Temperature

Set the desired temperatures indi-
vidually for the driver's and front
passenger's sides.
The automatic climate control

achieves this temperature as quickly as possi-
ble regardless of the season, using maximum
cooling or heating power if necessary, and then
maintains it.

When you switch between different tem-
perature settings in quick succession, the

automatic climate control does not have
enough time to achieve the set temperature.

Maximum cooling

At outside temperatures above
32

7/0 6 and when the engine is

running, you obtain a maximum
cooling effect as soon as possible.

The automatic climate control switches to the
lowest temperature and operates in recircu-
lated-air mode. Air flows at maximum rate only
from the vents for the upper body area. You
should therefore open them for maximum cool-
ing.

AUTO program

The AUTO program adjusts the air
distribution to the windshield and

Climate

side windows, towards the upper body area and
into the footwell for you. The air flow rate and
your temperature specifications will be adapted
to outside influences as a result of seasonal
changes, e.g. sunlight or window condensation.
The cooling is switched on automatically with
the AUTO program.

Intensity of the AUTO program

You can set the intensity of the air supply in the
AUTO program. This changes the duration of
time during which the vehicle interior is heated
or cooled.

Open the start menu.

Call up "Climate".

Select "Automatic programs" and press the
controller.

Select the desired field.

Press the controller to set the desired inten-
sity.

left side of the button to switch off the auto-
matic climate control. All indicators go out.
Press any button except REST to reactivate the
automatic climate control.

AUC Automatic recirculated-air
control/Recirculated-air mode

Switch on the desired operating
mode by pressing this button
repeatedly:

LEDs off: outside air flows in continuously.

Left-hand LED on, AUC mode: a sensor
detects pollutants in the outside air. If nec-
essary, the system blocks the supply of out-
side air and recirculates the inside air. As
soon as the concentration of pollutants in
the outside air has decreased sufficiently,
the system automatically switches back to
outside air supply.

Right-hand LED on, recirculated-air mode:
the supply of outside air is permanently
shut off. The system then recirculates the
air currently within the vehicle.

If condensation starts to form on the
inside window surfaces during operation

in the recirculated-air mode, you should switch
it off while also increasing the air flow rate as
required.
The recirculated-air mode should not be used
over an extended period of time, otherwise the
air quality inside the car will deteriorate contin-
uously.

Via the button* on the steering wheel

You can switch between operating modes via
an individually programmable button

on the

steering wheel, refer to page

When outside air is coming in, you can use
the button on the steering wheel to switch
between outside air and recirculated-air
mode.

When recirculated-air mode or AUC mode
is switched on, you can use the button on
the steering wheel to switch between recir-
culated-air mode and AUC mode.

Residual heat

The heat stored in the engine is
used to heat the passenger com-
partment, e.g. while stopped at a
school to pick up a child.

The function can be switched on when the fol-
lowing conditions are met:

Up to 15 minutes after the engine has been
switched off

While the engine is at operating tempera-
ture

As long as battery voltage is sufficient

At an outside temperature below 77

The LED is lit when the function is on.
As of radio readiness, you can set the interior
temperature, the air flow rate and the air distri-
bution.

Defrosting windows and removing
condensation

Quickly removes ice and conden-
sation from the windshield and
front side windows.

Switching cooling function on/off

The cooling function cools and
dehumidifies the incoming air
before also reheating it as

required, according to the temperature setting.
Depending on the weather, the windshield may
fog over briefly when the engine is started.
The cooling function is automatically switched
on along with the AUTO program. The passen-
ger compartment can only be cooled while the
engine is running.

Rear window defroster

The defroster switches off auto-
matically after a certain time.

The microfilter traps dust and pollen in the
incoming air. The activated-charcoal filter pro-
vides additional protection by filtering gaseous
pollutants from the outside air. Your BMW Cen-
ter replaces this combined filter during routine
maintenance.
You can call up further information in the service
requirements display, refer to page

Parked car ventilation

Concept

The parked car ventilation/heating provides
ventilation to the passenger compartment and
lowers its temperature, if necessary. It is ready
for use at any outside temperature, as of radio
readiness.
The parked car ventilation/heating remains
switched on for 30 minutes. Two different
switch-on times can be preselected. The sys-
tem can also be switched on and off directly.
Due to its high power consumption, it should
not be switched on twice in a row without driv-
ing in between to allow the battery to recharge.
The air emerges from the air vents for the upper
body area in the instrument panel. The air vents
must therefore be open.
The parked car ventilation system is operated
via iDrive.

Integrated universal remote

control*

The concept

The integrated universal remote control can
replace as many as three hand-held transmit-
ters for various remote-controlled devices,
such as door openers and house alarm sys-
tems. The integrated universal remote control
registers and stores signals from the original
hand-held transmitters.
The signal of an original hand-held transmitter
can be programmed on one of the three mem-
ory buttons

1. After this, the programmed

memory button

1 will operate the system in

question. The LED

2 flashes to confirm trans-

mission of the signal.
Should you sell your vehicle one day, be sure to
delete the stored programs beforehand for your
safety, refer to page

101

To prevent possible damage or injury,
before programming or using the inte-

grated universal remote control, always inspect
the immediate area to make certain that no peo-
ple, animals or objects are within the pivoting or
travel range of the device being operated. Com-
ply also with the safety instructions supplied
with the original hand-held transmitter.

Checking compatibility

If this symbol appears on the package
or in the instructions supplied with the
original hand-held transmitter, you can

assume that the radio remote control device will
be compatible with the integrated universal
remote control.
For additional information, please contact your
BMW Center or call: 1-800-355-3515.

the original hand-held transmitter uses an alter-
nating-code system. To do so, either read the
instructions for the original hand-held transmit-
ter or hold down the programmed memory
button

1 of the integrated universal remote

control. If the LED

2 on the integrated universal

remote control flashes rapidly for a short while
and then remains lit for about two seconds, the
original hand-held transmitter uses an alternat-
ing-code system. If it uses an alternating-code
system, program the memory buttons
