The systems can be switched on and off di‐  
rectly or by using two preset reel-on times.  
They remain switched on for 30 minutes.  
Operation takes place on the iDrive or the re‐  
mote control.  
Hints  
Parked-car heating in enclosed areas  
Do not operate the parked-car heating in  
enclosed areas, since breathing in harmful ex‐  
haust fumes may lead to loss of consciousness  
and death. The exhaust gases contain carbon  
monoxide, an odorless and colorless but highly  
toxic gas. Switch off the parked-car heating  
when refueling.◀  
Thumbwheel to vary the temperature, ar‐  
row 1.  
Toward blue: colder.  
Toward red: warmer.  
The set interior temperature for the driver  
and passenger are not changed.  
Operation of the parked-car heating  
Lever for changing the air flow direction,  
arrow 2.  
When parked-car heating is in operation,  
high temperatures can occur under the car  
body. Before the parked-car heating is  
switched on, make sure that no flammable ma‐  
terials, such as hay, leaves, grass, etc. are un‐  
der the vehicle. Such contact could lead to a  
fire, resulting in an increased risk of serious  
personal injury as well as property damage.◀  
Thumbwheels for opening and closing the  
vents continuously, arrows 3.  
Adjusting the ventilation  
Ventilation for cooling:  
Direct vent in your direction when vehicle's  
interior is too hot.  
At external temperatures below 32 ℉/0 ℃, wa‐  
ter vapor occurs that emerges from below the  
vehicle.  
Draft-free ventilation:  
Adjust the vent to let the air flow past you.  
Functional requirements  
Parked-car ventilation  
Parked-car ventilation/  
heating  
With the remote control or using the preset  
reel-on time: external temperature above  
approx. 59 ℉/15 ℃.  
The concept  
When operated directly and if there is no  
parked-car heating: any external tempera‐  
ture.  
The parked-car ventilation ventilates the vehi‐  
cle interior and lowers its temperature, if  
needed.  
Open the vents to allow air to flow out.  
The parked-car heating warms the vehicle in‐  
terior, making snow and ice easier to remove.  
With the ignition switched off, the air is auto‐
