The current setting for air distribution is dis-
played on the Control Display.
A congenial climate
For almost all conditions, the AUTO program
offers the optimal air distribution and air vol-
ume. Select an interior temperature you find
pleasant.
The following section contains more detailed
information on the available setting options.
AUTO program
The AUTO program handles the
adjustment of air distribution to the
windshield and side windows, in
the direction of the upper body, and in the foot-
well, as well as the adjustment of the air volume.
It also adapts your instructions for the tempera-
ture to outside influences throughout the year.
The cooling is switched on automatically with
the AUTO program. At the same time, a con-
densation sensor controls the program in such
a way that window condensation is prevented
as much as possible.
Temperature adjustment
By rotating, you can set a desired
temperature for the driver's side
and the passenger side.
After you start to drive, this system
ensures that the selected temperature is
achieved as quickly as possible. It then main-
tains this temperature, regardless of the sea-
son.
Defrosting windows and removing
condensation
This program quickly removes ice
and condensation from the wind-
shield and front side windows.
Air volume, manual
You can adjust the air volume by
turning. You can reactivate the
automatic mode for the air volume
with the AUTO button.
Switching cooling function on and off
manually
The cooling function cools and
dehumidifies the incoming air
before reheating it as needed
according to the temperature setting. Depend-
ing on the weather, the windshield may fog over
briefly when the engine is started.
The air conditioner can operate only when the
engine is running. The AUTO program auto-
matically switches on the air conditioner.
Maximum cooling
This program quickly provides
maximum cooling.
The system switches to the recir-
culated-air mode and the air flows
at maximum air volume only from the vent out-
lets for the upper body area. For this reason you
should ensure that these vent outlets are open
before selecting this program.
AUC automatic recirculated-air
control/recirculated air mode
You can respond to unpleasant
odors or pollutants in the immedi-
ate environment by temporarily
suspending the supply of outside air. The sys-
tem then recirculates the air currently within the
vehicle. In AUC mode, a sensor detects pollut-
ants in the outside air and controls the shut-off
automatically.
Press the button repeatedly to run through the
following control sequence:
>LED off: outside air flows into the vehicle
continuously.
>Right LED on, AUC mode: the system
detects pollutants in the outside air and
responds by blocking the supply of outside
air when required.
>Left LED on, recirculated-air mode: the
supply of outside air into the vehicle is shut
off continuously.
If condensation starts to form on the
inside window surfaces during operation
in the recirculated-air mode, you should switch

ible top open. In addition, the air supply is

Ventilation
1Serrated dial for smoothly opening and
closing air vents
2Lever for changing the airflow direction
Do not drop any foreign bodies into the
vent outlets, as otherwise these could be
catapulted outwards and lead to injuries.<
Ventilation for cooling
Adjust the vent outlets to direct the flow of cool
air in your direction, for instance, if the interior
has become too warm, etc.
Draft-free ventilation
Set the vent outlets so that the air flows past
you and is not directed straight at you.
Microfilter/activated-charcoal filter
The microfilter removes dust and pollen from
the incoming air. The activated-charcoal filter
provides additional protection by filtering gas-
eous pollutants from the outside air. Your BMW
center replaces this combined filter as a stan-
dard part of your scheduled maintenance.
You can have more detailed information shown
on the Control Display, refer to page70.
