Adjusting temperature for the upper
body
This function provides you with the option
of making minor adjustments to achieve
maximum comfort.
Use the temperature setting to adjust the
amount of cool air that is added to the air-
flow emerging from the vent outlets for the
upper body. We recommend a moderate
temperature setting, as cooler air helps
promote fatigue-free driving.
Storing and calling up an individual
setting

Particle/activated-charcoal filter
The particle filter 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,
refer to page 83.

Adjusting cooling
You can also set the system to
provide the desired level of
cooling by turning. We recom-
mend setting the system for
moderate cooling. When you
start off, the system reaches and then
maintains the desired temperature settings
as quickly as possible, both in summer and
in winter.
Adjusting air supply manually
You can adjust the air supply by
turning.
Maximum cooling
This program quickly provides
maximum cooling.
The system automatically switches to the
recirculated-air mode while a high-speed
stream of air simultaneously emerges from
the vent outlets. For this reason you should
ensure that these outlets are open before
selecting this program.

Parked-car ventilation
system

System operation is controlled using the
Control Display. You can set two different
times for the system to start.
The parked-car ventilation blows air into
the passenger compartment to lower inte-
rior temperatures.
The system remains on for 30 minutes. You
can also switch the system on and off man-
ually. Since the system uses a substantial
amount of electrical current, you should
refrain from activating it twice in succes-
sion without allowing the battery to be
recharged in normal operation between
use.
The parked-car ventilation system is avail-
able for preprogrammed operation at out-
side temperatures above approx. 597
(156) and for direct activation at any tem-
perature, but is not operational when the
vehicle is underway.
The air enters the passenger compartment
through the vent outlets in the instrument
panel, which can be adjusted for both
direction and airflow. These outlets must
be open for the system to operate.
Switching on and off directly
1.Activate the radio mode at the ignition
lock
2.Select "Indep. ventil." on the second
page of the "Climate" menu and confirm
your selection.
Select "Indep. ventil." a second time and
confirm to switch off the system directly.

Integrated universal remote
control*
The concept
The integrated universal remote control
can replace as many as three hand-held
transmitters for various remote-controlled
accessories, such as door openers and
house alarm systems. The integrated uni-
versal remote control registers and stores
signals from the original hand-held trans-
mitters.
The signal of an original hand-held trans-
mitter can be programmed on one of the
three memory keys 1. Following that, each
of the devices can be actuated with the
appropriately-programmed memory key 1.
The indicator lamp 2 flashes to confirm
transmission of the signal.
If the vehicle is sold, the memory keys 1
should be cleared as described on
page 115.
To prevent possible damage or injury,
before programming or using the inte-
grated universal remote control, always
inspect the immediate area to make certain
that no people, animals or objects are
within the travel range of the device. Also,
comply with the safety precautions of the
original hand-held transmitter.<
Checking the compatibility
If you see this symbol on the pack-
aging or in the manual supplied with
the original hand-held transmitter, it
is safe to assume that it is compatible with
the integrated universal remote control.
If you have additional questions,
please consult your BMW center or
call 1-800-355-3515.

Programming
1Memory keys
2Indicator lamp
Fixed code hand-held transmitter
1.Switch on the ignition
2.When using for the first time: press both
outer keys 1 for approx. 20 seconds,
maintaining pressure until the indicator
lamp 2 starts to flash. The three
memory keys 1 are cleared
3.Hold the original hand-held transmitter
at a distance of approx. 2 in (5 cm) to
8 in (20 cm) from the memory keys 1.
The required distance between
the hand-held transmitter and
memory keys 1 depends on the rele-
vant system of the original hand-held
transmitter used.<
4.Simultaneously press the transmit key
on the original hand-held transmitter
and the desired memory key 1 of the
integrated universal remote control.
First, the indicator lamp 2 flashes
slowly. Release both keys 2 as soon as
the indicator lamp flashes rapidly. If the
indicator lamp 2 does not flash quickly
after approx. 15 seconds, choose
another distance
5.To program other original hand-held
transmitters, repeat steps 3 and 4.
The corresponding memory key 1 is now
programmed with the signal of the original
hand-held transmitter.

The device can be operated as of ignition
on.
If the device can not be operated after
repeated programming, check
whether the original hand-held transmitter
uses an alternating-code system. To do so,
either read the instructions of the original
hand-held transmitter or press and hold
down the programmed memory key 1 of
the integrated universal remote control. If
the indicator lamp 2 on the integrated uni-
versal remote control flashes quickly for a
brief period and then remains lit up for
approx. two seconds, this indicates that
the original hand-held transmitter is
equipped with an alternating code. In the
case of an alternating-code system, pro-
gram the memory keys 1 as described at
the section on alternating-code transmit-
ters.<
Alternating-code transmitters
Consult the operating instructions of the
unit you wish to set when programming the
integrated universal remote control. Find
out about the possibility for synchroniza-
tion.
When programming hand-held transmitters
that employ an alternating code, please
observe the following supplementary
instructions:
Programming will be easier with the
aid of a second person.<
1.Park your vehicle within the range of the
remote-controlled device
2.Program the integrated universal
remote control as described at the sec-
tion on fixed code hand-held transmit-
ters.
3.Localize the key on the receiver of the
device you want to set up, e.g. on the
upper section of the motor
4.Press the key on the receiver of the
device you want to set up. After step 4,
approx. 30 seconds remain for step 5
5.Press the programmed memory key 1
on the integrated universal remote con-
trol three times. The corresponding memory key 1 is now
programmed with the signal of the original
hand-held transmitter.
If you have any additional questions,
please contact your BMW center.<
Clearing memory keys
Individual memory keys 1 can not be
cleared. However, you clear all three
memory keys 1 together as follows:
Press both outer keys 1 of the integrated
universal remote control for approx.
20 seconds, maintaining pressure until the
indicator lamp 2 starts to flash.
