The blower speed will be shown on the MMI display
⇒page 96,
fig. 110 for a few seconds if the MMI is switched on.
Note
•
The blower speed may change automatically. This ensures that
the selected temperature is reached as quickly as possible.
•
The blower speed cannot be regulated separately for the driver
and front passenger sides of the vehicle.
Applies to vehicles: with deluxe automatic air conditionerAir recirculation mode
The air recirculation setting prevents fumes etc. from
entering the interior.Switching on the air recirculation mode
– Press the button ⇒.
Switching off the air recirculation mode
– Press the button again, or
– Press the button, or
– Press the button.In this setting, the air is drawn from the interior of the vehicle,
filtered and continuously recirculated. We recommend using the air
recirculation mode in the following circumstances:
When driving through a tunnel or in queues of traffic, to prevent
fumes entering the interior of the vehicle.
WARNING
For reasons of safety you should not leave the air recirculation
switched on for too long. This mo de prevents fresh air from
entering the vehicle, so the windows can mist over if the air
cooling is switched off. Bad visibility can cause an accident.Applies to vehicles: with deluxe automatic air conditionerAir distribution
The automatically programmed air distribution can be
altered manually if required.– Press the button for Distribution .

The rear window heating only works when the engine is running. An
indicator lamp in the button lights up when the rear window heater
is switched on.
Depending on the outside temperat ure, the rear window heating
switches off automatically after about 10 to 20 minutes.
The rear window heating can be switched on permanently by
pressing the
button for longer than two seconds. It will then
remain on until the ignition is switched off. When the rear window
heating is switched on, this setting will remain activated for 15
minutes after switching off the ignition.
If the engine is started again during this period of 15 minutes, the
rear window heating will be switched on for about 10 to 20 minutes,
depending on the exterior temperature. This means you do not have
to manually switch on the rear window heating again if the vehicle
has only been parked for a short time.
For the sake of the environment
Switch off the heated rear window manually as soon as the rear
window is clear. By saving electrical power you can also save fuel.Applies to vehicles: with deluxe automatic air conditionerAC mode Deactivating the AC mode

Economical operation of the air conditioner will help to
save fuel.When the air conditioner is operating in the cooling mode it
reduces engine power and increases fuel consumption. To
ensure that the cooling mode is activated only when really
necessary, please note the following points:
– Switch off the cooling mode by pressing the AC button (LED off) if you wish to save fuel.
– You should also switch off the cooling mode by pressing the AC button (LED off) if you open the windows or the
tilting panorama roof* while driving.
– If the vehicle has heated up after standing in the sun, open the windows and doors for a short time to cool the
vehicle.
For the sake of the environmentBy saving fuel you also reduce the amount of pollutants emitted
from your vehicle.

– Select a temperature between +16 °C (60 °F) and +28 °C
(84 °F).
– Press the button.The automatic mode maintains a constant temperature inside the
vehicle and dehumidifies the air. Air temperature, air delivery and
air distribution are regulated automatically to reach the desired interior temperature as quickly as possible, and then to maintain
this temperature. The system automatically compensates for any
variations in the outside temperature and for the effect of direct
sunlight.
The automatic temperature regulation
only operates at temperature
settings between +16 °C and +28 °C. If a temperature below +16 °C
is selected, LO appears on the display. If a temperature above +28 °C
is selected, the display will show HI. In the two extreme settings the
air conditioner operates continuously with maximum cooling or
heating output, and the temp erature is not regulated
automatically.

Auxiliary heating and auxiliary
ventilationApplies to vehicles: with auxiliary heating - under development at the time of printingDescription
The auxiliary heating and ventilation systems heat and
cool the interior independently of the engine.The auxiliary heating
works in conjunction with the air condi-
tioner system, but does not rely on heat from the engine. Instead of
this, the system burns fuel. The system's main function is to warm
up the interior of the vehicle and to defrost the windows in cold
weather.
The auxiliary heating system can be used both when the vehicle is
stationary and when driving (to provide extra heat while the engine
is warming up).
The auxiliary ventilation also operates independently of the
engine. This feature can be used to cool the interior with the blower
when the vehicle is left parked in the sun.
The system will automatically activate either the auxiliary heating or
the auxiliary ventilation mode, de pending on the actual tempera-
ture measured inside the car and the temperature you have set with
the air conditioner controls. It is possible to alter the temperature
setting while the auxiliary he ating/ventilation is running.
Switching on and off
There are two different ways of switching on the auxiliary
heating/ventilation system.
•
Immediate start: You can switch the auxiliary heating/ventilation
on and off at any time in the MMI Car menu ⇒page 112 . You can
also switch the system on and off using the remote control
⇒ page 114 .
•
Switching on via timer: You can programme various start times
using the timers ⇒ page 112. However you must first activate the timer before the auxiliary heating/ve
ntilation system will switch on
automatically.
The auxiliary heating/ventilation will switch itself off at the end of
the programmed running time. The running time can be set to 15,
30, 45 or 60 minutes ⇒page 113 .
WARNING
•
The auxiliary heating must no t be allowed to run when the
vehicle is in a confined space because it can give off toxic fumes.
•
To avoid any possible fire risk, never have the auxiliary heating
switched on when refuelling the vehicle.
•
Because of the high temperatur es which occur when the auxil-
iary heating is running, make sure when parking the car that the
exhaust outlet under the car is no t obstructed in any way and that
the exhaust gases do not come in to contact with flammable mate-
rials (fire risk).Note
•
It is advisable to open the air outlets when using the auxiliary
heating/ventilation.
•
The auxiliary heating/ventilation will not switch on if the fuel in
the tank has reached the reserve zone.
•
The auxiliary heating/ventilation wi ll not switch on if the battery
charge level is low.
•
The symbols
(auxiliary ventilation) or
(auxiliary heating)
flash in the instrument cluster ne xt to the clock display when the
auxiliary heating/ventilation is switched on. Both symbols light
continuously when the timer is activated.
•
At low outside temperatures some visible water vapour may
form in the engine compartment. This is a normal phenomenon,
and no reason for concern.
