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.

storage compartment and the luggage com-
partment.<

as required.<
The temperature in the storage compartment
depends on the setting for the upper body area,

The concept
Your BMW is equipped with a mobile phone
preparation package. After a suitable mobile
phone has been paired with the vehicle once,
you can operate the mobile phone via iDrive, via
the button on the steering wheel, via the phone
keypad and by voice
*.
A mobile phone that has been paired with the
vehicle once is automatically detected again
with the engine running or the ignition switched
on as soon as it is brought inside the vehicle.
The logon data of up to four mobile phones can
be stored simultaneously. If several mobile
phones are detected simultaneously, then the
vehicle can be used to operate the mobile
phone that was most recently paired with it.
Using a phone in your vehicle
Using snap-in adapter*
The so-called snap-in adapter, a cradle for your
mobile phone, is inserted into the center arm-
rest. If the mobile phone is inserted into the
snap-in adapter, the battery is charged and the
mobile phone is connected to the external
antenna of the vehicle whenever the ignition
key is in the radio ready state or higher. This
assures better network reception and uniform
sound quality. Ask your BMW center which
mobile phones snap-in adapters are offered for.
To use the snap-in adapter, refer to page181.
BMW discourages the use of mobile
phones or other mobile communications
devices inside the vehicle without a direct con-
nection to an outside antenna. Otherwise, the
vehicle electronics and mobile communications
device can interfere with each other. In addition,
there is no assurance that the radiation gener-
ated during transmission will be discharged
from the vehicle interior. the vehicle with the keypad of the mobile
phone; otherwise, malfunctions can occur.
The mobile phone can be operated by means
of:
>the button on the steering wheel, refer to
page11
>the retracting telephone keypad, refer to
page179
>iDrive, refer to Initiating communication,
page184
>the voice command system
*, refer to
page23
For information on operating your mobile
phone, please consult the separate operating
instructions.
For your safety
Only make entries when the traffic situa-
tion allows you to do so. Do not hold the
mobile phone in your hand while you are driving;
use the hands-free system instead. If you do
not comply with this precaution, your being dis-
tracted can endanger vehicle occupants and
other road users.<
Suitable mobile phones
Ask your BMW center which mobile phones
with a Bluetooth interface are supported by the
mobile phone preparation package or which
mobile phones snap-in adapters are available
for. These mobile phones support the functions
described in this Owner's Manual with a certain
software version. Malfunctions can occur with
other mobile phones.
