Particle/activated-charcoal filter
The particle filter removes dust and pollen
from the incoming air. The activated-char-
coal filter provides additional protection by
filtering gaseous pollutants from the out-
side 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 Interval Display,
refer to page 83.
Rear air conditioner*
The following settings and operating
modes can be selected and adjusted sep-
arately on the left and right sides:

To switch on the rear air conditioner
>select maximum cooling
>press the OFF button again
>select "Rear air cond." in the Control
Display and confirm your selection, see
below.
When you switch on the rear air con-
ditioning, the rear cooler is switched
on automatically, refer to page 116.<
Adjusting cooling
You can also set the system to
provide the desired level of
cooling by turning. We recom-
mend setting the system for
moderate cooling. When you
start off, the system reaches and then
maintains the desired temperature settings
as quickly as possible, both in summer and
in winter.
Adjusting air supply manually
You can adjust the air supply by
turning.
Maximum cooling
This program quickly provides
maximum cooling.
The system automatically switches to the
recirculated-air mode while a high-speed
stream of air simultaneously emerges from
the vent outlets. For this reason you should
ensure that these outlets are open before
selecting this program.

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 man-
ually. Since the system uses a substantial
amount of electrical current, you should
refrain from activating it twice in succes-
sion without allowing the battery to be
recharged in normal operation between
use.
The parked-car ventilation system is avail-
able for preprogrammed operation at out-
side temperatures above approx. 597
(156) and for direct activation at any tem-
perature, 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.
Switching on and off directly
1.Activate the radio mode at the ignition
lock
2.Select "Indep. ventil." on the second
page of the "Climate" menu and confirm
your selection.

undermining your ability to steer and brake
the vehicle.<
Driving through water
Do not drive through water on the
road if it is deeper than 1 ft (30 cm),
and then only at walking speed at the most.
Otherwise, the vehicle's engine, the elec-
trical systems and the transmission may be
damaged.<
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 con-
sistent 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 bra-
king effect by selecting a lower gear in the
automatic transmission's manual mode,
downshifting as far as first gear on extre-
mely steep stretches, refer to page 68. This
strategy helps you avoid placing excessive
loads on the brake system.
Never allow the vehicle to coast with
the transmission in Neutral Ð or with
the engine switched off Ð there is no engine
braking when the transmission is in Neu-
tral, 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.<
Corrosion
When the vehicle is driven only occasio-
nally, 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 ten-
dency 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 pul-
sating effect that even extended applica-
tion will fail to cure.
Brake pads
If the brake pad wear warning lamp
appears in the Check Control,
accompanied by a text: please take
careful note of the additional information in
the Control Display.
