Temperature adjustment
You can turn to select the
desired temperatures for the
driver's and passenger sides.
Your settings appear on 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.
Defrosting windows and removing
condensation
This program quickly removes
ice and condensation from the
windshield and door windows.
Adjusting air supply manually
You can adjust the air supply by
turning. The automatic air sup-
ply control is operational when-
ever you see your selection rep-
resented by a bar on 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.
Switching air conditioner mode on
and off manually
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
This program quickly provides
maximum cooling.
The temperature display reverts
to 607/166 while the system
switches to the recirculated-air mode and
starts to provide maximum air supply through the vent outlets only. For this rea-
son you should ensure that these outlets
are open before selecting this program.
Outside air/AUC Automatic
recirculated-air control/recirculated
air
You can respond to unpleasant
odors or pollutants in the imme-
diate environment by tempo-
rarily suspending the supply of outside air.
The system then recirculates the air cur-
rently 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 indicator lamp on, AUC mode: the
system detects pollutants in the outside
air and responds by blocking the supply
of outside air when required. The sys-
tem then recirculates the air currently
within the vehicle.
Depending upon air quality, in the auto-
matic mode the system may start to
alternate between its outside-air and
recirculated-air modes
>Right indicator lamp on, recirculated-air
mode: the supply of outside air into the
vehicle is permanently blocked. The
system then recirculates the air cur-
rently 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 con-
trol's settings when the ignition lock is in
the radio mode. The system blows heated

Adjusting air distribution
You also enjoy the option of adjusting the
air distribution manually to obtain a climate
that is ideally adapted to your personal
requirements. The AUTO program is deac-
tivated.

selection. Turn the controller to adjust the
air distribution.
Air on windshield and side
windows.
Air to the upper body. You
can also adjust individually
the air temperature of the vent outlets for
the upper body, see below.
Air to footwell.
Adjusting temperature the upper
body
This function provides you with the option
of making minor adjustments to achieve
maximum comfort.
Use the temperature setting to adjust the
amount of cool air that is added to the air-
flow emerging from the vent outlets for the
upper body. We recommend a moderate temperature setting, as cooler air helps
promote fatigue-free driving.
Storing and calling up an individual
setting
You can store your individual setting after
adjusting the air distribution manually.
Select "Memorize" and confirm your selec-
tion.
Now you can reselect the preset climate
that precisely reflects your personal
requirements.
Select "Individual" and confirm your selec-
tion. The AUTO program is deactivated.
Microfilter/activated-charcoal filter
The microfilter 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 requirement dis-
play, refer to page82.

hand-held transmitter or press and hold
down the programmed memory key1 of
the integrated universal remote control.
If the indicator lamp2 on the integrated
universal remote control flashes quickly
for a brief period and then remains lit up
for approx. two seconds, this indicates
that the original hand-held transmitter is
equipped with an alternating-code system.
In the case of an alternating-code system,
program the memory keys1 as described
at the section on alternating-code transmit-
ters.<
Alternating-code transmitters
Consult the operating instructions of the
unit you wish to set when programming the
universal remote control. You will find infor-
mation there on the possibilities for syn-
chronization.
When programming hand-held transmitters
that employ an alternating code, please
observe the following supplementary
instructions:
Programming will be easier with the
aid of a second person.<

Towing
Using tow fitting
The threaded tow fitting is stored in the
onboard tool kit and must always remain in
the vehicle. It can be screwed in at the front
or rear of the BMW.
To avoid damage to the tow fitting
and the vehicle, observe the follow-
ing: only use the tow fitting that comes with
the vehicle and screw it in as far as it will
go. Only use the tow fitting to tow on roads.
Avoid lateral loading of the tow fitting, e.g.
do not lift the vehicle by the tow fitting.<
Access to screw thread
Press the arrow symbol to push out the
cover.
Being towed
Do not tow the vehicle by the rear
axle; because the steering detent is
not operational, the wheels could turn to an
extreme angle during towing. There is no
power assist with the engine stopped. This
then requires increased effort for braking
and steering.<
Switch on the hazard warning flashers
depending on the local regulations. If the
electrical system fails, mark the vehicle to
be towed, e.g. with a sign or warning trian-
gle in the rear window.
