PDC with visual warning 
You also enjoy the option of having the sys-
tem show distances to objects on the Con-
trol Display. The Control Display will also 
indicate the presence of objects in green 
before they are close enough to generate a 
signal tone. 
Select "PDC pic." from the "Settings" menu 
and confirm. This activates the PDC dis-
play. 
The display then appears on the Control 
Display whenever the PDC is automatically 
or manually activated. 
The previous display automatically 
reappears after the system is deactivated. 
Confirming the menu item takes 
you back to the previous display.< 
Limits of the system
Even with PDC, final responsibility for 
estimating the distance between the 
vehicle and any obstructions always 
remains with the driver. Even when sensors 
are involved, there is a blind spot in which 
objects cannot be detected. The system is 
also subject to the physical limits that apply 
to all forms of ultrasonic measurement, 
such as those encountered with tow bars and trailer couplings, as well as thin and 
wedge-shaped objects, etc. Low objects 
already displayed, e.g. a curb, can also dis-
appear from the detection area of the sen-
sors again before a continuous tone 
sounds. 
Loud noises from outside and inside the 
vehicle may prevent you from hearing 
PDC's signal tone.< 
Keep the sensors clean and free of ice 
or snow in order to ensure that they 
will continue to operate effectively.
Do not apply high pressure spray to the 
sensors for a prolonged period of time. 
Keep the spray at least 4 in/10 cm away 
from the sensors.< 
Driving stability control/
ABS Antilock Brake System 
The concept 
ABS enhances active safety by preventing 
the wheels from locking under braking. 
ABS incorporates CBC and EBV. 
In case of malfunction 
If the indicator lamp lights up in 
yellow, this indicates that ABS has 
been deactivated in response to a 
system malfunction. Conventional braking 
efficiency remains available without limita-
tions. Please have the system inspected at 
your BMW center. 
CBC Cornering Brake Control 
CBC is a supplement to ABS. It provides 
further enhancements in vehicle stability 
and steering response during lane changes 
and cornering at high rates of lateral accel-
eration. 
EBV Electronic brake-force 
distribution
EBV controls the brake system's applica-
tion pressure at the rear wheels to ensure 
stable deceleration.

refer to page 108, are available only when 
the engine is running.< Your vehicle has been designed to 
automatically select your personal 
climate-control settings whenever you 
unlock the doors using your individually 
programmed remote control.< 
Automatic air distribution and supply 
The AUTO program adjusts the 
airflow and distribution patterns 
for you while also using your 
preselected temperature setting as the 
basis for adjusting the interior climate to 
adapt to external influences: summer, win-
ter.

104 The air conditioner comes on automatically 
when you select the AUTO program. 
Temperature adjustment 
You can turn to select the 
desired temperatures for the 
driver and passenger sides. 
Your settings appear on the 
Control Display's status line. 
The figures in the display provide a general 
indication of interior temperature. When 
you start the vehicle, this system ensures 
that the selected temperature is achieved 
as quickly as possible. It then maintains 
this temperature, regardless of the season. 
Defrosting windows and removing 
condensation 
This program quickly removes 
ice and condensation from the 
windshield and door windows. 
Adjusting air supply manually 
You can adjust the air supply by 
turning. The automatic air sup-
ply control is operational when-
ever you see your selection 
represented by a bar on the 
Control Display's status line. The automatic 
air distribution remains in operation as 
before. You can reactivate the automatic 
air supply mode with the AUTO button. 
Switching air conditioner mode on 
and off manually
The air conditioner cools and 
dehumidifies the incoming air 
before also reheating it as 
required, according to temperature setting. 
Depending on the weather, the windshield 
may fog over briefly when the engine is 
started. 
The air conditioner comes on automatically 
when you select the AUTO program. 
Maximum cooling 
This program quickly provides 
maximum cooling. 
The temperature display reverts 
to 607/166 while the system 
switches to the recirculated-air mode and 
starts to provide maximum air supply 
through the vent outlets only. For this rea-
son you should ensure that these outlets 
are open before selecting this program.
Outside air/AUC Automatic 
recirculated-air control/
recirculated air 
You can respond to unpleasant 
odors or pollutants in the imme-
diate environment by tempo-
rarily suspending the supply of outside air. 
The system then recirculates the air cur-
rently within the vehicle. AUC executes this 
function automatically. 
Press the button repeatedly to run through 
the following control sequence: 
>Indicator lamps off: outside air flows 
into the vehicle 
>Left indicator lamp on, AUC mode: the 
system detects pollutants in the outside 
air and responds by blocking the supply 
of outside air when required. The sys-
tem then recirculates the air currently 
within the vehicle. 
Depending upon air quality, in the auto-
matic mode the system may start to 
alternate between its outside-air and 
recirculated-air modes 
>Right indicator lamp on, recirculated-
air mode: the supply of outside air into 
the vehicle is permanently blocked. 
The system then recirculates the air 
currently within the vehicle. 
If condensation starts to form on the 
inside window surfaces during opera-
tion in the recirculated-air mode, you 
should switch it off while also increasing air 
supply as required.<

Residual heat mode 
The system uses the warmth 
stored in the engine to heat the 
interior when the ignition is off, 
for instance, while the vehicle 
is stopped at a school to pick 
up a child.
You can adjust the automatic climate con-
trol's settings when the ignition lock is in 
the radio mode. The system blows heated 
air into the interior in accordance with the 
selected distribution pattern while the igni-
tion is off. 
Provided that the engine has warmed 
to its normal operating temperature 
and the battery is charged, you can use this 
function for up to 15 minutes after switch-
ing off the ignition. The LED within the but-
ton lights up to confirm compliance with 
both of these conditions.< 
Front ventilation 
You can adjust the vent outlets for the 
upper body to suit your personal require-
ments.
You can use the serrated dials 1 to open 
and close the outlets through an infinitely-
variable range, while the serrated dials 2 
allow you to adjust the airflow direction. 
Ventilation for cooling 
Adjust the vents to direct the flow of cool 
air in your direction, for instance, if the inte-
rior 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. You can also individually adjust the air 
temperature of the air vents for the 
upper body area in the Control Center, 
refer to page 107. 
If the ventilation grill is completely closed, 
the vehicle interior is ventilated indirectly 
by air vents on the upper side of the cock-
pit.< 
Ventilation for storage compartment 
in front armrest 
You can use the serrated dial in the storage 
compartment to open and close the vent. 
Depending upon the temperatures 
selected at the rear dials, high tem-
peratures may occur in the storage com-
partment. Close the vent as required.< 
Ventilation in the rear 
The serrated dials 1 allow you to open and 
close the ventilation outlets through an infi-
nitely-variable range. 
You can adjust the airflow direction using 
the levers 2.
The serrated dials 3
* control the amount of 
cooled air in the flow from the vent outlets:

Things to remember when driving
Break-in procedures 
To ensure that your vehicle continues to 
furnish optimized economy of operation 
throughout an extended service life, we 
request that you devote careful attention 
to the following section.
Engine and differential 
Up to 1,200 miles/2,000 km: 
During this initial period you should attempt 
to avoid constant, steady-state operation 
and vary both vehicle and engine speeds 
as often as possible. Until the break-in 
period has been completed you should 
also refrain from exceeding the following: 
>4,500 rpm or 105 mph/170 km/h. 
Always obey all official speed limits. 
Avoid full-throttle operation and use of the 
transmission's kickdown mode during 
these initial miles. 
Once you have driven 1,200 miles/
2,000 km, the engine or vehicle speeds 
can be gradually increased. 
You should also comply with these break-in 
procedures should the engine or differen-
tial need to be replaced at a later point. 
Tires 
Due to technical factors associated with 
their manufacture, tires do not achieve their 
full traction potential until after an initial 
break-in period.Therefore, drive reservedly 
during the first 200 miles/300 km. 
Brake system 
Brakes require an initial break-in period of 
approx. 300 miles/500 km to achieve opti-
mized contact and wear patterns between 
brake pads and rotors. 
General driving notes 
High temperatures 
Extreme temperatures occur at the 
catalytic converter on this and every 
catalyst-equipped vehicle. Do not remove 
the heat shields installed adjacent to vari-
ous sections of the exhaust system, and 
never apply undercoating to them. 
When driving, standing at idle and while 
parking take care to avoid possible contact 
between the hot exhaust system and any 
highly flammable materials such as hay, 
leaves, grass, etc. Such contact could lead 
to a fire, accompanied by the risk of serious 
property damage as well as personal 
injury.< 
Parking the vehicle 
Condensation forms in the air conditioner 
system during operation, and then exits 
under the vehicle. Traces of condensed 
water under the vehicle are thus normal.
Before driving into the car wash 
1.Fold in the exterior mirrors, refer to 
page 51, as otherwise they could be 
damaged due to the width of the vehicle 
2.Leave the remote control in the ignition 
lock, as otherwise the position P of the 
automatic transmission will automati-
cally be selected when the remote con-
trol is removed, refer to pages 61 
and 67.
With Comfort Access, be sure to 
observe the instructions on page 61
3.Release the parking brake, especially 
when you have activated Automatic 
Hold, refer to pages 62 and 63.
Hydroplaning 
When driving on wet or slushy roads, 
reduce road speed. If you do not, a 
wedge of water can form between tires and 
road surface. This phenomenon is referred
