Rear window defroster, Temperature, Mode – BMW 325Ci Coupe 2004 User Manual

Page 92: Air conditioning

Air supply/Blower

You can select blower speeds
from 1 to 4. The heating and
ventilation become more and
more effective as the air sup-

ply settings are increased. In position 0,
the blower and the heater are switched
off. The outside air supply is blocked in
position 0.

Temperature

In order to increase the tem-
perature of the passenger
compartment, turn to the right
toward the red zone. The tem-

perature of the incoming air is kept con-
stant.

Air distribution

You can direct air to flow onto
the windows

, toward your

upper body

or into the

footwell

. All intermediate

settings are possible. In the

setting,

there is a low flow of air onto the win-
dows to keep them free of condensa-
tion.

Rear window defroster

When the rear window defroster
is activated, the indicator lamp

comes on. The rear window defroster
switches off automatically after a short
while.

You can have your vehicle pro-
grammed in such a way that the

rear window defroster switches on
automatically. This occurs within 5 min-
utes after starting the engine when out-
side temperatures are below approx.
39

7/+46.

Air conditioning

The air is cooled and dehumidi-
fied and – depending on the

temperature setting – rewarmed.

Depending on the weather, the wind-
shield may fog over briefly when the
engine is started. Air conditioning helps
prevent the windows from fogging up.

Condensation forms during opera-
tion of the air conditioning system,

which then exits under the vehicle.
Traces of condensed water of this kind
are thus normal.

Outside air/Recirculated-air mode

You can respond to unpleasant
external odors by temporarily

blocking the supply of outside air. The
system then recirculates the air cur-
rently within the vehicle.

If the windows should fog over in
the recirculated-air mode, switch

this mode off and increase the air sup-
ply as required.
