using recirculated air, turn off the
recirculated air mode, and increase air-
flow if necessary, or press the button

dows."<

condensation
This operation quickly re-
moves ice and condensation
from the windshield and the
side windows.
Rear window defroster
Whenever the hardtop is on,
the indicator lamp lights up
when the rear window de-
froster is turned on. The rear window
defroster switches off automatically.
Refer to page 58.
The indicator lamp is always
active. The rear window defroster
will not work if the hardtop is not in
place.<

You can adjust the direction of the air-
flow using the levers 2.
Set the air outlets so that the air flows
past you and is not directed straight at
you.
Microfilter
The microfilter removes dust and pollen
from the incoming air. Your BMW cen-
ter will change this filter during routine
maintenance. A substantial reduction in
air flow indicates that the filter needs to
be replaced early.
