Automatic climate control

Tips for pleasant driving

To use the automatic function, press
the AUTO button 6. Select an interior
temperature that is comfortable for you.

Detailed setting options are described
for you in the following section.

Your BMW Sports Activity Vehicle
center can program the settings of

your vehicle in such a manner that,
when you unlock the vehicle with your
individualized key, your own personal-
ized setting for the automatic climate
control is initiated.

Automatic air distribution

The AUTO program
adjusts the airflow and dis-

tribution patterns for you while also
using your preselected temperature
setting as the basis for adjusting the
interior climate to adapt to external
influences: summer, winter.

Individual air distribution

You can cancel the AUTO
program by selecting spe-
cific air distribution patterns
for your personal comfort,
the automatic air supply

remains in operation. You can direct
air to flow onto the windows

, toward

the upper body

and into the foot-

well

. You can reactivate the auto-

matic air distribution mode by selecting
the AUTO button.

Temperature

You can make individual
temperature settings on the
driver's side or the front

passenger side. Your specifications
appear in the display 9. The displayed
temperature values are reference val-
ues for the interior temperature. We
recommend 70 7/226 as a comfort-
able setting, whether the air conditioner
is operating or not. When you start the
vehicle, this system ensures that the
selected temperature is achieved as
quickly as possible. It then maintains
this temperature, regardless of the sea-
son.

To change the units of measurement of
the display 7/6, refer to page

Air supply

In the AUTO program the
air supply is automatically

controlled, and AUTO appears in the
display 9, refer to overview on
page

109

. You can vary the air supply

by pressing the left or right half of the
button. When your setting is displayed
by bars, the automatic air supply is
switched off. Automatic air distribution
maintains its setting. You can reactivate
the automatic air supply by pressing the
AUTO button.

When you press the left side of the but-
ton during operation at minimum blower
speed all displays are canceled: the
blower, heating and air conditioner are
switched off. The outside air supply is
closed. You can switch the system
back on by pressing any button of the
automatic climate control, except the
MAX button 16.

Defrosting windows and removing
condensation

This program quickly
removes ice and conden-

sation from the windshield and the side
windows.
