Air conditioning
The air is cooled and
dehumidified and —
depending on the temperature setting —
warmed again. Depending on the
weather, the windshield may fog over
briefly when the engine is started. You
can reduce condensation forming on
the windows by switching on the air
conditioning.
During air conditioning condensa-
tion forms, which then exits under
the vehicle. Traces of condensed water
of this kind are thus normal.<
Maximum cooling
You will get maximum cool-
ing capacity using this pro-
gram if the engine is running and
the outside temperature is above
approx. 417/56.
The temperature display 9 jumps to
+607/166, the system switches over
to the recirculated-air mode, and the air
streams out of the ventilation grill with
the maximum air supply. That is why
you need to keep these open if you
select this program.
AUC Automatic recirculated-air
control
You can respond to
unpleasant odors or pollut-
ants in the immediate environment by
temporarily suspending the supply of
outside air. The system then recircu-
lates the air currently within the vehicle.
Press the button repeatedly to run
through the following control sequence
>Indicator lamps off: outside air supply
operational
>Left indicator lamp on, AUC mode:
the system recognizes pollutants 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-hand indicator lamp on: the
outside air supply into the vehicle is
completely blocked. The system then
recirculates the air currently within
the vehicle.
With the button on the steering wheel
you can also switch between Off and
recirculated-air mode or AUC and recir-
culated-air mode, refer to page 23.
If the windows fog over in the
recirculated-air mode, switch the
recirculated-air mode 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 win-
dow defroster switches off automati-
cally.

Coolant
Do not add coolant to the cooling
system when the engine is hot.
Escaping coolant can cause burns.<
Coolant consists of water and coolant
additive. Not all commercially available
additives are suitable for your BMW.
Ask your BMW Sport Activity Vehicle
center for suitable additives.
Only use suitable additives, as
otherwise engine damage may
result. The additives present a health
hazard.<
Always observe all applicable
environmental rules and regula-
tions when disposing of used coolant
additives.<
Checking coolant level 1. The engine must be at ambient tem-
perature
2. Start by turning the cap of the expan-
sion tank counter-clockwise. Pause
to allow any accumulated pressure to
escape, then open
3. The coolant level is correct when the
end of the red float is aligned with
the upper edge of the filler opening,
refer to the arrow in the illustration,
or max. 0.8 in/2 cm higher, i. e. up to
the mark on the float, refer also to the
schematic diagram, next to the cap530us102
4. If the coolant is low, slowly add cool-
ant up to the specified level – do not
overfill
5. Twist closed the cap and tighten
firmly
6. Have the reason for the coolant loss
eliminated as soon as possible.
