Driving
58 Do not allow the engine to warm up by leaving it
running while the vehicle remains stationary.
Instead, start driving right away, at a moderate
engine speed.
Switching off engine
When leaving the vehicle, always take the
remote control with you.<
With the vehicle stationary, briefly press the
Start/Stop button. Radio ready state is switched
on.
The transmission automatically shifts to posi-
tion P: interlock.
Before driving into a car wash
To permit the vehicle to roll, take the following
steps:
1.With Comfort Access: insert remote control
into ignition lock.
2.Shift transmission into position N.
3.Switch engine off.
4.Leave the remote control in the ignition
lock.
The transmission will shift into position P:
>automatically after approx. 30 minutes
>if you remove the remote control from the
ignition lock
Pay attention to the messages on the Info Dis-
play.
Removing remote control from ignition
lock
Press in the remote control briefly; it pops part-
way out. This procedure will also switch off the
ignition if it is on.
Comfort function
To switch off the engine when the vehicle is sta-
tionary, press the Start/Stop button for longer
than approx. 2 seconds. The remote control
pops partway out.
Parking brake
The concept
Your BMW is equipped with an electromechan-
ical parking brake.
The parking brake is primarily intended to pre-
vent the vehicle from rolling while parked.
You can use the parking brake in two ways:
>Manually, by briefly pressing the button
>Automatically, by activating the Automatic
Hold mode, refer to page59
An electrohydraulic mechanism then engages
the parking brake to prevent the rear wheels
from turning whenever you switch off the
engine.
When the engine is running, parking brake
engagement is controlled by the brake sys-
tem's hydraulic circuits, which act on the disc
brakes in the front and rear wheels.
Brake pedal feel
The hydraulic brake system can produce a
slightly different braking feel. Engagement may
also be accompanied by activation noise – this
is normal.
Manual engagement
Briefly press the button, the word PARK
appears on the Info Display.
When the parking brake is engaged, the indica-
tor lamp on the Info Display lights up red,
refer to page12.
The remote control does not have to be
inserted into the ignition lock for the parking
brake to be set.

The interior temperature, air volume, and air
distribution can be set starting from the radio
ready state.
Switching cooling function on and off
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.
Rear window defroster
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.
Front ventilation
1Knurled wheels for smoothly opening and
closing the air vents
2Knurled wheels for changing airflow direc-
tion
Ventilation for cooling
Adjust the vents to direct the flow of cool air in
your direction, for instance, if the interior has
become too warm, etc.
Draft-free ventilation
Set the vent outlets so that the air flows past
you and is not directed straight at you.
Ventilation in rear
1Knurled wheel for smoothly opening and
closing the air vents
1Knurled wheels for smoothly opening and
closing the air vents
2Levers for changing airflow direction
3Knurled wheels
* for setting temperature:
>Turn toward blue: colder
>Turn toward red: warmer
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
page78.
