NoteSufficient ventilation
When remaining in the vehicle for an ex‐
tended period of time, ensure sufficient exter‐
nal ventilation. Do not continuously use recir‐
culated-air mode; otherwise the air quality in
the interior continuously worsens.◀
Comfortable interior climate For almost all conditions, the AUTO program
4 offers the optimum air distribution and air
flow rate, refer to AUTO program below. Select
a comfortable interior temperature only.
The following sections contain more detailed
information on the available setting options.
Most of these settings are stored for the re‐
mote control currently in use, Personal Profile
settings, refer to page 33.
Manual air distribution
Press the buttons repeatedly to select a pro‐
gram:▷Windows.▷Upper body region.▷Footwell.
The programs can be combined as necessary.
Temperature Turn the wheel to set the de‐
sired temperature.
The automatic climate control
achieves this temperature as
quickly as possible, if necessary
with the maximum cooling or heating capacity,
and then keeps it constant.
Avoid rapidly switching between different tem‐
perature settings. The automatic climate con‐
trol will not have sufficient time to adjust the
set temperature.
Maximum heating power can be obtained with
the highest setting, regardless of the external
temperature.
At the lowest setting, cooling is continuous, re‐
gardless of the external temperature.
Maximum cooling Press the button.
The system is set to the lowest tem‐
perature, maximum air volume and recircu‐
lated-air mode.
Air flows out of the vents for the upper body
region. Open them for this purpose.
Air is cooled as quickly as possible:▷At an external temperature of approx.
32 ℉/0 ℃.▷When the engine is running.
AUTO program
Press the button.
Air volume, air distribution, and tem‐
perature are controlled automatically.
Depending on the selected temperature,
AUTO intensity, and outside influences, the air
is directed to the windshield, side windows,
upper body, and into the footwell.
The cooling function is switched on automati‐
cally with the AUTO program.
At the same time, a condensation sensor con‐
trols the program in such a way that window
condensation is prevented as much as possi‐
ble.
To switch off the program: press the button
again or manually adjust the air distribution.
Intensity of the AUTO programWith the AUTO program switched on, auto‐
matic control of the air volume and air distribu‐
tion can be adjusted:
Seite 111ClimateControls111
Online Edition for Part no. 01 40 2 954 052 - II/15

Press the left or right side of the but‐
ton: decrease or increase the inten‐
sity.
The selected intensity is shown on the display
of the automatic climate control.
Air volume, manual To be able to manually adjust the air volume,
switch off the AUTO program first.
Press the left or right side of the but‐
ton: decrease or increase air volume.
The selected air volume is shown on the dis‐
play of the automatic climate control.
The air volume of the automatic climate control
may be reduced automatically to save battery
power.
Automatic recirculated air mode/
recirculated air mode
You can respond to unpleasant odors or pollu‐ tants in the immediate environment by tempo‐
rarily suspending the supply of outside air. The
system then recirculates the air currently
within the vehicle.
Press the button repeatedly to select
an operating mode:▷LEDs off: outside air flows in continuously.▷Left LED on, automatic recirculated-air
control: a sensor detects pollutants in the
outside air and controls the shutoff auto‐
matically.▷Right LED on, recirculated air mode: the
supply of outside air into the vehicle is per‐
manently blocked.
If the windows are fogged over, switch off
the recirculated-air mode and press the
AUTO button to utilize the condensation
sensor. Make sure that air can flow onto
the windshield.Via the button on the steering wheel
A button on the steering wheel can be used to
quickly switch between recirculated air mode
and the previous setting.
ALL program Press the button.
The current temperature setting for
the driver's side is transferred to the front pas‐
senger side.
If the temperature setting is changed on the
driver's side, the temperature on the front pas‐
senger side changes as well.
The program is switched off if the setting is
changed on the front passenger side or the
button is pressed again.
Defrosting and defogging windows Press the button.
Ice and condensation are quickly re‐
moved from the windshield and the front side
windows.
For this purpose, also switch on the cooling
function.
Cooling function
The passenger compartment can only be
cooled with the engine running.
Press the button.
The air is cooled and dehumidified
and – depending on the temperature setting –
warmed again.
Depending on the weather, the windshield may
fog up briefly when the engine is started.
The cooling function is switched on automati‐
cally with the AUTO program.
When using the automatic climate control,
condensation water, refer to page 134, devel‐
ops that exits underneath the vehicle.Seite 112ControlsClimate112

Rear window defrosterPress the button.
The rear window defroster switches
off automatically after a certain period of time.
Switching the system on/off
Switching off Press and hold the left button or, with
the setting at the lowest level, press
the left button.
All displays are cleared except for the rear win‐
dow defroster if it is switched on.
When the automatic climate control is
switched off, the supply of outside air is sus‐
pended. If the air quality deteriorates or the
window fogs over, switch the system back on
and increase the air flow rate.
Switching on Press any button, except for the buttons for
the ALL program or rear window heating.
Ventilation1Use the thumbwheels to smoothly open
and close the air vents2Use the lever to change the direction of the
air flow
Ventilation for cooling
Adjust the vent to direct the air in your direc‐
tion, e.g., if the vehicle interior is hot from the
sun.
Draft-free ventilation
Adjust the vent to let the air flow past you.
Microfilter/activated-charcoal filter
The microfilter traps dust and pollen in the in‐
coming air.
The activated-charcoal filter removes gaseous
pollutants from the outside air that enters the
vehicle.
Your service center replaces this combined fil‐
ter during routine maintenance.
Parked-car ventilation The conceptThe parked-car ventilation blows air into the
passenger compartment to lower interior tem‐
peratures.
The system can be switched on and off at any
external temperature, either directly or by us‐
ing a preset switch-on time. It remains
switched on for 30 minutes.
Since the system uses a substantial amount of
electrical current, refrain from activating it
twice in succession without allowing the bat‐
tery to be recharged in normal operation be‐
tween use.
Open the vents to allow air to flow out.
They can be operated via iDrive.

Oil changeThe manufacturer of your vehicle recommends
having the engine oil changed by a service
center.
Coolant
General information Danger of burns from hot engine
Do not open the cooling system while
the engine is hot; otherwise, escaping coolant
may cause burns.◀
Suitable additives
Only use suitable additives; otherwise,
engine damage may occur. The additives are
harmful to your health.◀
Coolant consists of water and additives.
Not all commercially available additives are
suitable for your vehicle. Ask your service cen‐
ter for suitable additives.
Checking the coolant level
1.Do not open the hood until the engine has
cooled down.2.Turn the expansion tank cap counterclock‐
wise slightly to allow any accumulatedpressure to escape; then continue turning
to open.3.The filling level indicator 1 in the filler neck
indicates the coolant level. The coolant
level is correct if it is between the arrows of
the respective reservoir label 2.4.If the coolant is low, slowly add coolant up
to the specified level; do not overfill.5.Turn the cap until there is an audible click.6.Have the cause of the coolant loss elimi‐
nated as soon as possible.
Disposal
Comply with the appropriate environ‐
mental protection regulations when dis‐
posing of coolant additives.
