Parked-car heating
The concept
The parked-car heating warms the vehicle inte‐
rior, making snow and ice easier to remove. With
the ignition switched off, the air is automatically
routed to the windshield, to the side windows,
and into the footwell.
The systems can be switched on and off directly
or by using two preset switch-on times. They
remain switched on for 30 minutes.
Operation takes place on the iDrive or the re‐
mote control.
Parked-car heating in enclosed areas
Do not operate the parked-car heating in
enclosed areas, as breathing of the harmful ex‐
haust fumes may lead to loss of consciousness
and death. The exhaust gases contain carbon
monoxide, an odorless and colorless but highly
toxic gas. Switch off the parked-car heating
when refueling.◀
Functional requirement▷If the switch-on time is preselected:With the
remote control or if a switch-on time is pre‐
selected: External temperature ap‐
prox. 59 ℉/15 ℃.▷Direct operation: any external temperature.▷The battery is sufficiently charged.▷The fuel tank is filled to above the reserve
range.
If the parked-car heating has not been used for
several months, it may be necessary to switch it
on again after several minutes.
