Comfortable interior climateFor almost all conditions, the AUTO program
4 offers the optimum air distribution and air
flow rate, refer to AUTO program below. Select
a comfortable interior temperature only.
The following sections contain more detailed
information on the available setting options.
Most of these settings are stored for the re‐
mote control currently in use, Personal Profile
settings, refer to page 31.
Manual air distribution
Press the buttons repeatedly to select a pro‐
gram:▷Windows.▷Upper body region.▷Footwell.
The programs can be combined as necessary.
Temperature Turn the wheel to set the de‐
sired temperature.
The automatic climate control
achieves this temperature as
quickly as possible, if necessary
with the maximum cooling or heating capacity,
and then keeps it constant.
Avoid rapidly 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 external
temperature.
At the lowest setting, cooling is continuous, re‐
gardless of the external temperature.
Maximum cooling
Press the button.
The system is set to the lowest tem‐
perature, maximum air volume and recircu‐
lated-air mode.
Air flows out of the vents for the upper body
region. Open them for this purpose.
Air is cooled as quickly as possible:▷At an external temperature of approx.
32 ℉/0 ℃.▷When the engine is running.
AUTO program
Press the button.
Air volume, air distribution, and tem‐
perature are controlled automatically.
Depending on the selected temperature,
AUTO intensity, and outside influences, the air
is directed to the windshield, side windows,
upper body, and into the footwell.
The cooling function is switched on automati‐
cally with the AUTO program.
At the same time, a condensation sensor con‐
trols the program in such a way that window
condensation is prevented as much as possi‐
ble.
To switch off the program: press the button
again or manually adjust the air distribution.
Intensity of the AUTO programWith the AUTO program switched on, auto‐
matic control of the air volume and air distribu‐
tion can be adjusted.
Press the left or right side of the but‐
ton: decrease or increase the inten‐
sity.
The selected intensity is shown on the display
of the automatic climate control.

Air volume, manual
To be able to manually adjust the air volume,
switch off the AUTO program first.
Press the left or right side of the but‐
ton: decrease or increase air volume.
The selected air volume is shown on the dis‐ play of the automatic climate control.
The air volume of the automatic climate control
may be reduced automatically to save battery
power.
Automatic recirculated air mode/ recirculated air mode
You can respond to unpleasant odors or pollu‐
tants in the immediate environment by tempo‐
rarily suspending the supply of outside air. The
system then recirculates the air currently
within the vehicle.
Press the button repeatedly to select
an operating mode:▷LEDs off: outside air flows in continuously.▷Left LED on, automatic recirculated-air
control: a sensor detects pollutants in the
outside air and controls the shutoff auto‐
matically.▷Right LED on, recirculated air mode: the
supply of outside air into the vehicle is per‐
manently blocked.
If the windows are fogged over, switch off
the recirculated-air mode and press the
AUTO button to utilize the condensation
sensor. Make sure that air can flow onto
the windshield.
Continuous recirculated-air mode
The recirculated air mode should not be
used for an extended period of time, as the air
quality inside the vehicle deteriorates stead‐
ily.◀
Via the button on the steering wheel
A button on the steering wheel can be used to
quickly switch between recirculated air mode
and the previous setting.
ALL program Press the button.
The current temperature setting for
the driver's side is transferred to the front pas‐
senger side.
If the temperature setting is changed on the
driver's side, the temperature on the front pas‐
senger side changes as well.
The program is switched off if the setting is
changed on the front passenger side or the
button is pressed again.
Defrosting and defogging windows Press the button.
Ice and condensation are quickly re‐
moved from the windshield and the front side
windows.
For this purpose, also switch on the cooling
function.
Cooling function
The passenger compartment can only be
cooled with the engine running.
Press the button.
The air is cooled and dehumidified
and – depending on the temperature setting –
warmed again.
Depending on the weather, the windshield may
fog up briefly when the engine is started.
The cooling function is switched on automati‐
cally with the AUTO program.
When using the automatic climate control,

pended. If the air quality deteriorates or the
window fogs over, switch the system back on
and increase the air flow rate.
Switching on Press any button, except for the buttons for
the ALL program or rear window heating.
Ventilation1Use the thumbwheels to smoothly open
and close the air vents2Use the lever to change the direction of the
air flow
Ventilation for cooling
Adjust the vent to direct the air in your direc‐
tion, e.g., if the vehicle interior is hot from the
sun.
Draft-free ventilation
Adjust the vent to let the air flow past you.
Microfilter/activated-charcoal filter
The microfilter traps dust and pollen in the in‐
coming air.
The activated-charcoal filter removes gaseous
pollutants from the outside air that enters the
vehicle.
Your service center replaces this combined fil‐
ter during routine maintenance.
Parked-car ventilation The conceptThe parked-car ventilation blows air into the
passenger compartment to lower interior tem‐
peratures.
The system can be switched on and off at any
external temperature, either directly or by us‐
ing a preset switch-on time. It remains
switched on for 30 minutes.
Since the system uses a substantial amount of
electrical current, refrain from activating it
twice in succession without allowing the bat‐
tery to be recharged in normal operation be‐
tween use.
Open the vents to allow air to flow out.
They can be operated via iDrive.

Universal Garage Door
Opener
The concept The Universal Garage Door Opener can be
used to operate up to 3 functions in remote-
controlled systems, such as garage door drives or lighting systems. The Universal Garage
Door Opener replaces up to 3 different hand-
held transmitters. To operate it, the buttons on
the interior rearview mirror must be program‐
med for the desired functions. The hand-held
transmitter for the system is needed for the
programming procedure.
During programming
During programming and before activat‐
ing a device using the Universal Garage Door
Opener, ensure that there are no people, ani‐
mals, or objects in the range of movement of
the remote-controlled device; otherwise, there
is a risk of injury or damage.
Also follow the safety instructions of the hand-
held transmitter.◀
Before selling the vehicle, delete the stored
functions for security reasons.
Compatibility If this symbol is printed on the packag‐
ing or in the operating instructions ofthe system being operated, the system is gen‐
erally compatible with the Universal Garage
Door Opener.
