Automatic climate control
Tips for pleasant driving
Use the automatic system (AUTO
button 6). Select an interior tempera-
ture that is comfortable for you – we
recommend 72 7 (22 6). When the
outside temperature is above 41 7
(5 6), you can also use the air condi-
tioner 12. This will dry the air as well as
preventing condensation on the
window surfaces – if there are passen-
gers with damp clothing, for example.
Set the air outlets 2 so that the air
flows past you and is not directed
straight at you. Set the rotary dial
between the air outlets 2 for the upper
body to a medium position, since air
that is somewhat cooler promotes
driving without fatigue.
The following description will lead you
through additional individual adjust-
ments.
Your BMW center can program
the settings of your vehicle in such
a manner that, when you unlock the
vehicle with your individualized key,
your own personalized setting for the
automatic climate control is initiated.<
Automatic air distribution
The AUTO program
assumes the adjustment of
the air distribution and the air supply for
you and – in addition to that – adapts
the temperature to external influences
(summer, winter) to meet preferences
you can specify. This program main-
tains a comfortable in-car climate
regardless of the season. Select an
interior temperature that is comfortable
for you – we recommend 72 7 (22 6).
The selected temperature and AUTO
for the air supply appear in the
display 9. Refer to the overview on
page 94. Open the air outlets for the
upper body. Switch on the air condi-
tioner 12 in warm weather. The
maximum cooling capacity is achieved
when you set rotary dial 3 (refer to
page 98) to cold.
Individual air distribution
You can cancel the AUTO
program by selecting
specific distribution patterns
to suit your own individual
requirements. You can
direct air to flow onto the windows ,
toward the upper body , and into the
footwell .
Temperature
You can make individual
temperature adjustments on
the driver's side or the front
passenger side. The figures in the
display provide a general indication of
interior temperature. We recommend
72 7 (22 6) as a comfortable setting,
whether the air conditioner is operating
or not. When you start the vehicle, this
system ensures that the selected
temperature is achieved as quickly as
possible. It then maintains this temper-
ature, regardless of the season.
Set the rotary dial 3 (refer to "Draft-free
ventilation" on page 98) to a medium
setting, since air that is somewhat
cooler promotes driving without fatigue.
Utilize this method of mixing air espe-
cially for making minor adjustments for
personal comfort.
You can set uncontrolled heater
output up to 90 7 (32 6). Full
cooling output is available from the air
conditioner down to 60 7 (16 6).<
