Intensity of AUTO program
You can adjust the intensity of the AUTO pro-
gram by repeatedly pressing the AUTO button. 
When you press the button on the display of the 
automatic climate control, the current setting 
appears on the Control Display.
Select the intensity of the AUTO program:

Temperature
Set the desired temperature indi-
vidually on the driver's and front 
passenger side.
The automatic climate control 
adjusts this temperature as quickly as possible 
at any time of year, if necessary with the maxi-
mum cooling or heating capacity, and then 
keeps it constant.
In the highest setting you activate the maximum 
heating capacity, regardless of the outside tem-
perature. And in the lowest setting, the maxi-
mum cooling capacity.
When switching between different tem-
perature settings in rapid succession, the 
automatic climate control does not have suffi-
cient time to adjust the set temperature.<
Adapting Ventilation temperature
This function allows you to adapt the interior 
temperature separately for the driver and pas-
senger when the automatic climate control is 
switched off.
Use the controller on the Control Display to 
adjust the ventilation temperature.To accomplish this, the access the Ventilation 
temperature setting manually via the buttons 
for air distribution, refer to page108, or via 
iDrive.

2."Climate"
3.Select "Driver ventilation" or "Front pas-
senger ventilation".
4.Turn the controller to adjust the tempera-
ture.

condensation
Quickly remove ice and condensa-
tion from the windshield and front

while. Depending on the vehicle 
equipment, upper wires are used 
as an antenna and are not part of the rear win-
dow defroster.

Integrated universal remote 
control*
The concept
The integrated universal remote control can 
replace as many as three hand-held transmit-
ters for various remote-controlled accessories, 
such as garage and gate or lighting systems. 
The integrated universal remote control regis-
ters and stores signals from the original hand-
held transmitters.
The signal of an original hand-held transmitter 
can be programmed on one of the three mem-
ory buttons1. Then with the ignition switched 
on, this programmed memory button1 can be 
used to operate the respective feature. The 
LED2 flashes to confirm transmission of the 
signal.
Should you sell your vehicle one day, be sure to 
delete the stored programs beforehand for your 
safety, refer to page116.
To prevent possible damage or injury, 
before programming or using the inte-
grated universal remote control, always inspect 
the immediate area to make certain that no peo-
ple, animals or objects are within the travel 
range of the device. Also, comply with the 
safety precautions of the original hand-held 
transmitter.<
Checking compatibility
If you see this symbol on the packaging 
or in the manual supplied with the orig-
inal hand-held transmitter, it is safe to 
assume that it is compatible with the integrated 
universal remote control.
Should you have additional questions, 
please contact your BMW Sports Activity 
Vehicle Center or call: 1-800-355-3515.

Programming
1Memory buttons
2LED
Fixed-code hand-held transmitters
1.Switch on ignition, refer to page59.
2.When starting operation for the first time: 
press the left and right-hand memory but-
ton 1 for approx. 20 seconds until the LED2 
flashes quickly. All stored programs are 
deleted.
3.Hold the original hand-held transmitter at 
a distance of approx. 4 in/10 cm to 12 in/
30 cm from the memory buttons1.
The required distance between the 
hand-held transmitter and the mem-
ory buttons1 depends on the relevant sys-
tem of the original hand-held transmitter 
used.<
4.Simultaneously press the transmit button 
on the original hand-held transmitter and 
the desired memory button1 on the inte-
grated universal remote control. The LED 2 
flashes slowly at first. As soon as the LED2 
flashes rapidly, release both buttons. If the 
LED2 does not flash rapidly after approx. 
15 seconds, alter the distance and repeat 
the step.
5.To program other original hand-held trans-
mitters, repeat steps 3 and 4.

116 The corresponding memory button1 is now 
programmed with the signal of the original 
hand-held transmitter.
You can operate the device when the engine is 
running or when the ignition is switched on.
If the device cannot be used after 
repeated programming, check whether 
the original hand-held transmitter uses an alter-
nating-code system. To do so, either read the 
instructions for the original hand-held transmit-
ter or hold down the programmed memory but-
ton 1 of the integrated universal remote control. 
If the LED2 on the integrated universal remote 
control flashes rapidly for a short time and then 
remains lit for approx. 2 seconds, this indicates 
that the original hand-held transmitter uses an 
alternating-code system. In the case of an alter-
nating-code system, program the memory but-
tons 1 as described at Alternating-code hand-
held transmitters.<
Alternating-code hand-held 
transmitters
To program the integrated universal remote 
control, consult the operating instructions for 
the equipment to be set. You will find informa-
tion there on the possibilities for synchroniza-
tion.
When programming hand-held transmitters 
that employ an alternating code, observe the 
following supplementary instructions:
Programming will be easier with the aid of 
a second person.<
1.Park your vehicle within the range of the 
remote-controlled device.
2.Program the integrated universal remote 
control as described above in the section 
Fixed-code hand-held transmitters.
3.Locate the button on the receiver of the 
device to be set, e.g. on the drive unit.
4.Press the button on the receiver of the 
device to be set. After step 4, you have 
approx. 30 seconds for step 5.
5.Press the programmed memory button1 
of the integrated universal remote control 
three times.The corresponding memory button1 is now 
programmed with the signal of the original 
hand-held transmitter.
Should you have questions, please con-
tact your BMW Sports Activity Vehicle 
Center.<
Deleting all stored programs
Press the left and right-hand memory button1 
for approx. 20 seconds until the LED2 flashes 
quickly:
All stored programs are deleted.
Reassigning individual programs
1.Hold the original hand-held transmitter at 
a distance of approx. 4 in/10 cm to 12 in/
30 cm from the memory buttons1.
The required distance between the 
hand-held transmitter and the mem-
ory buttons1 depends on the relevant sys-
tem of the original hand-held transmitter 
used.<
2.Press the desired memory button1 of the 
integrated universal remote control.
3.When the LED2 flashes slowly after approx. 
20 seconds, press the transmit button of 
the original hand-held transmitter. Release 
both buttons as soon as the LED2 flashes 
rapidly. If the LED2 does not flash rapidly 
after approx. 15 seconds, alter the distance 
and repeat the step.

Weather Radio*
Weather Radio is a service of the National Oce-
anic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) 
of the US Department of Trade. Weather 
reports are repeated every 4 to 6 minutes and 
are routinely updated every 1 to 3 hours, more 
frequently as needed. Most stations operate 24 
hours a day. In case of a storm, the National 
Weather Service interrupts the routine weather 
news and transmits special warning messages 
instead. If you have a question about NOAA 
Weather Radio, please contact the nearest 
office of the National Weather Service. Details 
are also provided on the Internet at 
www.nws.noaa.gov.
