Tips for pleasant driving
To use the automatic function, press
the AUTO button 6. Select an interior
temperature that is comfortable for you.
Detailed setting options are described
for you in the following section.
Your BMW Sports Activity Vehicle
center can program the settings of
your vehicle in such a manner that,
when you unlock the vehicle with your
individualized key, your own personal-
ized setting for the automatic climate
control is initiated.

Automatic air distribution
The AUTO program
assumes the adjustment of
the air distribution and the air supply for
you and also adapts the temperature to
external influences – summer, winter –
to meet preferences you can specify.
Individual air distribution
You can cancel the AUTO
program by selecting spe-
cific air distribution patterns
for your personal comfort,
the automatic air supply
remains in operation. You can direct air
to flow onto the windows
, toward
the upper body , and into the foot-
well . You can reactivate the auto-
matic air distribution mode by selecting
the AUTO button.
Temperature
You can make individual
temperature settings on the
driver's side or the front
passenger side. Your input appears in
the display 9. The figures in the display
provide a general indication of interior
temperature. We recommend +70 7/
+226 as a comfortable setting,
whether the air conditioner is operating
or not. When you start the vehicle, this
system ensures that the selected tem-
perature is achieved as quickly as pos-
sible. It then maintains this tempera-
ture, regardless of the season.
To change the units of measurement –
7
/6 – of the display, refer to page 72
or 79 .
Air supply
In the AUTO program the
air supply is automatically
controlled, and AUTO appears in the
display 9, refer to the overview on
page
103 . You can vary the air supply
by pressing the left or right button half.
When your setting is displayed by bars,
the automatic air supply is switched off.
Automatic air distribution maintains its
setting. You can reactivate the auto-
matic air supply by pressing the AUTO
button.
When you press the left side of the but-
ton during operation at minimum blower
speed all displays are canceled: the
blower, heating and air conditioner are
switched off. The outside air supply is
closed. You can switch the system
back on by pressing any button of the
automatic climate control, except the
MAX button 16.
