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 immedi-
ate environment by temporarily

suspending the supply of outside air. The sys-
tem then recirculates the air currently within the
vehicle. In AUC mode, a sensor detects pollut-
ants 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 system
detects 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 com-
partment, e.g. while stopped at a
school to pick up a child.

The function can be switched on when the fol-
lowing conditions are met:

up to 15 minutes after switching off the
engine

engine at operating temperature

sufficient battery voltage

outside temperature below 77

7/256

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 off automatic climate control

The air volume, the heater and the
cooling function are all switched
off.
You can restart the automatic cli-

mate control by pressing any of its buttons
except the REST button.

Ventilation

1 Knurled wheels for smoothly opening and

closing air vents

2 Levers for changing the airflow direction

Do not drop any foreign objects into the
vent outlets; otherwise, they could be cat-

apulted 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 gas-
eous pollutants from the outside air. Your BMW
center replaces this combined filter as a stan-
