For you own safety

Use unleaded gasoline only. Fuels
containing up to and including 10 %
ethanol or other oxygenates with up to
2.8 % oxygen by weight Ð that is, 15 %
MTBE or 3% methanol plus an equivalent
amount of co-solvent Ð will not void the
applicable warranties respecting defects in
materials or workmanship. Field experi-
ence has indicated significant differences
in fuel quality Ð volatility, composition, addi-
tives, etc. Ð among gasolines offered for
sale in the United States and Canada. The
use of poor quality fuels may result in drive-
ability, starting and stalling problems espe-
cially under certain environmental
conditions such as high ambient tempera-
ture and high altitude.
Should you encounter driveability prob-
lems which you suspect could be related to
the fuel you are using, we recommend that
you respond by switching to a recognized
high-quality brand.
Failure to comply with these recommenda-
tions may result in unscheduled mainte-
nance.
Follow the relevant safety rules when you
are handling gasoline.

Important safety information
For your own safety, use genuine
parts and accessories approved by
BMW.
When you purchase accessories tested
and approved by BMW and Original BMW
Parts, you simultaneously acquire the
assurance that they have been thoroughly
tested by BMW to ensure optimum perfor-
mance when installed on your vehicle.
BMW warrants these parts to be free from
defects in material and workmanship.
BMW will not accept any liability for
damage resulting from installation of parts
and accessories not approved by BMW.
BMW cannot test every product made by
other manufacturers to verify if it can be
used on a BMW safely and without risk to
either the vehicle, its operation, or its occu-
pants. Original BMW Parts, BMW Accesso-
ries and other products approved by BMW,
together with professional advice on using
these items, are available from all BMW

Installation and operation of non-BMW
approved accessories such as alarms,
radios, amplifiers, radar detectors, wheels,
suspension components, brake dust
shields, telephones Ð including operation of
any portable cellular phone from within the
vehicle without using an externally
mounted antenna Ð or transceiver equip-
ment, for instance, CBs, walkie-talkie, ham
radio or similar accessories, may cause
extensive damage to the vehicle, compro-
mise its safety, interfere with the vehicle's
electrical system or affect the validity of the
BMW Limited Warranty. See your BMW

Temperature adjustment
You can turn to select the
desired temperatures for the
driver's and passenger sides.
Your settings appear in the
Control Display's status line.
The figures in the display provide a general
indication of interior temperature. 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.
Defrost windows and clear them of
condensation
This program quickly removes
ice and condensation from the
windshield and door windows.
To adjust air supply manually
You can adjust the air supply by
turning. The automatic air
supply control is operational
whenever you see your selec-
tion represented by a bar in the
Control Display's status line. The automatic
air distribution remains in operation as
before. You can reactivate the automatic
air supply mode with the AUTO button.
Air conditioner operation
The air conditioner cools and
dehumidifies the incoming air
before also reheating it as
required, according to temperature setting.
Depending on the weather, the windshield
may fog over briefly when the engine is
started.
The air conditioner comes on automatically
when you select the AUTO program.
Maximum cooling
Select this program to obtain
maximum cooling as quickly as
possible.
The temperature display reverts
to 61 7 (16 6) while the system switches
to the recirculated-air mode and starts to
provide maximum air supply through the instrument panel outlets only. For this
reason you should ensure that these
outlets are open before selecting this
program.
Outside air/AUC Automatic recircu-
lated-air control/Recirculated air
You can respond to unpleasant
odors or pollutants in the imme-
diate environment by tempo-
rarily suspending the flow of outside air.
The system then recirculates the air
currently within the vehicle. AUC executes
this function automatically.
Press the button repeatedly to run through
the following control sequence:
>Indicator lamps off: outside air flows into
the vehicle
>Left-hand indicator lamp on Ð AUC
mode: the system detects pollutants in the
outside air and responds by deactivating
the outside air supply when required. The
system then recirculates the air currently
within the vehicle.
Depending upon air quality, in the auto-
matic mode the system may start to alter-
nate between its outside-air and
recirculated-air modes
>Right-hand indicator lamp on Ð Recircu-
lated-air mode: the supply of outside air
into the vehicle is permanently blocked.
The system then recirculates the air
currently within the vehicle.
If condensation starts to form on the
inside window surfaces during opera-
tion in the recirculated-air mode, you
should switch it off while also increasing air
supply as required.<
Residual heat mode
The system uses the warmth
stored in the engine to heat the
interior when the ignition is off,
for instance, while the vehicle is
stopped at a school to pick up a
child.
You can adjust the automatic climate
control's settings when the ignition lock is
in the radio mode. The system blows

A congenial climate
102 heated air into the interior in accordance
with the selected distribution pattern while
the ignition is off.
Provided that the engine has warmed
to its normal operating temperature
and the battery is charged, you can use this
function for up to 15 minutes after
switching off the ignition. The LED within
the button lights up to confirm compliance
with both of these conditions.<
Front ventilation You can adjust the vent outlets for the
upper body to suit your personal require-
ments.
You can use the serrated dials 1 to open
and close the outlets through an infinitely-
variable range, while the serrated dials 2
allow you to adjust the airflow direction. Ventilation for cooling Adjust the vent outlets to direct the flow of
cool air in your direction, for instance, if the
interior has become too warm, etc.Draft-free ventilationSet the vent outlets so that the air flows
past you and is not directed straight at you.
The airflow temperatures for the indi-
vidual upper-body vent outlets can be
adjusted separately in the Control Display,
refer to page 104.
When the vent outlets are completely
closed, the vents at the top of the cockpit
provide indirect ventilation for the
passenger compartment.<
Ventilation for storage compartment
in front armrest You can use the serrated dial in the storage
compartment to open and close the vent
outlet.
Depending upon the temperatures
selected at the rear dials, high
temperatures may occur in the storage
compartment. Close the vent as required.< Rear ventilation The serrated dials 1 allow you to open and
close the ventilation outlets through an infi-
nitely-variable range.
You can adjust the airflow direction using
the levers 2
The serrated dials 3
* control the amount of
cooled air in the flow from the vent outlets:
Turn toward blue sector Ð colder
Turn toward red sector Ð warmer
This function allows you to make minor
adjustments for maximum comfort while
also letting you vary temperatures within
the storage compartment.
