Air conditionerDraft-free ventilation You can adjust the vent outlets for the
upper body area completely for your
personal comfort:
1 Rotary dials for opening and closing
the vent outlets through an infinitely-
variable range
2 Levers for adjusting airflow direction
3 With the rotary dial you can adjust the
temperature of the incoming air:
>Turn toward blue Ð colder
>Turn toward red Ð warmer. 530de270
Rear passenger area ventilation1 Rotary dial for opening and closing
the vent outlets through an infinitely-
variable range
2 Levers for adjusting airflow direction.
The air that flows out here is somewhat
cooler than the air delivered to the foot-
well. Microfilter The microfilter removes dust and pollen
from the incoming air. It is replaced by
your BMW Sports Activity Vehicle
center during regular maintenance. A
substantial reduction in air supply indi-
cates that the filter must be replaced
before normal maintenance.530de271
To defrost windows and remove
condensation 1. You can specify an interior tempera-
ture that is comfortable for you with
the rotary temperature dial. A good
starting point is +72 7 (+22 6)
2. Set the air distribution rotary dial
to
3. Set the blower/air supply rotary dial
completely to the right

Automatic climate control
*
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 may be activated
when the outside temperature is
below approx. +59 7 (+15 6), the
engine is at operating temperature, and
the battery is adequately charged. The
LED on the button will light up when all
conditions have been met.<
Draft-free ventilation You can adjust the vent outlets for the
upper body area to select the optimum
airflow rates and directions for your
personal comfort:
1 Rotary dials for opening and closing
the vent outlets through an infinitely-

temperature of the incoming air.

Air supply 0 Blower off
I Maximum blower speed
You can adjust the air supply for the
vent outlets through an infinitely-vari-
able range between the "0" and "I"
settings.
In the "0" setting, the blower is
switched off and the supply of air
through the vent outlets is blocked.
Individual adjustments on the front-seat
control elements influence the air
supply for rear passenger area climate
control. 530de273
Temperature Passengers in the rear seating area can
adjust their own temperature for the
vent outlets:
>Turn toward blue Ð colder
>Turn toward red Ð warmer
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.
A temperature setting is only
possible when the blower is
switched on (not in the "0" setting).< 530de274
Microfilter, activated-charcoal
filter The microfilter removes dust and pollen
from the incoming air. The activated-
charcoal filter provides additional
protection by filtering gaseous pollut-
ants from the outside air. Your
BMW Sports Activity Vehicle center
replaces this combined filter as a stan-
dard part of your scheduled mainte-
nance. A substantial reduction in air
supply indicates that the filter must be
replaced before normal maintenance.
