Microfilter, activated charcoal
filter
*
A microfilter traps dust and pollen from
the outside air. The activated-charcoal
filter provides additional protection by
filtering gaseous pollutants from the
outside air. Your BMW center replaces
this combined filter
* as a standard part
of your scheduled maintenance. A sub-
stantial reduction in air flow indicates
that the filter needs to be replaced
early.
For additional details on the filter
change, please refer to page 154.The seat cushion and backrest can be
heated with ignition key in position 2.
By repeated actuation of a button, you
can select one of three different opera-
tion modes.
>Two indicator lamps on: Heating at a
high temperature
>One indicator lamp on: Heating at a
low temperature
>Indicator lamps off: Seat heating de-
activated.

To actuate, press the button briefly with
ignition key in position 2.
The illustration depicts the arrangement
of the buttons if the vehicle is fully
equipped. This may vary, depending
on the equipment actually installed.462us028

Fuses Microfilter The fuses, their respective ampere rat-
ings and the equipment in their circuits
are all indicated below the fuse holder.
To close the fuse holder, snap it into
position at the top and turn the two fas-
teners inward.
Do not attempt to repair a burned
fuse or replace it with a fuse hav-
ing a different color or amperage rating.
To do this could cause a fire in the vehi-
cle resulting from a circuit overload.<
If a fuse blows repeatedly, refer the
problem to your authorized BMW center
for repair.
