pollen, and gaseous pollutants out of the air.
This filter should be replaced during scheduled
maintenance, refer to page 170, of your vehi‐
cle.
Ventilation
▷Thumbwheel for continuous opening and
closing of the vent, arrow 1.▷Lever for changing the air flow direction,
arrow 2.
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.
Stationary climate control
The concept Stationary climate control cools or heats the
interior prior to departure to a comfortable
temperature.
The interior temperature is lowered with high
cooling output.
The system may heat the interior. Snow and
ice can be removed more easily.
The air automatically exits through the vents to
the windshield, the side windows, the upper
body region and into the footwell.
The stationary climate control can be switched
on and off via the following systems:
▷Direct operation, refer to page 124.▷Preselected departure times, refer to
page 124.
With the BMW i Remote App, refer to
page 124, the standing air conditioning can be
switched on.
The system switches off automatically at the
latest after 30 minutes.
Functional requirements
▷When the departure time is preselected:
depends on internal, external and set tem‐
perature.▷Direct operation via iDrive: any external
temperature.Seite 123Climate controlControls123

MaintenanceVehicle 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.
BMW maintenance system
The maintenance system indicates required
maintenance measures, and thereby provides
support in maintaining road safety and the op‐
erational reliability of the vehicle.
Note Maintenance and repairs
Have maintenance and repair work per‐
formed only by a service center or a workshop
that works according to BMW specifications
with appropriately trained personnel. Other‐
wise, there is the risk of fatal injury from elec‐
trocution due to the high-voltage system's
high voltage.◀
Condition Based Service
CBS
Sensors and special algorithms take into ac‐
count the driving conditions of your vehicle.
Based on this, Condition Based Service recog‐
nizes the maintenance requirements.
The system makes it possible to adapt the
amount of maintenance corresponding to your
user profile.Detailed information on service requirements,
refer to page 80, can be displayed on the Con‐
trol Display.
For service data Information on the required maintenance is
continuously stored in the remote control. Your service center will read out this data and
suggest the right array of service procedures for your vehicle.
Therefore, hand your service specialist the re‐
mote control with which the vehicle was driven
most recently.
Storage periods
Storage periods during which the vehicle bat‐
tery was disconnected are not taken into ac‐
count.
If this occurs, have a service center update the
time-dependent maintenance procedures,
such as checking brake fluid and, if needed,
changing the engine oil and the microfilter/
activated-charcoal filter.
