Climate Control System (IHKR)
The manual system is controlled through the use of bowden cables for air distribution and
electronic control for temperature regulation and blower speed. One stepper motor is used
for the fresh/recirculated air intake.
The IHKR incorporates the following features:
• Fresh air intake grilles integrated into the hood - the fresh air passes through the single
micro filter installed in the center of front bulkhead.
The air then passes through the air duct, which is bolted to the bulkhead, and enters the
heater - A/C unit through the non-return flaps.

Climate Control System (IHKA)
The IHKA is standard equipment on the X5 with the M62 engine and optional equipment
on the M54 version. The IHKA system is taken from the E39 sedan and includes all func-
tions and features of the IHKA currently installed in the E39.
Features of the IHKA system include:
• Integrated control panel/module.
• Separate temperature control for the driver and front passenger.
• Air flap control through the use of bussed stepper motors.
• Automatic Recirculation Control (AUC).
• Recirculation air flap control from the MFL.
• “REST” function for residual heat when vehicle is stopped.
• Service station feature that closes the water valves when stopped to prevent hot water
circulating into the heater cores.
• A/C compressor clutch activation through a final stage control.
• Center face vent stratification control through a bowden cable.
• Separate blower motor for rear passenger compartment
The rear blower motor is located below the center storage box behind the center air outlet
grilles. The blower speed control is mounted in the panel below the outlets. Cool or strati-
fied air is available at the center outlets.
