Climate Switching the system on/off Switching off With the blower at its lowest setting, press the left side of the button to switch off the automatic climate control. All displays are cleared except for the rear window defroster if it is switched on. The outside air supply is blocked when the automatic climate control is switched off. If the air quality deteriorates or the window fogs over, switch the system back on and increase the air volume.< Microfilter/activated-charcoal filter The microfilter traps dust and pollen in the incoming air. The activated-charcoal filter provides additional protection by filtering gaseous pollutants from the outside air. Your BMW center replaces this combined filter during routine maintenance. Parked car ventilation* The concept The parked car ventilation provides ventilation to the passenger compartment and lowers its temperature, if necessary. The parked car ventilation system is operated via iDrive, refer to page 16. Two different switch-on times can be preselected. The parked car ventilation remains switched on for approx. 30 minutes. The system can also be switched on and off directly. Due to its high power consumption, it should not be switched on twice in a row without driving in between to allow the battery to recharge. The parked car ventilation system comes on if the outside temperature is above 59 7/15 6 when the switch-on time was preselected, but is ready for use at any temperature when the system is switched on directly. Switching on Press any button except the ALL or the rear window defroster button to reactivate the automatic climate control.

Ventilation for cooling Adjust the vent outlets to direct the flow of cool air in your direction, for instance if it has become too hot in the car. Draft-free ventilation Set the vent outlets so that the air flows past you and not straight at you. 94 Online Edition for Part no. 01 41 2 602 846 - © 08/09 BMW AG
