Central locking system
The concept
The central locking system functions when the
driver's door is closed.
The system simultaneously engages and
releases the locks on the following:
>Doors
> Trunk lid
> Fuel filler flap
Operating from outside
>Via the remote control
> Using the door lock
> In cars with Comfort Access, via the handles
on the driver's door or the front passenger
door
At the same time as locking and unlocking via
the remote control:
> Welcome lights, the inte rior light, and the
courtesy lighting are switched on or off.
> Alarm system, refer to page 38, is armed or
disarmed.
Operating from inside
By means of the button fo r central locking, refer
to page 37.
In the event of a sufficien tly severe accident, the
central locking system unlocks automatically. In
addition, the hazard warning flashers and inte-
rior lamps come on.

Automatic climate control
Comfortable interior climate
AUTO program7 offers the ideal air distribution
and air volume for almost all conditions, refer to
AUTO program below. All you need to do is
select an interior temperature which is comfort-
able for you.
The following sections inform you in detail
about how to adjust the settings.
Most settings are stored for the remote control
currently in use, refer also to Personal Profile
settings on page 33.
Adjusting air distribution manually
The air distribution can be
switched on and off manually. The
air is directed to the windshield, to
the upper body area and to the
footwell.
The automatic air distribution can be switched
back on by pressing the AUTO button. The air
conditioning is switched on automatically and
the manual air distribution setting is cleared.
Temperature
Turn to set the desired tempera-
ture.
The automatic climate control
achieves this temperature as
quickly as possible regardless of the season,
using maximum cooling or heating power if
necessary, and then maintains it.
Avoid rapid switching between different tem-
perature settings. The automatic climate con-
trol will not have sufficient time to adjust the set
temperature.
Maximum heating power can be obtained with
the highest setting, regardless of the outside
temperature.
The system cools steadily in the lowest setting,
regardless of the outside temperature.
Maximum cooling
Press the button.
The system is set to the lowest
temperature, maximum air volume
and recirculated air mode.
Air flows out of the vent outlets for the upper
body region. Open them for this purpose.
Air is cooled as quickly as possible
> Above an outside temperature of approx.
327/06
> When the engine is running
AUTO program
Press the button.
Air volume, air distribution and
temperature are controlled auto-
matically.
Depending on the selected temperature, AUTO
intensity and outside in fluences, the air is
directed toward the windshield, the side
windows, the upper body and the footwell.
Pressing the AUTO button automatically
switches on the air conditioning.

Parked car ventilation
The concept
The parked car ventilation provides ventilation
to the passenger compartment and lowers its
temperature, if necessary.
For any outside temperature, the system can be
switched on or off directly or via a preset
switch-on time. It will re main on for 30 minutes.
Due to its high power consumption, the parked
car ventilation system should not be switched
on twice in a row withou t driving in between to
allow the battery to recharge.
Open the vents so that air can flow out.
They can be operated via iDrive.

Changing wheels
Your BMW is equipped with run-flat tires as
standard. This eliminates the need to change a
wheel immediately in the event of a puncture.
For information on continuing to drive with a
damaged tire, refer to Indica tion of a flat tire on
page 92.
The symbol identifying run- flat tires is a circle
with the letters RSC on the sidewall, refer to
New wheels and tires, page 230.
When mounting new tires or changing over
from summer to winter tires and vice versa,
mount run-flat tires for your own safety. In the
event of a flat, no spare wheel is available. Your
BMW center will be glad to advise you. Refer
also to New wheels and tires, page 230.
The tools for changing wheels are avail-
able as optional accessories from your
BMW center. <
Jack mounting points
The jacking points are at the positions shown in
the illustration.
