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

Brake system Braking with ABS The best way to achieve optimal response
from the ABS is to apply maximum pres-
sure to the brake pedal during emergencyÐ
panic stops. Since the vehicle maintains
steering responsiveness, you can never-
theless avoid possible obstacles with a
minimum of steering effort.
Pulsation at the brake pedal combines with
sounds from the hydraulic circuits to indi-
cate to the driver that ABS is in its active
mode.
Do not drive with your foot resting on
the brake pedal. Even light but
consistent pedal pressure can lead to high
temperatures, brake wear and possibly
even brake failure.< Disc brakes
Driving in wet conditions While driving in wet conditions and in
heavy rain, it is a good idea to apply light
pressure to the brake pedal every few
miles. Monitor traffic conditions to ensure
that this maneuver does not endanger
other road users. The heat generated in this
process helps dry the pads and rotors to
ensure that full braking efficiency will then
be available when you need it. Hills You can retain full and unimpaired braking
efficiency by downshifting to a gear in
which only minimal brake applications are
needed when descending long or steep
downhill stretches.
You can further enhance the engine's
braking effect by selecting a lower gear in
the automatic transmission's manual
mode, downshifting as far as first gear on
extremely steep stretches, refer to
page 68. This strategy helps you avoid
placing excessive loads on the brake
system.
Corrosion When the vehicle is driven only occasion-
ally, during extended periods when the
vehicle is not used at all, and in operating
conditions where brake applications are
less frequent, there is an increased
tendency for corrosion to form on rotors,
while contaminants accumulate on the
brake pads. This occurs because the
minimal pressure which must be exerted by
the pads during brake applications to clean
the rotors is not reached.
Should corrosion form on the brake rotors,
the brakes will tend to respond with a
pulsating effect that even extended appli-
cation will fail to cure.
Never allow the vehicle to coast with
the transmission in neutral Ð or with
the engine switched off; there is no engine
braking when the transmission is in neutral,
and no power-assist for brakes and
steering when the engine is not running.
Never allow floor mats, carpets or any other
objects to protrude into the area around the
accelerator and brake pedals and obstruct
their movement.< Brake pads
If the brake pad wear indicator lamp
appears in the Check Control,
accompanied by a text: please take
careful note of the additional information in
the Control Display panel.
Warning lamp for Canadian models.
The brake pads have reached their
minimum pad thickness. Have them
replaced at your BMW center as soon as
possible.
For your own safety: use only brake
pads that BMW has released for your
particular vehicle model. Because BMW
cannot assess the suitability of other brake
pads for use on your vehicle, we are unable
to assume continued responsibility for the
vehicle's operating safety if non-approved
pads are installed.<

Navigation
124
NavigationSafetyBy allowing you to find your destination
without having to consult conventional
road maps as you drive, the navigation
system makes an important contribution to
traffic safety.
Enter data only when the vehicle is
stationary, and always obey all traffic
regulations and road signs in the event of
any contradiction between traffic or road
conditions and the instructions issued by
the navigation system. If you do not
observe this precaution, you may be in
violation of the law, and can endanger
vehicle occupants and other highway
users.< GPSGPS stands for Global Positioning System.
This integral component within your
vehicle's navigation system relies on refer-
ence satellites to determine the precise
location of your vehicle. The system oper-
ates by measuring the distance between
your vehicle and a minimum of three refer-
ence satellites.
The data monitored by the vehicle's
antenna and the GPS receiver are fed into
the navigation system's computer. The
computer then correlates the satellite posi-
tioning data with information furnished by
various other in-car systems such as the
ABS sensors, the inertial sensors and the
CD containing the system's digital road map to obtain a basis for its subsequent
calculations.
The result: the navigation system provides
you with dependable guidance to your
destination.
Map CDMap CDs are inserted in the navigation
computer located behind the cover on the
left side of the luggage compartment.
To ensure that your vehicle's navigation
system has access to the latest highway
network information, always load the most
recent CD version of the digital road map.
As is the case with conventional road
maps, the map CDs are subject to periodic
updates to ensure that they reflect the
latest information and surveys.
Map CDs are available at your BMW
center; refer to the listing for the BMW
center closest to you. when you are leaving the area stored on
your current map CD; you should respond
by changing the map CD in the navigation
computer.
Map CDs contain road maps covering one
or more countries or regions.
