Overview

This chapter describes all standard, country-spe‐

cific and optional features offered with the series.

It also describes features and functions that are

not necessarily available in your vehicle, e.g., due

to the selected options or country versions. This

also applies to safety-related functions and sys‐

tems. When using these functions and systems,

the applicable laws and regulations must be ob‐

served.

Air conditioning

Principle

AUTO program

Principle

The air in the car's interior will be cooled and de‐

humidified and, depending on the temperature

setting, warmed again.

The AUTO program cools, ventilates or heats

the car's interior automatically.

Functional requirement

The car's interior can only be cooled with the

drive-ready state switched on.

The air distribution and the temperature are con‐

trolled automatically depending on the interior

temperature and the desired temperature setting

including the selected intensity of the air flow.

Depending on the weather, the windshield and

the side windows may fog up briefly when drive-

ready state is switched on.

Depending on the selected settings and outside

influences, the air is directed to the windshield,

side windows, upper body, and into the floor

area.

Air conditioning is switched on automatically with

the AUTO program.

Point the side air vents toward the side windows.

When using the cooling mode, condensation that

will exit below the vehicle.

The cooling function is switched on with the

AUTO program.

Maximum cooling

Principle

At the same time, a condensation sensor con‐

trols the program so as to prevent window con‐

densation as much as possible.

The AUTO program is switched off automati‐

cally, when manual air distribution is set.

The system is set to the lowest temperature, op‐

timum air flow and recirculated-air mode with the

drive-ready state switched on.

Controlling the intensity of the air

flow

With the AUTO program switched on, the inten‐

sity can be adjusted. This changes the automatic

control for the air mass.

Air recirculation mode

Principle

You may react to unpleasant odors or pollutants

in the immediate environment by temporarily

suspending the supply of outside air. The system

then recirculates the interior air.

Press the left or right side of the button:

to decrease or increase intensity.

When recirculated-air mode is switched off, fresh

air is directed into the vehicle's interior.

The selected intensity is shown on the display of

the automatic climate control.

Switch air recirculation on/off

Automatic recirculated-air

control

Press the button.

The LED of the button is illuminated

when the air-recirculation mode is switched on.

Principle

The automatic recirculated-air control recognizes

pollutants in the outside air. The outside air sup‐

ply is shut off and the interior air is recirculated.

To prevent window fogging, recirculated-air

mode switches off automatically after a certain

amount of time, depending on the environmental

conditions.

General information

With constant air recirculation mode, the air qual‐

ity in the car's interior deteriorates and window

fogging increases.

If the system is activated, a sensor detects pollu‐

tants in the outside air and controls the shut-off

automatically.

If there is window condensation, switch off recir‐

culated-air mode or defog the windows.

If the system is deactivated, outside air continu‐

ously flows into the car's interior.

Air flow, manual

Principle

With constant air recirculation mode, the air qual‐

ity in the car's interior deteriorates and window

fogging increases.

The air flow for climate control can be adjusted

manually.

If there is window condensation, switch off recir‐

culated-air mode or defog the windows.

If the exhaust pipe is blocked or ventilation is in‐

sufficient, harmful exhaust gases can pollute

the area in and around the vehicle or enter into

the vehicle. The exhaust gases contain pollu‐

tants which are colorless and odorless. In en‐

closed areas or areas with insufficient ventila‐

tion, exhaust gases can also accumulate

General information

Fragrancing

Two different fragrances can be selected in the

vehicle. A variety of other fragrances is possible

by replacing the fragrance cartridges.

General information

Fragrancing is done at intervals in order to avoid

a habituation effect.

The following criteria can influence the percep‐

tion of scents in the vehicle interior:

Two fragrance cartridges in the vehicle allow

switching between the fragrances.

▷ Automatic climate control settings.

▷ Temperature and atmospheric humidity.

▷ Time of day and season.

The fragrance cartridges are located in the glove

compartment.

To ensure a pleasant fragrance inside of the ve‐

hicle when starting the trip, fragrancing can occur

prior to the trip. The system is automatically

switched on with the pre-ventilation if fragrancing

was switched on at the completion of the last

trip.

▷ Physical condition of the vehicle occupants,

for instance fatigue.

BMW recommends the use of genuine BMW

fragrance cartridges.

The genuine BMW fragrance cartridges are not

suitable for refilling. When a cartridge is empty,

replace it with a new fragrance cartridge.

Functional requirements

▷ The fragrance cartridges are sufficiently filled.

Safety information

▷ The interior temperature is be‐

tween 41 ℉/+5 ℃ and 104 ℉/+40 ℃.

Warning

▷ Open the air vents to allow the fragrance to

flow out.

Refilled genuine BMW fragrance cartridges can

cause the emission of harmful substances, mal‐

functions, and damage to the system. There is

a risk of injury or risk of damage to property. Do

not refill genuine fragrance cartridges. When a

cartridge is empty, replace it with a new fra‐

grance cartridge.
