Parking lamps
In switch position1, the front, rear and side
vehicle lighting is switched on. You can use the
parking lamps for parking. For lighting on one
side for parking as an additional feature, refer to
page100.
The parking lamps drain the battery. Do
not leave them switched on for long peri-
ods of time; otherwise, it may no longer be pos-
sible to start the engine.<
Low beams
The low beams light up in switch position2 only
with the engine running. Otherwise, the parking
lamps are lit.
Automatic headlamp control
In the switch position3, the system activates
the low beams and switches them on or off in
response to changes in ambient light condi-
tions, for example in a tunnel, at dawn and dusk,
and in case of precipitation. The LED next to the
symbol is illuminated when the low beams are
on.When driving into a tunnel with bright overhead
lighting, switching on of the lights may be
delayed.
A blue sky with the sun low on the horizon can
cause the lights to be switched on.
The low beams remain switched on
regardless of the ambient light when you
switch on the front fog lamps.
When daytime running lamps are activated, the
low beams are always switched into switch
position3 whenever the ignition is switched
on.<
If so desired, the light switch can be left in the
position3. The exterior lighting is automatically
switched off after switching off the vehicle.
The automatic headlamp control cannot
serve as a substitute for your personal
judgment in determining when the lamps
should be switched on in response to ambient
lighting conditions. For example, the sensors
cannot detect fog of hazy weather. To avoid
safety risks, you should always switch on the
lamps manually under these conditions.<
Pathway lighting
After parking the vehicle and switching off the
headlamps, you can use the headlamp flasher
control to activate the low beams for a period of
roughly 40 seconds.
Pressing the button on the remote control,
refer to page33, also switches on the low
beams for approx. 40 seconds. In addition, the
door handle and interior lamps are switched on
for approx. 10 seconds.
Daytime running lamps*
If so desired, the light switch can remain in
position2 or 3.
The exterior lighting is automatically switched
off after switching off the vehicle.
Switch on the parking lamps if required as
described under Parking lamps.

Maximum cooling
Maximally cooled air is obtained as
quickly as possible from an outside
temperature above 327/06 and
with the engine running.
The automatic climate control
changes over to the lowest temperature and
switches into the recirculated-air mode. The
maximum air quantity only flows out of the vents
for the upper body, so open these vents for
maximum cooling.
Air volume
You can vary the air volume by
turning. You can reactivate the
automatic air supply mode by
pressing the AUTO button.
Manual air distribution
You can adapt the air distribution to your own
personal preferences:
1.Open the start menu.
2.Open "Climate".
3.Turn the controller to select driver's side or
passenger side.4.Select the desired field and press the con-
troller.

side windows
2Air to the upper body
3Air to footwell
You can only use the condensation sensor in
the AUTO program. Press the AUTO button
when you notice condensation on windows and
want to use the advantages of the condensation
sensor.
Defrosting windows and removing
condensation
Quickly remove ice and condensa-
tion from the windshield and front
side windows.
Residual heat
The system uses the warmth
stored in the engine to heat the
interior when the ignition is off, e.g.
while the vehicle is stopped at a
railroad crossing.
The function can be switched on when the fol-
lowing conditions are met:
>up to 15 minutes after switching off the
engine
>with the engine at operating temperature
>with sufficient battery voltage
>at an outside temperature below 777/
256
The LED lights up when the function is
switched on.

ready state.
Switching cooling function on and off
manually
When activated, the air conditioner
mode cools and dehumidifies the
incoming air, reheating it as
required, depending on the temperature set-
ting. Depending on the weather, the windshield
may fog over briefly when the engine is started.
The cooling function is switched on automati-
cally with the AUTO program. The passenger
compartment can only be cooled with the
engine running.

The rear window defroster
switches off automatically after a
while.

Ventilation for cooling
Adjust the vents 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 select a display of more detailed infor-
mation in the service required display, refer to

Telephone overview
The concept
Your BMW is equipped with a mobile phone
preparation package. After a suitable mobile
phone has been logged onto the vehicle once,
you can operate the mobile phone via iDrive,
via the buttons on the steering wheel, via the
phone keypad and by voice.
A mobile phone that has been logged on once is
automatically detected again with the engine
running or the ignition switched on as soon as
it is in the vehicle interior. The logon data of up
to four mobile phones can be stored simulta-
neously. If several mobile phones are detected
simultaneously, the mobile phone logged on
most recently can be operated via the vehicle.
Using a phone in your vehicle
Using snap-in adapter*
The so-called snap-in adapter, a mobile phone
cradle, enables the battery to be charged and
the mobile phone to be connected to the exter-
nal antenna of your vehicle. This assures better
network reception and uniform sound quality.
Ask your BMW center which mobile phones
snap-in adapters are offered for.
BMW discourages the use of mobile
phones or other mobile communications
devices inside the vehicle without a direct con-
nection to an outside antenna. Otherwise, the
vehicle electronics and mobile communications
device can affect each other. In addition, there
is no assurance that the radiation generated
during transmission will be discharged from the
vehicle interior.<
Avoid operating a mobile phone detected by
the vehicle with the keypad of the mobile
phone; otherwise, malfunctions can occur.The mobile phone can be operated by means
of:
>Buttons on the steering wheel, refer to
page11
>Retracting telephone keypad, refer to
page177
>iDrive, for principle details, refer to page16.
>Voice command system
*, refer to page23,
except for incoming calls
For information on operating your mobile
phone, please consult the separate operating
instructions.
For your safety
Only make entries when the traffic situa-
tion allows you to do so. Do not hold the
mobile phone in your hand while you are driving;
use the hands-free system instead. If you do
not observe this precaution, your being dis-
tracted can endanger vehicle occupants and
other road users.<
Suitable mobile phones
Ask your BMW center which mobile phones
with a Bluetooth interface are supported by the
mobile phone preparation package or which
mobile phones snap-in adapters are available
for. These mobile phones support the functions
described in this Owner's Manual with a certain
software version. Malfunctions can occur with
other mobile phones.
