2014 BMW X1 heating

NoteSufficient ventilation
When remaining in the vehicle for an ex‐
tended period of time, ensure sufficient exter‐
nal ventilation. Do not continuously use recir‐
culated-air mode; otherwise the air quality in
the interior continuously worsens.◀
Comfortable interior climate For 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.

Rear window defrosterPress the button.
The rear window defroster switches
off automatically after a certain period of time.
Switching the system on/off
Switching off Press and hold the left button or, with
the setting at the lowest level, press
the left button.
All displays are cleared except for the rear win‐
dow defroster if it is switched on.
When the automatic climate control is
switched off, the supply of outside air is sus‐
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.

LoadingVehicle equipment
This chapter describes all series equipment as
well as country-specific and special equipment
offered for this model series. Therefore, it also
describes equipment that may not be found in
your vehicle, for instance due to the selected
special equipment or the country version. This
also applies to safety-related functions and
systems.
When using the features and systems descri‐
bed here, adhere to local regulations.
General information Overloading the vehicle
To avoid exceeding the approved carry‐
ing capacity of the tires, never overload the ve‐
hicle. Overloading can lead to overheating and
increases the rate at which damage develops
inside the tires. This could result in a sudden
loss of tire inflation pressure.◀
No fluids in the cargo area
Make sure that fluids do not leak into the
cargo area; otherwise, the vehicle may be dam‐
aged.◀
Determining the load limit1.Locate the following statement on your ve‐
hicle’s placard:▷The combined weight of occupants
and cargo should never exceed XXX kg
or YYY lbs. Otherwise, damage to the
vehicle and unstable driving situations
may result.2.Determine the combined weight of the
driver and passengers that will be riding in
your vehicle.3.Subtract the combined weight of the driver
and passengers from XXX kilograms or
YYY pounds.4.The resulting figure equals the available
amount of cargo and luggage load ca‐
pacity.
For example, if the YYY amount equals
1,000 lbs and there will be four 150 lbs
passengers in your vehicle, the amount of
available cargo and luggage load capacity
is 400 lbs: 1,000 lbs minus 600 lbs =
400 lbs.5.Determine the combined weight of lug‐
gage and cargo being loaded on the vehi‐
cle. That weight may not safely exceed the
available cargo and luggage load capacity
calculated in Step 4.6.If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, load
from your trailer will be transfered to your
vehicle. Consult the manual for transport‐
ing a trailer to determine how this may re‐
duce the available cargo and luggage load
capacity of your vehicle.Seite 134Driving tipsLoading134

Use coasting conditions
When approaching a red light, take your foot
off the accelerator and let the vehicle coast to
a halt.
On a downhill gradient, take your foot off the
accelerator and let the vehicle roll.
The flow of fuel is interrupted while coasting.
Switch off the engine during longer stops
Switch off the engine during longer stops, e.g.,
at traffic lights, railroad crossings or in traffic
congestion.
Automatic Engine Start/Stop Function The Automatic Start/Stop Function of your ve‐
hicle automatically switches off the engine
during a stop. Additional information on the
Automatic Engine Start/Stop Function, refer to
page 59.
If the engine is stopped and then started again,
fuel consumption and emissions drop com‐
pared to an engine that runs permanently.
Stopping the engine even for just a few sec‐
onds can result in savings.
Use of this system can cause premature wear
on certain vehicle components.
In addition, fuel consumption depends on
other factors as well, such as driving style, road
conditions, maintenance, and environmental
factors.
Switch off any functions that
are not currently needed
Functions such as seat heating and the rear
window defroster require a lot of energy and
consume additional fuel, especially in city and
stop-and-go traffic.
Therefore, switch off these functions if they
are not actually needed.Have maintenance carried
out
Have vehicles maintained regularly to achieve
optimal vehicle economy and operating life.
Have the maintenance carried out by your
service center.
Please also note the BMW Maintenance Sys‐
tem, refer to page 245.
ECO PRO
The concept ECO PRO supports the driver in achieving high
fuel economy. Engine control and comfort
functions, such as the climate control system,
are adjusted accordingly.
In addition, situation-related information can
be displayed that helps the driver achieve
lower fuel consumption.
The resulting range extension can be dis‐
played in the instrument cluster.
Activating ECO PRO Press the button; the LED above the
button lights up.
ECO PRO appears in the instrument cluster
and DSC is activated if necessary.
Displays in the instrument cluster
After activation, ECO PRO and the bonus
range are displayed in the instrument cluster.
