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.

▷ Battery is sufficiently charged.
Pre-conditioning cools or heats the car's interior
prior to departure to a comfortable temperature.
The system automatically cools, vents, and heats
depending on the interior, external, and set tem‐
perature. Snow and ice may be removed more
easily.
▷ For reasons of safety, the system can only be

Enabling the automatic engine
start function
The automatic engine start must be enabled be‐
fore using the system. Otherwise, the engine
cannot switch on automatically to climatize the
car's interior.
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.
