Microfilter, activated-charcoal
filterThe microfilter removes dust and pollen
from the incoming air. The activated-
charcoal filter provides additional pro-
tection by filtering gaseous pollutants
from the outside air. Your BMW center
replaces the filter assemblies as a stan-
dard part of your scheduled mainte-
nance. A substantial reduction in air
flow indicates that the filter needs to be
replaced early.

2 TemperatureThe rear passengers can adjust the
temperature for the ventilation outlets
which are positioned above this as de-
sired. The figures in the display provide
a general indication of interior tempera-
ture. We recommend 707 (226) as a
comfortable setting, whether the air
conditioner is operating or not. When
you start the vehicle, the system en-
sures that the selected temperature is
achieved as quickly as possible. It then
maintains this temperature, regardless
of the season.3 Air supplyWhen you press "–" in the lowest
blower speed, all of the displays are
canceled: This setting deactivates the
blower and shuts off the air supply. You
can then switch the rear air conditioner
back on by pressing the button again.
The air flow in the rear will vary accord-
ing to the settings selected at the front.

Technical modifications to the vehicleAny authorized BMW center will be glad
to inform you of the advisability, legal
requirements and factory recommenda-
tions with regard to technical modifica-
tions on the car. For this purpose, the
BMW center requires the Vehicle Identi-
fication Number and, in some cases,
also the engine number.Light-Emitting Diodes (LEDs)Light-emitting diodes installed behind
translucent lenses serve as the light
source for many of the controls and dis-
plays in your vehicle. The concept be-
hind their operation is related to that
employed for lasers, and they are offi-
cially designated as Class 1 light-emit-
ting diodes. Do not remove the protective lens
and avoid staring directly at the
unfiltered beam for extended periods
(several hours), as inflammation of the
iris could result.<
