Calibration tool VAS 721 001
Calibrating the second-generation surround camera
To calibrate the second-generation surround cameras, two
calibration mats (VAS 721 001) are rolled out at the sides
of the vehicle. Both calibration mats are identical. After
this, they are aligned with the vehicle as specified in the
Workshop Manual. Finally, the calibration program is
started using the VAS Scan Tool. It takes only a few seconds
to successfully complete the calibration routine.
Each of the two calibration mats are approximately
26 ft (8 m) long. Due to the length and alignment of the
calibration mats, each mat can be viewed simultaneously
by three surround cameras. Depending on the side of the
vehicle, these are the left or right side camera and the two
front and rear cameras. All four cameras are calibrated
simultaneously after aligning both calibration mats.

Climate control
Introduction
A three-zone climate control system is standard equipment
on the 2017 A4.
A combined dust and pollen filter protects the passengers
in both fresh air mode and re-circulation mode.
Technically, Front A/C Display Control Head E87 is identical
to the 2017 Q7. The temperature displays are integrated in
the rotary dials. Operation is done by a minimum of buttons
and capacitive rocker switches.
A wide air outlet strip across the instrument panel allows
indirect ventilation while increasing the air flow.

Climate control housing
The housing for the climate control system of the 2017 A4
is similar to that of the 2017 Q7. The only difference is the
number of installed control motors.
If repair work is needed, the following components of the
air conditioner can be removed and replaced without
removing the instrument panel:
• Control motors.
• Heat exchanger.
• Fresh Air Blower V2 with Fresh Air Blower Control
Module J126.

Control motors
The control motors are all identical in design and are programmed by auto addressing using the VAS Scan Tool.
If repair work is needed, the cables and plugs leading to
the control motors and the cable connections to the temperature sensor must not be interchanged otherwise the
components could be incorrectly addressed.

Steering wheel heating
Steering wheel heating is part of the optional cold weather
package on Premium Plus and Prestige models. It’s operation is indicated by a display in the instrument cluster.
Once activated, the steering wheel maintains a constant
pre-set temperature.

The heated steering wheel receives its electrical power
from Steering Column Electronics Control Module J527.
The signal provided by the seat heating button in Right

Control Module J453. J453 transfers the data via a LIN bus
to Data Bus On Board Diagnostic Interface J533. From
J533, the information is sent over the FlexRay to Steering
Column Electronics Control Module J527.
