Controlling the climate for pleasant driving

Air distribution

You can direct airflow onto the
windows

, toward the upper

body

and into the footwell

All intermediate settings are pos-

sible.

Air supply/blower

You can set the blower to 8 differ-
ent levels. Both heating and ven-
tilation become more effective as
the air supply rate is increased.

Temperature

In order to increase the tempera-
ture of the passenger compart-
ment, turn to the right – red zone.

Air conditioning

The air is cooled and dehumidi-
fied and – depending on the tem-
perature setting – rewarmed.
Depending on the weather, the

windshield may fog over briefly when the
engine is started.

Condensation forms during operation
of the air conditioning system, which

then exits under the vehicle. Traces of con-
densed water on the ground underneath
the vehicle are thus normal.

Outside-air/recirculated-air mode

If there are unpleasant odors in
the outside air, you can tempo-
rarily block the supply of incom-
ing air. The system then recircu-

lates the air currently within the vehicle.

If the windows fog over in the recircu-
lated air mode, switch this mode off

and increase the air supply as required.

Rear window defroster

The indicator lamp lights up when
the rear window defroster is
active. The rear window defroster
switches off automatically.

Ventilation

You can adjust the blower controls for the
upper body area to obtain the optimum air-
flow rates and directions for your personal
requirements:

Rotary dials for opening and closing the
vents at any setting desired

Lever for adjusting airflow direction

Particle filter

The built-in particle filter removes dust and
pollen from the incoming air and in the
recirculated air mode. Your BMW center
will replace this filter during the regularly
scheduled maintenance. A substantial
reduction in airflow indicates that the filter
needs to be replaced earlier.

condensation

supply completely to the right
