BMW X5 3.0i SAV 2005 - Manual (Page 116)

116 n Independent ventilation *
You can use this system to ventilate the
interior and lower its temperature, using
the blower of the independent ventila-
tion or of the automatic climate control.
The independent ventilation is operated
via the MID Multi-Information Display,
refer to page
87 , or via the onboard
computer, refer to the separate
Owner's Manual.
You can set two different times for the
system to start; it will remain active for
30 minutes. You can also switch it on
and off directly. Since the system uses
a substantial amount of electrical cur-
rent, you should refrain from switching
it on twice in succession without allow-
ing the battery to be recharged in nor-
mal operation between use.
When a preselected activation time is
set, the independent ventilation is oper-
ational at outside temperatures above
approx. 60
7/166, or by direct switch
activation.
The air enters the passenger compart-
ment through the vent outlets in the
instrument cluster, which can be
adjusted for both direction and airflow.
Therefore, the vent outlets must be
open for the system to operate.
