This combined filter should be replaced during
scheduled maintenance, refer to page 215, of

Ventilation
Front ventilation▷Thumbwheel to vary the temperature, ar‐
row 1.
Toward blue: colder.
Toward red: warmer.
The set interior temperature for the driver
and passenger are not changed.▷Lever for changing the air flow direction,
arrow 2.▷Thumbwheels for opening and closing the
vents continuously, arrows 3.
Adjusting the ventilation
▷Ventilation for cooling:
Direct vent in your direction when vehicle's
interior is too hot.▷Draft-free ventilation:
Adjust the vent to let the air flow past you.Parked-car ventilation/
heating
The concept The parked-car ventilation ventilates the vehi‐
cle interior and lowers its temperature, if
needed.
The parked-car heating warms the vehicle in‐
terior, making snow and ice easier to remove.
With the ignition switched off, the air is auto‐
matically routed to the windshield, to the side
windows, and into the footwell.
The systems can be switched on and off di‐
rectly or by using two preset reel-on times.
They remain switched on for 30 minutes.
Operation takes place on the iDrive or the re‐ mote control.
Hints Parked-car heating in enclosed areas
Do not operate the parked-car heating in
enclosed areas, since breathing in 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.◀
Operation of the parked-car heating
When parked-car heating is in operation,
high temperatures can occur under the car
body. Before the parked-car heating is switched on, make sure that no flammable ma‐
terials, such as hay, leaves, grass, etc. are un‐
der the vehicle. Such contact could lead to a
fire, resulting in an increased risk of serious
personal injury as well as property damage.◀
At external temperatures below 32 ℉/0 ℃, wa‐
ter vapor occurs that emerges from below the
vehicle.Seite 165Climate controlControls165

Wheels and tiresVehicle features and options
This chapter describes all standard, country-
specific and optional features offered with the
series. It also describes features that are not
necessarily available in your car, e. g., due to
the selected options or country versions. This
also applies to safety-related functions and
systems.
Tire inflation pressure
Safety information
The tire characteristics and tire inflation pres‐
sure influence the following:▷The service life of the tires.▷Road safety.▷Driving comfort.
Checking the tire inflation pressure
Check the tire inflation pressure regularly
Regularly check the tire inflation pres‐
sure, and correct it as needed: at least twice a
month and before a long trip. If you fail to ob‐
serve this precaution, you may be driving on
tires with incorrect tire pressures, a condition
that may not only compromise your vehicle's
driving stability, but also lead to tire damage
and the risk of an accident.◀
Tires have a natural, consistent loss of tire in‐
flation pressure.
Tires heat up while driving, and the tire infla‐
tion pressure increases along with the tire's
temperature. The tire inflation pressure speci‐
fications relate to cold tires or tires with the
ambient temperature.
Only check the tire inflation pressure when the
tires are cold. This means after driving no more
than 1.25 miles/2 km or when the vehicle has
been parked for at least 2 hours.
The displays of inflation devices may under-
read by up to 1.45 psi/0.1 bar.
For Flat Tire Monitor: after correcting the tire
inflation pressure, reinitialize the Flat Tire
Monitor.
For Tire Pressure Monitor: after correcting the
tire inflation pressure, reset the Tire Pressure
Monitor.
Tire inflation pressure specifications
The tire inflation pressure table, refer to
page 197, contains all tire inflation pressure
specifications for the specified tire sizes at the
ambient temperature. Tire inflation pressure
specifications apply to approved tire sizes and
recommended tire brands. This information
can be obtained from your service center.
To identify the correct tire inflation pressure,
please note the following:▷Tire sizes of your vehicle.▷Maximum permitted driving speed.
Tire inflation pressures up to
100 mph/160 km/h
For speeds of up to 100 mph/160 km/h and for
optimum driving comfort, note the pressure
values in the tire inflation pressure table, refer
to page 197, and adjust as necessary.

These pressure values can also be found on
the tire inflation pressure label on the driver's
door pillar.
Maximum permissible speed
Do not exceed 100 mph/160 km/h; other‐
wise, tire damage and accidents may result.◀
