Congratulations, and thank you for choosing a BMW. Thorough familiarity with your vehicle will provide you with enhanced control and security when you drive it. [. . . ] The activated-charcoal filter provides additional protection by filtering gaseous pollutants from the outside air. Your BMW center can replace the combined filter as a standard part of your scheduled maintenance. A substantial reduction in air flow indicates that the filter needs to be replaced early. For additional information on filter removal, refer to page 165.

Draft-free ventilation
You can adjust the blower controls for the upper body area to select the optimum airflow rates and directions for your personal comfort: Use rotary dials 1 to open and close the air outlets through an infinitely-variable range. Set the air outlets so that the air flows past you and is not directed straight at you. The rotary dial 3 allows you to mix the air from the outlets for the upper body with more or less cool air.
The seat cushion and backrest can be heated with the ignition key in position 2. You can call up different heating modes by repeatedly pressing the buttons. When the three indicator lamps are illuminated, the highest heating mode is activated. You can also switch the higher heating modes off directly: Press and hold the button slightly longer.
