Automatic climate control *
Tips for pleasant driving
For nearly all conditions, AUTO pro-
gram 6 offers the optimal air distribution
and airflow volume. Select the 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
adjusts the airflow and dis-
tribution patterns for you while also
using your preselected temperature
setting as the basis for adjusting the
interior climate to adapt to external
influences: summer, winter.
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 pressing
the AUTO button.
Temperature
Set the desired tempera-
ture individually on the
driver's and front passen-
ger side.
The automatic climate control adjusts
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 differ-
ent temperature settings in rapid
succession, the automatic climate con-
trol does not have sufficient time to
adjust the set temperature.
