Climate

Air distribution, manual
You can use various programs to separately 
direct the emerging airflow to the driver and 
passenger side of the vehicle interior.
>Upper body region
>Upper body region and footwell
>Footwell
>Driver's side: also the windshield, side win-
dows, and footwell
Selecting program
Press the button repeatedly until 
the desired program is shown on 
the Control Display.
1Air toward the windshield and side windows
2Air for the upper body
3Air to footwell
Pressing the AUTO button cancels the 
manual air distribution settings.<
The automatic mode for the air volume remains 
effective with manual air distribution.
Switching cooling function on and off
The cooling function cools and 
dehumidifies the incoming air 
before also reheating it as 
required, according to the temperature setting. 
This function is only available when the engine 
is running.
The cooling function helps to avoid condensa-
tion on the window surfaces or to quickly 
remove them.
Depending on the weather, the windshield may 
fog over briefly when the engine is started.The cooling function is switched on automati-
cally with the AUTO program.
Maximum cooling
Maximally cooled air is obtained as 
quickly as possible at an outside 
temperature above approx. 327/
06 and with the engine running.
The automatic climate control switches into the 
recirculated-air mode at the lowest tempera-
ture. The maximum air volume flows out of the 
air vents for the upper body. Therefore, open 
these vents for maximum cooling.
AUC Automatic recirculated-air 
control/recirculated-air mode
You can respond to pollutants or 
unpleasant odors in the immediate 
environment by suspending the 
supply of outside air. The system 
then recirculates the air currently within the 
vehicle. During AUC operation, a sensor 
detects pollutants in the outside air and con-
trols the shut-off automatically.
By pressing the button repeatedly, you can 
request three operating modes:
>LED off: outside air flows in continuously.
>Left LED on, AUC mode: the system 
detects pollutants in the outside air and 
shuts off the supply as needed.
>Right LED on, recirculated-air mode: the 
supply of outside air is permanently shut off.
Should the windows fog up in the recircu-
lated-air mode, press the AUTO button or 
switch off the recirculated-air mode and 
increase the air volume if necessary. 
The recirculated-air mode should not be used 
without interruption over an extended period of 
time, as the air quality inside the vehicle deteri-
orates continuously.<

red interface.
To enable optimal use of the infrared interface, 
use infrared headphones that comply with the 
IEC 61603-2 standard.
>Compatible infrared headphones and infor-
mation about supported headphones are 
available at your BMW Sports Activity Vehi-
cle Center.
When using infrared headphones, it is 
important not to interrupt the infrared 
connection between the headphones and the 
infrared interface, refer to page187. This 
means that no obstacle should come between 
the two and that the cover of the infrared inter-
face should not be covered or scratched. Unfa-
vorable lighting conditions such as glare from 
outside can interfere with reception.<
