Controls You will get maximum cooling capacity using this program if the engine is running and the outside temperature is above +41 7 (+5 6). Overview Air conditioner Maximum cooling 118nAutomatic climate control* Rear window defroster When the rear window defroster is activated, the indicator lamp comes on. The rear window defroster switches off automatically. > Left-hand indicator lamp on ­ AUC mode: the system recognizes pollutants in the outside air and blocks the flow of air when necessary. Depending on the air quality, the automatic system then switches back and forth between outside air supply and recirculation of the air within the vehicle. > Right-hand indicator lamp on: the flow of external air into the vehicle is permanently blocked. If you have a multifunction steering wheel with the recirculated-air button (refer to page 25), you can also use it to switch between "Off" and the recirculated-air mode or AUC and the recirculated-air mode. If the windows should fog over in the recirculated air mode, switch the recirculated air mode off and increase the air supply as required. < The heat which is stored in the engine is utilized for heating the interior when the engine has been switched off (while waiting at a railroad crossing, for instance). In ignition key position 1, you can alter the settings of the automatic climate control. In ignition key position 0, the system automatically directs heated air to the windshield, side windows and footwells. This function may be activated when the outside temperature is below approx. 59 7 (15 6), the engine is at operating temperature, and the battery is adequately charged. The LED on the button will light up when all conditions have been met. < 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 requirements: Use rotary dial 1 to open and close the airflow through an infinitely-variable range. Set the outlets so that the air flows past you and does not flow directly onto you. Rotary dial 3 allows you to adjust the airflow from these outlets by adding heat or cooling as desired: Turn toward blue ­ colder. Turn toward red ­ warmer. 390de051 Online Edition for Part No. 01 41 0 155 420 - © 01/01 BMW Group Residual heating mode Automatic climate control* Microfilter, activated-charcoal filter The microfilter removes dust and pollen from the incoming air. The activatedcharcoal filter provides additional protection by filtering gaseous pollutants from the outside air. Your BMW center replaces this combined filter as a standard part of your scheduled maintenance. A substantial reduction in airflow indicates that the filter must be replaced before scheduled maintenance. Seat heating* 119n 390de354 390us717 Rear passenger area ventilation Rotary dial 1 opens the outlets in an infinitely-variable range. You can vary the temperature of the air as it flows out using rotary dial 3 in the same manner as for the front rotary dial. You can change the direction of the airflow with levers 2. 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 keys. The highest heating mode is on when the three indicator lamps are lit; one lamp is lit for lowest heating.
