfunction is found.

The Rear A/C Display Control Head -E265- is available in different versions. When replacing a Rear A/C Display Control Head -E265-, therefore be sure to use the correct allocation .

In the case of the Rear A/C Display Control Head -E265-, the "component protection" function is currently not effective (introduction of this function not yet finalized) see Vehicle Diagnostic Testerin the "Guided Fault Finding " function.

The selected functions are indicated by illumination of the LEDs in the various buttons of the Rear A/C Display Control Head -E265-.

The display fields and control buttons of the rear A/C display control head -E265- are illuminated by LEDs (these LEDs cannot be replaced).

If a new Rear A/C Display Control Head -E265- was installed and the basic setting was not performed, the A/C system control is limited and this is displayed in the event memory as a malfunction, refer to Vehicle Diagnostic Tester in the "Guided Fault Finding " function.

After replacing the front A/C display control head, the Climatronic Control Module -J255-, and/or Rear A/C Display Control Head -E265-, conduct the basic setting, check the adaptation, and check the event memory of the A/C system see Vehicle Diagnostic Testerin the "Guided Fault Finding " function.

Certain A/C system functions can be switched on and off via the MMI (Multi Media Interface) under the "A/C system" function in the "car" / "car systems" menu. The A/C system control can also be influenced via presettings in the MMI (Multi Media Interface) under the "A/C system" function in the "car" / "car systems" menu. Therefore, first check the presetting in the MMI in the case of a problem with these components, refer to Infotainment/MMI Operating Instructions.

At the start of production, a Rear A/C Display Control Head -E265- -A- was installed only on vehicles with a rear A/C unit. A different version of the Rear A/C Display Control Head -E265- -B- is installed on the Audi A8 hybrid without a rear A/C unit (with rear air distribution housing). This version of the Rear A/C Display Control Head -E265- may be installed, depending on the version of the vehicle from MY 2013, the country variant and also on other vehicles without a rear A/C unit.
