The conceptThe PDC assists you when you are
parking. A signal warns you of the real
distance to an obstacle. To do this, four
ultrasonic sensors in the front and rear
bumpers measure the distance to the
nearest object. The monitoring range
for the front and both rear corner sen-
sors extends approx. 2 ft (60 cm) be-
yond the bumper. The range for the
center rear sensors extends approx. 5 ft
(1.50 meters).Automatic operationThe system starts to operate automati-
cally approx. one second after you se-
lect reverse or move the selector lever
into the "R" position with the ignition
key in position 2.
Turn on manuallyPress the button (arrow), the indicator
lamp comes on.
After driving more than approx. 160 ft
(50 meters) or exceeding approx.
20 mph (30 km/h), the system switches
off and has to be switched back on
when you want to use it again.390us713
Acoustic signalsThe distance to an object is indicated
by a high beeping sound in the front
and a low beeping sound in the back.
As the distance between vehicle and
object decreases, the intervals between
the tones become shorter. A continu-
ous tone indicates the presence of an
object less than 1 ft (30 cm) away.
The warning signal will be canceled af-
ter approx. 3 seconds if the distance to
the obstruction remains constant during
this time (if you are moving parallel to a
wall, for instance).
Malfunction in the PDC system:
The indicator lamp flashes and a brief
continuous signal tone is heard
>when the PDC system is actived via
the button
>when you first select reverse or move
the selector lever into the "R" posi-
tion after switching on the ignition
>when there is a malfunction while the
PDC system is active.
Switch the system off and have the
cause of the malfunction corrected by
your BMW center.

To reactivate the systemPress the button again; the indicator
lamp goes out.
The laws of physics cannot be
repealed, even with ASC+T/DSC.
An appropriate driving style always
remains the responsibility of the driver.
We therefore urge you to avoid using
the additional safety margin of the
system as an excuse for taking risks.<
For additional details concerning
ASC+T/DSC, please refer to the
chapter describing "Advanced
technology" on page 207.
The concept RDC monitors the tire pressures at all
four wheels, even when the vehicle is
moving. The system provides an alert
whenever the inflation pressure drops
significantly below the specified pres-
sure in one or more tires.
In order for the system to "learn" the
correct tire inflation pressure, check the
inflation pressure in all tires. Refer to
the table of "Tire inflation pressures"
beginning on page 29 and make any
necessary corrections. Then activate
the system.
This indicator lamp in the in-
strument cluster or the Check
Control will inform you if the
tire pressure is not correct.
Activate the system1 Turn the ignition key to position 2 (do
not start the engine).
2 Press and hold the button (arrow) un-
til the yellow indicator lamp in the in-
strument cluster comes on for a few
seconds or the message "SET TIRE
PRESSURE" appears in the Check
Control.
3 After you have driven for a few min-
utes, the RDC will import the current
inflation pressure in the tires as the
target values which the system will
monitor.
You will only have to repeat this proce-
dure if the tire inflation pressure must
be corrected. Otherwise, the RDC func-
tions automatically when the ignition
key is in position 2, and thus operates
whenever the vehicle is driven.390de320

way as the interior lamps.
The reading lamps are located in the
front near the interior lamp. There are
also reading lamps in the rear. They can

Tips for pleasant drivingUse the automatic system, that is,
press AUTO button 6. Select an interior
temperature that is comfortable for you
– we recommend 707 (226). When
the outside temperature is above 417
(56), you can also use the air condi-
tioner 12. This will dry the air and pre-
vent the window from fogging (for ex-
ample if people are wearing damp
clothes in the vehicle). Set the outlets 2
so that the airflows past you and is not
directed straight at you. Set the rotary
dial between the outlets 2 for the upper
body to a central position. This will pro-
vide cooler air, and help to prevent fa-
tigue during the journey.
Detailed setting options are described
for you in the following section.
You can make the settings of your
vehicle in such a manner that,
when you unlock the vehicle with the
remote control of your personal key,
your own personalized setting for the
automatic climate control is initiated.<
Automatic air distribution
The AUTO program assumes
the adjustment of the air
distribution and the air supply for you
and also adapts the temperature to
external influences (summer, winter) to
meet preferences you can specify. This
program maintains a comfortable in-car
climate regardless of the season. Select
an interior temperature that is pleasant
for you – we recommend 707 (226).
The selected temperature and AUTO
for the airflow appear in the display 9.
Refer to the overview on page 114.
Open the ventilation outlets for the
upper body. Switch on the air condi-
tioner 12 in warm weather. The maxi-
mum cooling capacity is achieved when
you set the rotary dial 3 (refer to
page 118) to cold.
Individual air distribution
You can cancel the AUTO
program by selecting specific
distribution patterns to suit
your own individual require-
ments. You can direct air to flow onto
the windows , toward the upper body
and into the footwell .
Temperature
You can make individual
temperature settings on the
driver's side or the front
passenger side. Your settings will be
shown in the display 9. The displayed
temperatures are reference values for
the interior temperature. We recom-
mend 707 (226) as a comfortable
setting, whether the air conditioner is
operating or not. When you start the
vehicle, the system ensures that the
selected temperature is achieved as
quickly as possible. It then maintains
this temperature, regardless of the
season.
Set the rotary dial 3 (refer to "Draft-free
ventilation" on page 118) to a medium
position to provide somewhat cooler
air. This helps to promote driving with-
out fatigue. Make use of this means of
mixing air especially for making minor
adjustments for personal comfort.
You can set uncontrolled heater
output at up to 907 (326). Full
cooling output is available from the air
conditioner down to 607 (166).<

>Left-hand indicator lamp on – AUC
mode: the system recognizes pollut-
ants in the outside air and blocks the
flow of air when necessary. The sys-
tem then recirculates the air currently
within the vehicle.
Depending on the air quality, the au-
tomatic system then switches back
and forth between outside air supply
and recirculation of the air within the
vehicle.
>Right-hand indicator lamp on: the
flow of external air into the vehicle is
permanently blocked. The system
then recirculates the air currently
within the vehicle.
If you have a multifunction steering
wheel with the recirculated-air button
(refer to page 25), you can also use it to
switch between "Off" and the recircu-
lated-air mode or AUC and the recircu-
lated-air mode.
If the windows should fog over in
the recirculated air mode, switch
the recirculated air mode off and in-
crease the air supply as required.<
Rear window defroster
When the rear window de-
froster is activated, the indica-
tor lamp comes on. The rear window
defroster switches off automatically.
Residual heating mode
The heat which is stored in
the engine is utilized for
heating the interior when the engine
has been switched off (while waiting at
a railroad crossing, for instance).
In ignition key position 1, you can alter
the settings of the automatic climate
control. In ignition key position 0, the
system automatically directs heated air
to the windshield, side windows and
footwells.
This function may be activated
when the outside temperature is
below approx. 597 (156), the engine
is at operating temperature, and the
battery is adequately charged. The LED
on the button will light up when all con-
ditions have been met.<
Draft-free ventilationYou can adjust the blower controls for
the upper body area to select the opti-
mum airflow rates and directions for
your personal requirements:
Use rotary dial 1 to open and close the
airflow through an infinitely-variable
range. You can also use the levers 2 to
change the direction of the airflow.
Set the outlets so that the air flows past
you and does not flow directly onto you.
Rotary dial 3 allows you to adjust the
airflow from these outlets by adding
heat or cooling as desired:
Turn toward blue – colder.
Turn toward red – warmer.390de051
