A congenial climate
The AUTO program offers the optimum air distribution and air volume for virtually all conditions, refer to AUTO program below. Now you only need to select an interior temperature that you find pleasant.
The following sections contain more detailed information on the available setting options. Most settings are stored for the remote control currently in use.
AUTO program
The AUTO program handles the adjustment of air volume and air distribution to the windshield and
side windows, in the direction of the upper body and in the footwell. It also adapts your instructions for the temperature to outside influences throughout the year.
The cooling is switched on automatically with the AUTO program. At the same time, a condensation sensor controls the program in such a way that window condensation is prevented as much as possible.
Intensity of AUTO program
To meet your individual needs, you can increase or decrease the intensity of the automatic climate control.
1 Press the button. This opens the start menu
2 Move the controller to the left to open “Climate”.
3 Select “Automatic programs” and press the controller.
4 Select the desired intensity and press the controller.
The marked intensity of the automatic
program is switched on.
Convertible program*
When the convertible top is opened, the convertible program can also be selected. In the convertible program, the automatic climate control is optimized for driving with the convertible top open. In addition, the air volume is increased as the speed increases.
If the convertible program has been selected, it is automatically active every time the top is opened. The effect of the convertible program can be greatly enhanced if the wind deflector is installed.
Temperature
Set the desired temperature individually on the driver’s and front passenger side The automatic climate control
achieves this temperature as quickly as possible at any time of year, if necessary with the maximum cooling or heating capacity, and then keeps it constant.
When switching between different temperature settings in rapid succession, the automatic climate control does not have sufficient time to achieve the set temperature In the highest setting you activate the maximum heating output, regardless of the outside temperature
Adapting temperature in upper body region
1 Open the start menu.
2 Open “Climate”.
3 Select “Vent settings” and press the controller.
4 Select the field by moving the controller and adjust the temperature by turning the controller

You can adjust the air volume by turning. You can reactivate the automatic mode for the air volume with the AUTO button.
Manual air distribution
1 Open the start menu.
2 Open “Climate”.
3 Select “Vent settings” and press the controller The driver’s and front passenger side can be adjusted separately with the fields on the right or left side.
4 Select the driver’s or front passenger side if necessary. Move the controller to the right or left repeatedly until the driver’s side or front passenger side is selected.
5 Select the desired field by moving the controller.
6 Turn the controller to adjust the air distribution.
Driver’s side:
1 Air directed toward the windshield and side windows
2 Air for the upper body
3 Air to footwell
Front passenger side:
4 Air for the upper body
5 Air to footwell
Pressing the AUTO button cancels the air distribution settings via iDrive and vice versa.
Switching cooling function on and off
The cooling function cools and dehumidifies the incoming air before reheating it as needed according to the temperature setting. Depending on the weather, the windshield may fog over briefly when the engine is started.
The cooling function is switched on automatically with the AUTO program. The passenger Controls 109
Reference At a glance Driving tips Communications Navigation Entertainment Mobility compartment can only be cooled with the engine running.
Maximum cooling
Maximally cooled air is obtained as quickly as possible from an outside temperature above approx. 327/ 06 and with the engine running.
The automatic climate control changes over to the lowest temperature and switches into the recirculated-air mode. The maximum air volume only flows out of the vents for the upper body. It is therefore necessary for these vents to be open for maximum cooling.
AUC Automatic recirculated-air control/recirculated-air mode
You can respond to unpleasant odors or pollutants in the immediate environment by temporarily suspending the supply of outside air. The system then recirculates the air currently within the vehicle. In AUC mode, a sensor detects pollutants in the outside air and controls the shut-off automatically.
Press the button repeatedly to run through the following control sequence:
- LED off: outside air flows into the vehicle continuously.
- Right LED on, AUC mode: the systemdetects pollutants in the outside air and responds by blocking the supply of outside air when required.
- Left LED on, recirculated-air mode: the supply of outside air into the vehicle is shut off continuously.
If condensation starts to form on the inside window surfaces during operation in the recirculated-air mode, you should switch it off while also increasing the air volume as required. The recirculated-air mode should not be used over a longer period of time, as the air quality inside the vehicle deteriorates continuously.
Residual heat
The heat stored in the engine is used to heat the passenger compartment, e.g. while stopped at a school to pick up a child.
The function can be switched on when the following conditions are met:
- up to 15 minutes after switching off theengine
- engine at operating temperature
- sufficient battery voltage
- outside temperature below 77 F/25 c
The LED lights up when the function is switched on. With the ignition lock at radio readiness or
higher the interior temperature, the air volume and the air distribution can be set.
Switching automatic climate control on and off
The air volume, the heater and the cooling function are all switched off.
You can restart the automatic climate control by pressing any of its buttons except the REST button.
Ventilation
1 Knurled wheels for smoothly opening and closing vent outlets
2 Levers for changing the airflow direction
Do not drop any foreign objects into the vent outlets; otherwise, they could be catapulted outwards and cause injuries
Ventilation for cooling
Adjust the vent outlets to direct the flow of cool air in your direction, for instance, if the interior has become too warm, etc.
Draft-free ventilation
Set the vent outlets so that the air flows past you and is not directed straight at you.
Microfilter/activated-charcoal filter
The microfilter removes dust and pollen from the incoming air. The activated-charcoal filter provides additional protection by filtering gaseous pollutants from the outside air. Your BMW center replaces this combined filter as a standard part of your scheduled maintenance. You can have more detailed information shown on the Control Display.
Display options
