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.<

Microfilter/activated-charcoal filter 
The microfilter removes dust and pollen 
from the incoming air. The activated-char-
coal filter provides additional protection by 
filtering gaseous pollutants from the out-
side air. Your BMW center replaces this 
combined filter as a standard part of your 
scheduled maintenance. 
You can select a display of more detailed 
information in the Service Interval Display,

to as hydroplaning, and is characterized 
by a partial or complete loss of contact 
between tires and road surface, ultimately 
undermining your ability to steer and brake 
the vehicle.< 
Driving through water 
Do not drive through water on the 
road if it is deeper than 1 ft/30 cm, 
and then only at walking speed at the most. 
Otherwise, the vehicle's engine, the electri-
cal systems and the transmission may be 
damaged.< 
Brake system 
Braking with ABS 
The best way to achieve the best response 
from the ABS is to apply maximum pres-
sure to the brake pedal Ð panic stop. Since 
the vehicle maintains steering responsive-
ness, you can nevertheless avoid possible 
obstacles with a minimum of steering 
effort. 
Pulsation at the brake pedal combines with 
sounds from the hydraulic circuits to indi-
cate to the driver that ABS is in its active 
mode. 
Do not drive with your foot resting on 
the brake pedal. Otherwise, even light 
but consistent pedal pressure can lead to 
high temperatures, brake wear and possi-
bly even brake failure.< 
Disc brakes 
Driving in wet conditions 
While driving in wet conditions and in 
heavy rain, it is a good idea to apply light 
pressure to the brake pedal every few 
miles. Monitor traffic conditions to ensure 
that this maneuver does not endanger 
other road users. The heat generated in this 
process helps dry the pads and rotors to 
ensure that full braking efficiency will then 
be available when you need it. 
Hills 
You can retain full and unimpaired braking 
efficiency by downshifting to a gear in 
which only minimal brake applications are 
needed when descending long or steep 
downhill stretches. 
You can further enhance the engine's 
braking effect by selecting a lower gear 
in the automatic transmission's manual 
mode, downshifting as far as first gear 
on extremely steep stretches, refer to 
page 67. This strategy helps you avoid 
placing excessive loads on the brake sys-
tem. 
Never allow the vehicle to coast with 
the transmission in Neutral Ð or with 
the engine switched off Ð as there is no 
engine braking when the transmission is in 
Neutral, and no power-assist for brakes 
and steering when the engine is not run-
ning. 
Never allow floor mats, carpets or any other 
objects to protrude into the area around the 
accelerator and brake pedals and obstruct 
their movement.< 
Corrosion 
When the vehicle is driven only occasion-
ally, during extended periods when the 
vehicle is not used at all, and in operating 
conditions where brake applications are 
less frequent, there is an increased ten-
dency for corrosion to form on rotors, while 
contaminants accumulate on the brake 
pads. This occurs because the minimal 
pressure which must be exerted by the 
pads during brake applications to clean the 
rotors is not reached. 
Should corrosion form on the brake rotors, 
the brakes will tend to respond with a pul-
sating effect that even extended applica-
tion will fail to cure. 
Brake pads 
If the brake pad wear warning lamp 
appears in the Check Control, 
accompanied by a text. Please take 
careful note of the additional information on 
the Control Display.
