A congenial climate
For almost all conditions, the AUTO program1
offers the optimal air distribution and air vol-
ume. Select an interior temperature that you
find pleasant.
The following section contains more detailed
information on the available setting options.
The settings are stored for the remote key cur-
rently in use.
AUTO program
The AUTO program handles the
adjustment of air distribution to the
windshield and side windows, in
the direction of the upper body, and in the foot-
well, as well as the adjustment of the air volume. It also adapts your instructions for the tempera-
ture to outside influences throughout the year.
The cooling is switched on automatically with
the AUTO program. At the same time, a con-
densation sensor controls the program so as to
prevent window condensation as much as pos-
sible.
Intensity of AUTO program
You can adjust the intensity of the AUTO pro-
gram by repeatedly pressing the AUTO button.
Press the button to have the current setting
briefly displayed on the lower status line of the
Control Display.
You can also adjust the intensity of the AUTO
program via iDrive.

Automatic recirculated air control/
recirculated air mode
You can respond to unpleasant
odors or pollutants in the immedi-
ate environment by temporarily
suspending the supply of outside air. The sys-
tem then recirculates the air currently within the
vehicle. In AUC mode, a sensor detects pollut-
ants in the outside air and controls the shut-off
automatically.
Press the button repeatedly to run through the
following control sequence:
>LEDs off: outside air flows into the vehicle
continuously.
>Left LED on, AUC mode: the system
detects pollutants in the outside air and
responds by blocking the supply of outside
air when required.
>Right LED on, recirculated-air mode: the
supply of outside air into the vehicle is con-
tinuously blocked.If the windows fog over in recirculated-air
mode, then press the AUTO button or
switch off the recirculated-air mode and
increase the air quantity as needed.
The recirculated-air mode should not be used
over a longer period of time, as the air quality
inside the vehicle deteriorates continuously.<
Automatic climate control, switching
on and off
The air volume, the heater, and the
air conditioner mode are all
switched off.
You can restart the automatic climate control by
pressing any of its buttons except the REST
button.
Temperature adjustment
Adjust the desired temperature
individually on the driver's side and
passenger side. Your settings
appear on the status line of the
Control Display.
The automatic climate control achieves this
temperature as quickly as possible at any time
of year, if necessary with the maximum cooling
or heating capacity, and then keeps it constant.
When switching between different tem-
perature settings in rapid succession, the
automatic climate control does not have suffi-
cient time to achieve the set temperature.<
The highest setting switches on the maximum
heat output regardless of the outside tempera-
ture. The lowest setting activates maximum air
conditioning.
Using iDrive
1.Open the start menu.
2.Open "Climate".
3.Turn the controller to select driver's side or
passenger side.
4.Turn the controller to select the field and
press the controller.

manually
When activated, the air conditioner
mode cools and dehumidifies the
incoming air, reheating it as
required, depending on the temperature set-
ting. Depending on the weather, the windshield
may fog over briefly when the engine is started.
The cooling function is switched on automati-
cally with the AUTO program. The passenger
compartment can only be cooled with the
engine running.

The rear window defroster
switches off automatically after a
while. Depending on your equip-
ment package, the upper wires are used as an
antenna and are not part of the rear window
defroster.

Microfilter/activated-charcoal filter
The microfilter removes dust and pollen from
the incoming air. The activated-charcoal filter
provides additional protection by filtering gas-
eous pollutants from the outside air. Your BMW
center replaces this combined filter as a stan-
dard part of your scheduled maintenance.
You can select a display of more detailed infor-
mation in the service required display, refer to
