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.
Functional requirements
Parked-car ventilation▷With the remote control or using the preset
reel-on time: external temperature above
approx. 59 ℉/15 ℃.▷When operated directly and if there is no
parked-car heating: any external tempera‐
ture.
Open the vents to allow air to flow out.
Parked-car heating
▷With the remote control or using the preset
reel-on time: external temperature below
approx. 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 reel the
system on again after several minutes.
Switching on/off directly
On the Control Display:
1."Settings"2."Climate"3."Activate comfort heating" or
"Activate comf. ventilation"
The symbol on the automatic climate con‐
trol flashes if the system is switched on.
The system continues to run for some time af‐
ter being switched off.
