Maximum cooling
Maximally cooled air is obtained as 
quickly as possible from an outside 
temperature above 327/06 and 
with the engine running.
The automatic climate control 
changes over to the lowest temperature and 
switches into the recirculated-air mode. The 
maximum air quantity only flows out of the vents 
for the upper body, so open these vents for 
maximum cooling.
Air volume
You can vary the air volume by 
turning. You can reactivate the 
automatic air supply mode by 
pressing the AUTO button.
Manual air distribution
You can adapt the air distribution to your own 
personal preferences:
1.Open the start menu.
2.Open "Climate".
3.Turn the controller to select driver's side or 
passenger side.4.Select the desired field and press the con-
troller.

3Air to footwell
You can only use the condensation sensor in 
the AUTO program. Press the AUTO button 
when you notice condensation on windows and 
want to use the advantages of the condensation 
sensor.
Defrosting windows and removing 
condensation
Quickly remove ice and condensa-
tion from the windshield and front 
side windows.
Residual heat
The system uses the warmth 
stored in the engine to heat the 
interior when the ignition is off, e.g. 
while the vehicle is stopped at a 
railroad crossing.
The function can be switched on when the fol-
lowing conditions are met:
>up to 15 minutes after switching off the 
engine
>with the engine at operating temperature
>with sufficient battery voltage
>at an outside temperature below 777/
256
The LED lights up when the function is 
switched on.

Maintenance
The BMW Maintenance 
System
The BMW Maintenance System serves to 
retain the operating and road safety of your 
BMW. The service schedule also includes oper-
ations related to the vehicle's comfort and con-
venience features, such as replacement of the 
filters for the inside air. The aim is to optimize 
maintenance procedures with a view to reduc-
ing the cost of running the vehicle.
Should the day come when you decide to sell 
your BMW, you will find that a complete dealer 
service history is an asset of inestimable value.
CBS Condition Based Service
Sensors and special algorithms take the differ-
ent driving conditions of your BMW into 
account. As a result, Condition Based Service 
determines the current and future maintenance 
requirements. By letting you define a service 
and maintenance regimen that reflects your 
own individual requirements, the system forms 
the basis for trouble-free driving.
You can have the remaining times or distances 
to selected maintenance requirements as well 
as legally required deadlines displayed on the 
Control Display, refer to page78:
>Engine oil
>Brakes, separate for front and rear
>Microfilter
>Brake fluid
>Spark plugs>Vehicle check
>Legally prescribed inspections depending 
on national regulations
Your vehicle stores this information continu-
ously in the ignition key while the vehicle is 
being driven. After accessing the data stored in 
the vehicle key, your BMW Service Advisor can 
suggest precisely the right array of service pro-
cedures for your own individual vehicle. This is 
why it is important when you take your vehicle in 
for service to give the BMW Service Advisor the 
last remote control you used for driving.
Storage periods with the battery discon-
nected are not taken into account by the 
CBS maintenance system. Have the time-
dependent service and maintenance opera-
tions, such as brake fluid and coolant, and if 
necessary engine oil and the micro/activated 
charcoal filter, updated by a BMW center.<

Take the time to ensure that these service pro-
cedures are confirmed by entries in your vehi-

fied regular maintenance.<
