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.
Turn the rotary control toward zero:
The blower and the heating are turned off,
and the air supply is stopped.
Temperature
In order to increase the tempera-
ture of the passenger compart-
ment, turn to the right toward the
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. Do
not use the recirculated-air mode continu-
ously over a long period of time as this
would otherwise reduce the air quality in
the interior of the vehicle.<
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:
1Rotary dials for opening and closing the
vents at any setting desired
2Slide for adjusting airflow direction
Microfilter
The built-in microfilter 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.

Outside air/Automatic recirculated
air control AUC/recirculated air
mode
You can respond to unpleasant
external odors or pollutants by
temporarily stopping the flow of
outside air. The system then
recirculates the air currently within the
vehicle.
By repeatedly pressing the button, you can
select one of three different operating
modes.
>Indicator lamps off: outside air flows
into the vehicle
>Left-hand indicator lamp on, AUC
mode: the system detects pollutants in
the outside air and responds by deacti-
vating the outside airflow as required.
The system then recirculates the air
currently within the vehicle. Depending
on air quality requirements, the system
automatically switches between out-
side air supply and recirculation of the
air already within the vehicle
>Right-hand indicator lamp on: the flow
of outside air is permanently blocked.
The system recirculates the air already
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. Do
not use the recirculated-air mode continu-
ously over a long period of time as this
would reduce the air quality in the interior
of the vehicle.<
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:
1Rotary dials for opening and closing the
vents at any setting desired
2Sliders for adjusting airflow direction
Microfilter/activated-charcoal filter
The built-in microfilter removes dust and
pollen from the incoming air. The activated-
charcoal filter provides additional protec-
tion by filtering gaseous pollutants from the
outside air. Your BMW center replaces this
combined filter as a standard part of your
scheduled maintenance. A substantial
reduction in airflow indicates that the filter
needs to be replaced earlier.
