Automatic air recirculation control,
AUC/recirculated-air mode
If the air outside the vehicle has an unpleasant
odour or contains pollutants, the supply to the
interior of the vehicle can be shut off. The air
inside the vehicle is then recirculated.
Press button repeatedly to call up an
operating mode:▷LEDs off: ambient air is constantly entering
the car.▷Left-hand LED on, AUC mode: a sensor
detects pollutants in the outside air and
shuts it out automatically.▷Right-hand LED on, recirculated-air mode:
the ambient air supply is permanently shut
off.
The recirculated-air mode automatically
switches off at low outside temperatures after
a given time, to avoid condensation.
Continuous recirculated-air mode deteriorates
the air quality in the interior and condensation
on the windows increases.
If there is condensation on the window, switch
off recirculated-air mode and press the AUTO
button to use the condensation sensor. Ensure
that air can flow towards the windscreen.
Adjusting the air flow manually To be able to adjust the air flow manually, first
switch off the AUTO program.
Pressing the button on the left or right
reduces or increases the air flow.
The selected air flow is shown on the display
for automatic air conditioning.
In order to protect the battery the air flow rate
of the automatic air conditioning is reduced, if
necessary.
Adjusting the air distribution manually Press button repeatedly to select a
program:
▷Upper body area.▷Upper body area and footwell.▷Footwell.▷Windows and footwell: only on the driver's
side.▷Windows, upper body area and footwell:
only on the driver's side.
If there is condensation on the window, press
the AUTO button in order to use the conden‐
sation sensor.
Defrosting windows and removing
condensation
Press the button.
This removes ice and condensation
quickly from the windscreen and the front side
windows.
To do this, point the side nozzles at the side
windows if necessary.
The air flow can be adapted when the program
is active.
If there is condensation on the window, switch
on the cooling function as well or press the AUTO button to use the condensation sensor.
Heated rear window Press the button.
The heated rear window is switched
off automatically after a certain period of time.
Microfilter/activated charcoal filter
In outside and recirculated-air mode, the mi‐
crofilter/activated carbon filter filters dust, pol‐ len and harmful gases from the air.
This filter should be changed during mainte‐
nance on your vehicle, see page 191.

The system can be switched on and off at any
ambient temperature either directly or via two
preselected switch-on times. It remains
switched on for 30 minutes.
Open the ventilation vents so the air can flow
out.

SAE 0W-30 can be used.
Further information regarding suitable oil
specifications and viscosities of engine oils
can be enquired with a Service Partner or a
qualified specialist workshop.
Suitable engine oil grades
Engine oils with following oil specifications can
be topped up:Oil specificationBMW Longlife-01.BMW Longlife-01 FE.BMW Longlife-04.BMW Longlife-12 FE.

MaintenanceVehicle equipment
This chapter describes all standard, national
and special equipment provided in the model
series. Equipment not available in the vehicle is
therefore also described, for example the se‐
lected special equipment or national version.
This also applies to safety-relevant functions
and systems. Comply with the relevant na‐
tional regulations when using the correspond‐
ing functions and systems.
BMW Maintenance System
The maintenance system points out the nec‐
essary maintenance measures and so sup‐
ports in maintaining the road and operational
safety of the vehicle.
Scopes and intervals may vary depending on
national version. Replacement work, spare
parts, operating materials and wear material
are calculated separately. Further information
is available from a Service Partner or a qualified
specialist workshop.
Condition Based Service,
CBS
Sensors and advanced algorithms monitor the
conditions in which your vehicle is used. Con‐
dition Based Service uses this information to
calculate the maintenance requirements.
The system thus enables adaptation of the
scope of maintenance to the individual usage
profile.
Detailed information on service requirements,
see page 87, can be displayed at the Control
Display.Service data in the remote control
Information on maintenance requirements is
continually saved in the remote control. The Service Partner or a qualified specialist work‐
shop can read out this data and suggest an op‐
timised maintenance scope for your vehicle.
This is why you should hand over the remote
control that was last used for driving to your
service advisor with the vehicle.
Periods out of use
Immobilisation periods with the vehicle battery
disconnected are not taken into account.
Updating the time-dependent maintenance
scope such as brake fluid and any engine oil
and microfilter or activated carbon filter can be
done by a Service Partner or a qualified spe‐
cialist workshop.
Service history Have maintenance and repair carried out by a
Service Partner or a qualified specialist work‐
shop.
The maintenance work carried out is entered in
the proof of maintenance and the vehicle data.
The entries are, just like a service booklet, evi‐
dence of regular maintenance.
If an entry is made in the electronic service his‐
tory of the vehicle, service-relevant data is not
only saved in the vehicle but also on the central
IT systems of BMW AG, Munich.
The data entered in the electronic service his‐
tory can also be viewed by the new vehicle
owner after a change of vehicle owner. In addi‐
tion, all Service Partners and other authorised
and qualified specialist workshops can view
the data entered in the electronic service his‐
tory.Seite 191MaintenanceMobility191
