Microfilter/activated-charcoal filter
The microfilter traps dust and pollen in the
incoming air. The activated-charcoal filter pro-
vides additional protecti on by filtering gaseous
pollutants from the outs ide air. Your BMW cen-
ter replaces this combined filter during routine
maintenance.
Parked car ventilation
The concept
The parked car ventilation provides ventilation
to the passenger compartment and lowers its
temperature, if necessary.
For any outside temperatur e, the system can be
switched on or off directly or via a preset
switch-on time. It will remain on for 30 minutes.
Due to its high power consumption, the parked
car ventilation system sh ould not be switched
on twice in a row without driving in between to
allow the battery to recharge.
Open the vents so that air can flow out.
They can be operated via iDrive.

Destination guidance
Navigation
Additional information in the map view
Depending on the map scale, a traffic obstruc-
tion's length, direction
and impact are displayed
on the map using triangles or gray bars along
the calculated route.
> Red: traffic congestion
> Orange: stop-and-go traffic
> Yellow: heavy traffic
> Green: clear roads
> Gray: general traffic information, e.g.
construction zone
The bulletins displayed depend in the respec-
tive traffic information service.

5. Select the desired categories.
Traffic bulletins from th e selected categories
are displayed on the map.
> Traffic bulletins that lie on the route are
always shown.
> For your personal safety, it is not possible to
hide traffic bulletins that announce a poten-
tial hazard.
Route guidance with traffic bulletins
Semi-dynamic route guidance
With traffic bulletin re ception switched on,
semi-dynamic route guidance is active.
The system takes into ac count the existing traf-
fic bulletins during route guidance. A message
is displayed as a function of the route, the traffic
bulletins, and the possible alternate routes. In
the event of a traffic obstruction, an alternate
route will be suggested if possible.
The upper part of the message shows:
> The symbol of the first traffic obstruction,
possibly with the remaining distance before
the start of the traffic obstruction.
> Total length of traffic obstructions on the
route.
> Extension of driving ti me due to the traffic
obstructions
The lower part of the message shows:
> Suggested alternate route with remaining
distance before the st art of the alternate
route.
> Difference of the route length compared to
the original route.
> Time gained by taking the alternate route
compared to the original route with the
traffic obstructions.
In addition to the original route displayed in
white, the split screen will also show the alter-
nate route.
Taking an alternate route:
"Detour"
With particular hazards, e.g. objects on the
roadway, a message is displayed without a
possible alternate route.

Replacing components
Mobility
When working on electrical systems,
always begin by switching off the con-
sumer in question; otherwise, short-circuits
could result. To avoid possible injury or equip-
ment damage when replacing bulbs, observe
any instructions provided by the bulb
manufacturer. <
For care of the headla mps, please follow the
instructions in the ch apter entitled 'Care'.
To replace lamps not described here,
please contact your BMW center. <
Light-emitting diodes LED
Light-emitting diodes installed behind translu-
cent lenses serve as the light source for many of
the controls, displays, and equipment in your
vehicle. These light-emitting diodes, which
operate using a concept similar to that applied
in conventional lasers, are officially designated
as Class 1 light-emitting diodes.
Do not remove the co vers or expose the
eyes directly to the unfiltered light source
for several hours; otherw ise, this could cause
irritation of the retina. <
Headlight lenses
In cool or humid weather, condensation may
form on the interior of outside lamps. The con-
densation will disappear after a short time when
driving with the headlamps switched on. The
headlamp glasses do not need to be changed.
If the headlamps do not defrost despite driving
with the headlamps switch ed on, and additional
moisture builds up, for example water droplets
in the lamps, have them checked by your BMW
center.
Xenon lamps
These bulbs have a very lo ng service life and are
highly unlikely to fail. If a xenon lamp fails never-
theless, switch on the fog lamps and continue
the journey with great ca re, provided that local
legislation does not prohibit this. Have all work on the xenon lamp system,
including bulb replacements, performed
only by your BMW center . Due to high voltage,
there is a risk of fatal injury if work on the xenon
lamps is carried out improperly. <
Access to the lamps
1.Switch off the lamps and take the remote
control out of the ignition lock.
2. Remove the upper co ver from the head-
lamp. To do so, use a screwdriver to press
the catches towards the rear, see arrows,
and pull the cover forward and out.
Follow the same steps in reverse order to
reattach the cover. Be careful when installing the cover;
otherwise, leaks co uld occur and cause
damage to the headlamp system. <
Parking lamps and roadside parking
lamps, daytime running lights
These lamps use LED technology for operation.
If they malfunction, please contact your BMW
center.
Corner-illuminating lamps
H3 bulb, 55 watts
1.Switch off the lamps and take the remote
control out of the ignition lock.
2. Remove the cover, re fer to Access to the
lamps.
