Interior and exterior mirrors with
automatic dimming feature*
This mirror automatically dims through an
infinitely variable range and switches auto-
matically to its clear, undimmed mode
whenever you engage reverse gear or
place the selector lever in position R.
To ensure that the mirror continues to
operate properly, keep the two photocells
clean and unobstructed. One photocell is
positioned in the mirror's lens, see arrow,
while the other is slightly offset on the
opposite side of the mirror. Do not obstruct
the area between the interior rearview mir-
ror and the windshield; do not apply stick-
ers to the area of the windshield in front of
the mirror.

How the system functions
You have probably frequently wished that
you could configure individual functions of
your vehicle to reflect your own personal
requirements. In engineering your vehicle,
BMW has incorporated a number of
options for personal adjustment that can be
programmed into your vehicle at your BMW
center.
Vehicle Memory refers to vehicle-oriented
settings and Key Memory refers to person-
oriented settings. You can have up to four
different basic settings adjusted for four
different persons. The only requirement is

Driving
44 5Rotary dial for control of the wipe inter-
val or the sensitivity of the rain sensor
Intermittent operation
Not on vehicles with rain sensor.
You can set the wipe interval over four
stages with rotary dial 5.
In addition, the wipe interval is varied auto-
matically depending on road speed.
Rain sensor
The rain sensor is positioned on the wind-
shield, directly behind the interior rearview
mirror.
To activate the rain sensor:
>With the ignition key in position 1 or
higher, move the lever to position 1. The
wipers travel once across the wind-
shield, regardless of the weather.
You can leave the lever permanently in
position 1, it is then only necessary to acti-
vate the rain sensor. To do this
>turn rotary dial 5 briefly.
To adjust the sensitivity of the rain sensor:
turn rotary dial 5.
To deactivate the rain sensor:
return lever to position 0.
Turn the rain sensor off in automatic
car washes. Failure to do so could
result in damage caused by undesired
wiper activation.<
Normal wiper speed
When the vehicle is stationary, the wipers
automatically switch to intermittent wipe,
not on vehicles with rain sensor.
Fast wiper speed
When the vehicle is stationary, the wipers
operate at normal speed, not on vehicles
with rain sensor.

Do not use the washers when the reservoir
is empty. Otherwise damage to the washer
pump could result.<
Cleaning the windshield
The system sprays washer fluid against the
windshield and activates the wipers for a
brief period.
Cleaning the headlamps
When the vehicle's lighting system is
switched on, the headlamps are cleaned at
reasonable intervals.

The windshield washer nozzles are heated
automatically
* in ignition position 2.
