yes but annoying can't just hold it until it turns off - have to release @ last line and
...press again to go off.
But it's abyssmal not to have a f'n OFF SWITCH 8-(... holding it takes too long and is def. an annoyance...

I check left and right, usually. Some of the kids in our circle have lost a healthy fear of cars.
I try my best to educate them, but that's another story.

^^^That's a fan blower speed button not an "Off" button.^^^
We have buttons for headrest up and down, seatbelt adjustment up and down, auto window up and down, tiptronic transmission in short all types of luxo features not found in mere mortal cars.
In order to turn off the A/C you have to reach for the fan blower button and hold it all the way down, release and then push again.
You can say I'm being a baby and spoiled but I'm not, in my 1976 car I don't expect such features in an Audi flagship I do.

AC compressor button
The compressor turns off with the single touch of the "ECON" button. This allows circulation without cooling/dehumidification.
The ventilation fan does require the second touch after the fan speed is fully reduced.
More buttons than you can shake a stick at!

any way to lock the car without turning on the alarm?
I wanted to lock my father in law in the car today without turning on the alarm. I had to open the passenger door and lean all the way across to hit the driver's door panik/lock button.
...it was less than graceful.
