▷Left LED on, automatic recirculated air
control: a sensor detects pollutants in the
outside air. If necessary, the system blocks
the supply of outside air and recirculates
the inside air. As soon as the concentration
of pollutants in the outside air has de‐
creased sufficiently, the system automati‐
cally switches back to outside air supply.▷Right LED on, recirculated air mode: the
supply of outside air into the vehicle is per‐
manently blocked. The system then recir‐
culates the air currently within the vehicle.
Adjusting air flow rate manually
Press the left side of the button to
reduce air flow. Press the right
side of the button to increase it.
The air volume may be reduced automatically
to save battery power. The display remains the
same.
Air distribution, manual

directed to the windshield, to the upper body
area, to the knee area and into the footwell.
Adjusting air distribution manually Press the button repeatedly until
the air distribution is set as re‐
quired. The corresponding LED lights up.
The manual air distribution is also switched on
when the AUTO program is deactivated.

the interior.
This function can be switched on
using the right-hand button under
the following conditions:
▷Up to 15 minutes after switching off the
engine.▷When the engine is warm.▷With sufficient battery voltage.▷At an external temperature under

Vehicle careCar care productsBMW recommends using cleaning and care
products from BMW, since these have been
tested and approved.
Car care and cleaning products
Follow the instructions on the container.
When cleaning the interior, open the doors or
windows.
Only use products intended for cleaning vehi‐
cles.
Cleansers can contain substances that are
dangerous and harmful to your health.◀
Vehicle paint Regular care contributes to driving safety and
value retention. Environmental influences in
areas with high air pollution or natural contami‐
nants, such as tree resin or pollen, can have an
impact on the vehicle paint. Tailor the fre‐
quency and extent of your car care to these in‐
fluences.
Immediately remove aggressive substances,
such as spilled fuel, oil, grease, or bird drop‐
pings, to prevent damage to or discoloration of
the paintwork.
Leather care
Remove dust from the leather often, using a
cloth or vacuum cleaner.
Otherwise, particles of dust and road grime
chafe in pores and folds, and lead to increased
wear and premature degradation of the leather
surface.
To guard against discoloration, such as from
clothing, provide leather care roughly every
two months.Seite 258MobilityCare258
