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-

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-
ney. It is not necessary to manually change the
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

Genuine BMW fragrance cartridges are not
refillable, and must be replaced by new fra-
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.

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.

General
For safety reasons, the system switches off
automatically after 15 minutes at the latest.
The system can be switched on a maximum of
twice in succession.
WARNING
When the pre-conditioning is operating, high
temperatures 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 materials may ignite. There is a risk
of fire. Make sure that no flammable materi-
als, for example leaves, grass, gas, petrol, oil
or other flammable objects, can come into
contact with vehicle parts when the pre-con-
ditioning is operating.
The system will be available again once the
