How to synchronize the air conditioning system of the Audi A3

Model: Audi A3 MK 2, 8P - Years 2003-2013
Part: Air conditioner

The air conditioning system of the Audi A3 model 8P allows for independent use of the air conditioning; in fact, by turning the knobs, it is possible to have two different climates on both the left and right sides. However, by holding down the AUTO button located between the knobs for a few seconds, both readings are linked together. When the temperature is changed on the driver's side, it also changes on the passenger side until adjustments are made using the passenger side knob. To return to the independent air conditioning option, simply press the AUTO button.
