ured desired temperature and current interior

temperature:

Setting the intensity

▷

The red or blue bar next to the temperature

display indicates the progress of heating up

General

When the automatic programme is enabled,

the intensity of individual air conditioning func-

tions can be individually adjusted, for example:

▷

The desired interior temperature is reached

as soon as the bar is no longer displayed.

Active air conditioning functions, for example,

seat heating are displayed as icons in the cli-

▷

"LOW"

"MEDIUM"

"HIGH"

Active air conditioning functions are highligh-

Each level has a specific control range of the

intensity.

Based on the stored data models, the intensi-

ties are dynamically adjusted during the jour-

desired intensity to lower or higher levels while

driving.

Temperature

Principle

The automatic air conditioning cools or heats

to the set temperature and then keeps the

temperature constant.

General

Avoid switching between different temperature

settings in rapid succession. The automatic air

conditioning may not have sufficient time to

grance cartridges after they are used up.

To ensure a pleasant interior fragrance in the

vehicle at the start of the journey, fragrancing

can be started before you set off. The system

is automatically switched on with pre-cooling if

fragrancing was switched on at the end of the

last journey.

CONTROLS

Pre-cooling/pre-heating

WARNING

When the pre-heating is operating, high tem-

peratures can be generated under the body,

for example because of the exhaust system.

If flammable materials come into contact with

hot parts of the exhaust system, these mate-

rials may ignite. There is a risk of fire. Make

sure that no flammable materials, for exam-

ple leaves, grass, gas, petrol, oil or other

flammable objects, can come into contact

with vehicle parts when the pre-heating is

operating. Switch off the pre-heating before

refuelling.

Principle

The system consists of the pre-cooling and

pre-heating functions. It allows the tempera-

ture of the interior to be adjusted before the

journey starts. The interior is ventilated or

heated depending on the set temperature and

ambient temperature. When doing so, the sys-

tem uses any available residual heat from the

engine or the vehicle's fuel for generating heat.

General

The system can be switched on and off directly

or for a preselected departure time.

Operating requirements

The switch-on time is calculated based on the

outside temperature. The system will switch

on in good time before the preselected depar-

ture time.

▷

The vehicle is in rest state or standby state.

▷

The vehicle battery must be sufficiently

charged.

The system switches off automatically after a

while. It continues to run for a short time after it

has been switched off.

When activated, the pre-cooling/pre-heat-

ing uses power from the vehicle battery. As

a result, the maximum operating time is re-

stricted to protect the vehicle battery. After

the engine is started or after driving a short

distance, the system will be available again.

If outside temperatures are below 0 ℃, 32 ℉,

water vapour condenses and exits underneath

the vehicle.

▷

For pre-heating: the fuel tank capacity is

sufficient.

Safety information

If the fuel tank capacity is low and the ve-

hicle is parked on a slant, the pre-heating

function may be restricted.

DANGER

A blocked exhaust pipe or inadequate ven-

tilation can allow harmful exhaust fumes to

enter the vehicle. The exhaust fumes contain

pollutants which are colourless and odour-

less. In enclosed spaces, exhaust fumes can

also build up outside the vehicle. There is

a danger to life. Keep the exhaust pipe

clear and ensure sufficient ventilation. Do

not switch on the pre-heating in enclosed

spaces, for example closed garages.

Activating with the My BMW App

Depending on the equipment, the My BMW

Principle

Pre-conditioning cools or warms the interior to

a comfortable temperature before the start of

a journey. The system does this by automati-

cally cooling, ventilating or heating depending

on the internal, external and set desired tem-

perature. Any snow and ice can be removed

more easily.

WARNING

When the pre-conditioning is operating, high

body, for example because of the exhaust

system. If flammable materials come into

contact with hot parts of the exhaust system,

these materials may ignite. There is a risk

of fire. Make sure that no flammable materi-
