Draft-free ventilationYou can adjust the blower controls for
the upper body area to obtain the opti-
mum airflow rates and directions for
your personal requirements:
1Rotary dials for infinitely variable
opening and closing of the vent out-
lets
2Levers for airflow direction
3Rotary dial 3 allows you to control the
temperature of the airflow from these
outlets as desired
MicrofilterThe built-in microfilter removes dust
and pollen from the incoming air. Your
BMW center will replace it during rou-
tine maintenance. A substantial reduc-
tion in airflow indicates that the filter
needs to be replaced before scheduled
maintenance.
To defrost windows and remove
condensation1. Set the blower speed control for the
airflow rate to position 4
2. Turn the rotary temperature control
completely to the right, toward the
red zone
3. Turn to the rotary control for air dis-
tribution to position
4. Switch on the rear window defroster
to defrost the rear window.

Outside air/Automatic
recirculated-air control (AUC)/
Recirculated air
You can respond to unpleasant
external odors or pollutants by
temporarily stopping the flow of outside
air. The system then recirculates the air
currently within the vehicle.
Press the button repeatedly to select
one of three different operating modes.
>Indicator lamps off: outside airflow is
on
>Left indicator lamp on – automatic
mode: the system recognizes pollut-
ants in the outside air and blocks the
flow of air when necessary. The sys-
tem then recirculates the air currently
within the vehicle. Depending on the
air quality, the automatic system then
switches back and forth between
outside air supply and recirculation of
the air within the vehicle
>Right indicator lamp on: the flow of
outside air into the vehicle is perma-
nently blocked. The system then
recirculates the air currently within
the vehicle.
If the windows should fog over in
the recirculated-air mode, switch
this mode off and increase the air sup-
ply as required.<
Rear window defroster
With the convertible top closed
or with the hardtop* mounted,
press the button. The indicator lamp
comes on. The rear window defroster
switches off automatically.
You can have your vehicle pro-
grammed in such a way that the
rear window defroster switches on
automatically. This occurs within 5 min-
utes after starting the engine when out-
side temperatures are below approx.
397/+46.<

3Use the rotary dial to control the tem-
perature of the airflow:
>Rotate toward blue – colder
>Turn toward red – warmer

Microfilter/activated-charcoal
filterThe built-in microfilter removes dust
and pollen from the incoming air. The
activated-charcoal filter provides addi-
tional protection by filtering gaseous
pollutants from the outside air. Your
BMW center replaces this combined fil-
ter as a standard part of your scheduled
maintenance. A substantial reduction in
airflow indicates that the filter needs to
be replaced before scheduled mainte-
nance.Automatic climate control*

Glove compartmentTo openPull the handle. The lamp in the glove
compartment comes on.To closeFold the cover back up.
To prevent injury in the event of an
accident, close the glove com-
partment immediately after use. master key will also be required to
unlock the glove compartment.
If – for example for valet parking –
you turn over only your spare key,
refer to page 30, then access to the
glove compartment and luggage com-
partment is not possible.<
Rechargeable flashlightThe flashlight is located on the left-
hand side of the glove compartment.
It features integral overload-protection,
so it can be left in its holder continu-
ously.
To avoid completely discharging
and possibly damaging the flash-
light, always ensure that it is switched
off before inserting it in the socket.<

3. Hold the original control device
approx. 2 to 8 in / 5 to 20 cm away
from memory buttons 1.
The required distance between
the control device and the mem-
ory buttons 1 may vary, depending on
the system of the original control device
in question.<
4. Simultaneously press the command
button of the original control device
and the desired memory button 1 on
the integrated universal remote con-
trol. Indicator lamp 2 starts to flash
slowly. When indicator lamp 2
flashes rapidly, release both but-
tons. If the indicator lamp 2 does not
flash rapidly after approx.
15 seconds, select a different dis-
tance between the two devices
5. To program other original control
devices, repeat steps 3 and 4.
The corresponding memory button 1 is
now programmed with the signal of the
original control device.
The system can be operated from igni-
tion key position 2.
If the system cannot be operated
after repeated attempts at pro-
gramming, check whether the original
control device is equipped with an
alternating-code system. You can either
check the operating instructions of the
original control device for this informa-
tion, or you can press and hold down
the programmed memory button 1 of
the integrated universal remote control.
If indicator lamp 2 of the integrated uni-
versal remote control flashes rapidly for
a brief period and then remains on for
approx. 2 seconds, the original control
device is equipped with an alternating-
code system. In this case, you have to
program the memory buttons 1 as
described below for an alternating-
code control device.<
Programming an alternating-code
control deviceYou will need to follow the operating
instructions of the system in question in
order to program the integrated univer-
sal remote control. Read through the
operating instructions for information
on synchronization. Comply with the
following additional instructions when
you program an alternating-code con-
trol device:
You will find programming easier if
you have the assistance of
another person.<
1. Park the vehicle within range of the
radio remote controlled device
2. Program the integrated universal
remote control as described above in
the section on fixed-code program-
ming
3. Locate the button on the receiver of
the target device, for example on the
drive
4. Press the button on the receiver of
the target device. Once you have
completed step 4, you have approx.
30 seconds to complete step 5
5. Press the programmed memory
button 1 of the integrated universal
remote control three times.
The corresponding memory button 1 is
now programmed with the signal of the
original control device.
Please contact your BMW center
if you have any questions.<
