Automatic climate controlTips for pleasant drivingUse the automatic system (switch on
with AUTO button 6). Select the desired
interior temperature.
The following description will lead you
through additional individual adjust-
ments.
Your BMW center can program
the settings of your vehicle in such
a manner that, when you unlock the
vehicle with your individualized key,
your own personalized setting for the
automatic climate control is initiated. The AUTO program
assumes the adjustment of
the air distribution and the air supply for
you and Ð in addition to that Ð adapts
the temperature to external influences
(summer, winter) to meet preferences
you can specify.
Individual air distribution
You also have the option of
individually configuring the
air distribution pattern to
suit your own personal pref-
erences. While the AUTO
program is then deactivated, the auto-
matic airflow control remains in opera-
tion. The system directs air to the
windows , the upper body and
into the footwells . You can reacti-
vate the automatic air distribution mode
by selecting the AUTO button.
Temperature
You can make individual
temperature adjustments on
the driver's side or the front
passenger side. The figures in the
display provide a general indication of
interior temperature. We recommend a
setting of 72 7 (22 6) for a congenial
interior climate, even when the air
conditioner is in operation. When you
start the vehicle, the system ensures
that the selected temperature is
achieved as quickly as possible. It then
maintains this temperature, regardless
of the season.
Air supply
In the AUTO program, the
airflow is controlled auto-
matically. AUTO will appear in display
9, refer to the overview on page 87.
Use "+" and "Ð" to vary the airflow. Your
setting is displayed with bars and the
automatic air supply is switched off.
The automatic air distribution setting is
maintained. You can reactivate the
automatic air supply by pressing the
AUTO button.
When you press "Ð" during operation at
the lowest blower speed, all displays
are canceled: the blower, heating and
air conditioning are switched off. The
outside air supply is deactivated. By
pressing the desired button on the
automatic climate control (except MAX
button 16), you can switch the system
back on.
To defrost windows and remove
condensation
This program quickly
removes ice and conden-
sation from the windshield and the side
windows.

Automatic climate control Air conditioning
The air is cooled and
dehumidified and Ð
depending on the temperature setting Ð
warmed again when the air conditioning
is switched on.
Depending on the weather, the wind-
shield may fog over briefly when the
engine is started. You can reduce
condensation forming on the windows
by switching on the air conditioning.
Condensation forms in the air
conditioning during operation,
which then exits under the vehicle.
Traces of condensed water of this kind
are thus normal.<
Maximum cooling
At outside temperatures
above roughly 41 7 (5 6)
this program furnishes maximum
cooling whenever the engine is running.
The temperature displays 9 jump to
60 7 (16 6), the system reverts to
operating in the recirculated-air mode
and maximum airflow emerges from the
ventilation outlets only. That is why you
need to keep these open if you select
this program.
Automatic recirculated-air control
You can respond to
unpleasant external odors
by temporarily excluding the flow of
outside air. The system then recircu-
lates the air currently within the vehicle.
By repeated actuations of the button,
you can select one of three different
operation modes.
>Indicator lamps off: outside airflow
operational
>Left-hand indicator lamp on Ð AUC
mode: the system recognizes pollut-
ants in the outside air and blocks the
flow of air when necessary. The
system then recirculates the air
currently within the vehicle.
Depending on the air quality, the
automatic system then switches back
and forth between outside air supply
and recirculation of the air within the
vehicle
>Right indicator lamp on Ð recircu-
lated-air mode: the flow of external air
into the vehicle is permanently
blocked. The system then recirculates
the air currently within the vehicle.
If the windows should fog over in
the recirculated-air mode, switch
it off and increase the air supply as
required.<
Rear window defroster
When the rear window
defroster is activated, the
indicator lamp comes on. The rear
window defroster switches off automat-
ically.
Residual heat mode
The heat which is stored in
the engine is utilized for
heating the interior when the engine
has been switched off (while waiting at
a railroad crossing, for instance). In
ignition key position 1, you can alter the
settings of the automatic climate
control. With the ignition key in posi-
tion 0, the system automatically directs
heated air to the windshield, side
windows and footwells.
This function is available for oper-
ation when the outside tempera-
ture is below approximately 59 7
(15 6), with the engine warm from
recent operation and an adequate
charge in the battery. The LED on the
button will light up when all conditions
have been met.<

Parked-car ventilation

To actuate, press the button briefly with
ignition key in position 1. Sun blinds for rear side windows

Use the strap to pull out the blinds, then
hook them in the provided attachment.39mde122
It will ventilate the interior, reducing the
temperature through the use of the
automatic climate control fans, when-
ever the vehicle is not in operation.
The parked-car ventilation system is
operated via the Multi-Information
Display (MID) Ð refer to page 72 Ð or the
onboard computer. Refer to the
"Onboard Computer Owner's Manual."
You may preselect two different activa-
tion times. The ventilation will remain
activated for 30 minutes. You can also
turn it on and off directly. Since the
system uses a substantial amount of
electrical current, you should refrain
from activating it twice in succession
without allowing the battery to be
recharged in normal operation between
use.
The parked-car ventilation is available
for timer-controlled operation whenever
outside temperatures exceed 60 7
(16 6), and can also be activated
manually at any temperature. It oper-
ates only when the vehicle is stationary.The air emerges via the air outlets for
the upper body. Therefore, the air
outlets must be open for the system to
operate.
You can adjust the airflow volume and
the air distribution when the ignition key
is in position 1.

OverviewControlsMaintenanceRepairsDataIndex
The conceptThe BMW Universal Transmitter
replaces up to 3 hand-held transmitters,
e.g. for garage-door openers, alarm
systems or a door-locking system. The
BMW Universal Transmitter recognizes
and "learns" the signal transmitted from
each of the original hand-held transmit-
ters.
The signal of an original hand-held
transmitter can be programmed to one
of three channel keys. Following that,
each of the devices can be actuated
with the appropriately-programmed
channel key. The indicator lamp flashes
to confirm transmission of the signal.
Before you sell your vehicle, the
program data in the channel keys
should be deleted. Refer to page 95 for
the description of this process.
To prevent potential injuries or
damage: during the programming
operation and before every remote trig-
gering of a programmed device using
the BMW Universal Transmitter, be sure
that there are no persons, animals or
objects within the range of movement of
the respective device. Read and comply
with the safety instructions for the orig-
inal hand-held transmitter also.<
To Canadian residents
During programming, your hand-
held transmitter may automatically stop
transmitting after two seconds. This
may not be long enough to program the
BMW Universal Transmitter. If you are
programming from one of these hand-
held transmitters, the BMW Universal
Transmitter's light may begin to flash in
a series of double-blinks. If this occurs,
continue to hold the key on the BMW
Universal Transmitter while you reacti-
vate your hand-held transmitter. You
may have to repeat this function several
times while programming.<
Before programming, read the
"User's information" section on
page 95.<
The original hand-held transmitter
If this symbol is depicted on the
packaging or in the user's
instructions for the original
hand-held transmitter, it may be
assumed that this original hand-held
transmitter is compatible with the BMW
Universal Transmitter.
Checking for the change codeIn order to determine whether the orig-
inal hand-held transmitter is equipped
with a change code system, you may
either refer to the instructions for the
original hand-held transmitter or
program a channel key as described in
the left-hand column on page 94 under
"Programming."
Following that, press and hold the
programmed channel key on the BMW
Universal Transmitter. If the indicator
lamp on the BMW Universal Transmitter
flashes rapidly for two seconds and
then stays on continuously, the original
hand-held transmitter is equipped with
a change code system. If the change
code system is available, program the
channel keys as described on page 94
in the right-hand column under
"Programming a hand-held transmitter
with change code."
If you have additional questions,
please consult your BMW center
or call 1-800-355-3515.<

Lamps and bulbs Repairing a flat tire
Precautions in case of a flat tire:
Stop the vehicle as far as possible
from passing traffic. Switch on the
hazard warning flashers.
Turn the steering wheel to the straight-
ahead position, remove the key and
engage the steering lock. Shift into 1st
or reverse and engage the parking
brake.
All passengers should be outside the
vehicle and well away from your imme-
diate working area (behind a guardrail,
for instance).
If necessary, set up your warning
triangle or portable hazard warning
lamp on the roadside at an appropriate
distance from the rear of the vehicle.
Comply with all safety guidelines and
regulations.<
M Mobility systemFor repairing a flat tire, you will find an
M Mobility system in the BMW M5. With
the aid of this system, you can apply a
liquid sealant to the inside of the tire,
thereby sealing off the damaged area,
and then continue driving.
The M Mobility system makes the trans-
port of a spare wheel superfluous and
minimizes the curb weight.
The M Mobility system is located in the
luggage compartment under the floor
mat:
1. Lift up the floor mat and then raise
the front cover panel
2. Loosen the M Mobility system from
its storage location.
Please note that the system's
sealant container must be
replaced every three years by your
BMW center if the device is not used.<39mde132
