Air to the upper body. You
can also adjust the vent
outlets for the upper body individually, see

Air to footwell To adjust temperature for the upper
body This function provides you with the option
of making minor adjustments to achieve
maximum comfort.
Use the temperature setting to adjust the
amount of cool air that is added to the
airflow emerging from the vent outlets for the upper body. We recommend a
moderate temperature setting, as cooler air
helps promote fatigue-free driving.

settings You can store your individual setting after
adjusting the air distribution manually.
Select "Memorize" and confirm your selec-
tion.
Now you can reselect the preset climate
that precisely reflects your personal
requirements.
Select and confirm "Individual." The AUTO
program is deactivated. Microfilter / activated-charcoal filter The microfilter removes dust and pollen
from the incoming air. The activated-char-
coal filter provides additional protection by
filtering gaseous pollutants from the
outside air. Your BMW center replaces this
combined filter as a standard part of your
scheduled maintenance.
You can select a display of more detailed
information in the Service Display, refer to
page 78.

Rear ventilation Use the lever 1 to vary the airflow direction.
For additional information on rear ventila-
tion options, refer to page 102. Parked-car ventilation
system

System operation is controlled using the
Control Display. You can set two different
times for the system to start.
The parked-car ventilation blows air into
the passenger compartment to lower inte-
rior temperatures.
The system remains on for 30 minutes. You
can also switch the system on and off
manually. Since the system uses a
substantial amount of electrical current,
you should refrain from activating it twice in
succession without allowing the battery to
be recharged in normal operation between
use.
The parked-car ventilation system is avail-
able for preprogrammed operation at
outside temperatures above approx. 50 7
(10 6) and for direct activation at any
temperature, but is not operational when
the vehicle is underway.
The air enters the passenger compartment
through the vent outlets in the instrument
panel, which can be adjusted for both
direction and airflow. These outlets must
be open for the system to operate.

Practical interior accessoriesUniversal Garage Door
Opener*

The concept The Universal Garage Door Opener can
replace as many as three hand-held trans-
mitters for various accessories, such as
door openers, alarms and door-locking
systems. The Universal Garage Door
Opener registers and stores signals from
the original hand-held transmitters.
The signal of an original hand-held trans-
mitter can be programmed on one of the
three channel keys. Following that, each of
the devices can be actuated with the
appropriately-programmed channel key.
The indicator lamp flashes to confirm trans-
mission of the signal.
If the vehicle is sold, the memory of the
channel keys should be cleared as
described on page 109.
To prevent possible damage or injury,
before programming or using the
Universal Garage Door Opener always
inspect the immediate area to make certain
that no people, animals or objects are
within the travel range of the device. Also,
comply with the safety precautions of the
original hand-held transmitter.< Original hand-held transmitter
If you see this symbol on the pack-
aging or in the manual supplied with
the original remote control unit, it is
safe to assume that it is compatible with
the Universal Garage Door Opener.
To check for alternating codes To determine whether the original hand-
held transmitter operates using an alter-
nating code, you should either consult the
manual enclosed with it or program a
channel key as described in the Program-
ming section. After programming, press and hold down
the key on the Universal Garage Door
Opener. If the indicator lamp on the
Universal Garage Door Opener flashes for
two seconds before remaining on continu-
ously, this indicates that the original hand-
held transmitter uses an alernating code. In
this case, you can program the channel
keys using the procedure described on the
next page in the section on programming
alternating-code transmitters.
If you have additional questions,
please consult your BMW center or
call 1-800-355-3515.
