The parked car ventilation provides ventilation
to the passenger compartment and lowers its
temperature, if necessary.

4. "Timer 1:" or "Timer 2:"
For any outside temperature, the system can be
switched on or off directly or via a preset
switch-on time. It will remain on for 30 minutes.
Due to its high power consumption, the parked
car ventilation system should not be switched
on twice in a row without driving in between to
allow the battery to recharge.
Open the vents so that air can flow out.
They can be operated via iDrive.

Compatibility
Vehicle equipment
If this symbol appears on the package
or in the instructions supplied with the
device to be operated, you can gener-
ally assume that the device is compatible with
the Integrated universal remote control.
In this chapter, all production, country, and
optional equipment that is offered in the model
range is described. For this reason, descrip-
tions will be given of some equipment that may
not be available in a vehicle, for example due to
the special options or national-market version
selected. This also applies to safety related
functions and systems.

Integrated universal remote
control
Controls on the interior rearview mirror
The concept
The Integrated universal remote control can be
used to operate up to 3 functions of remote-
controlled devices such as garage door open-
ers or lighting systems. The Integrated univer-
sal remote control thus replaces as many as
three different hand-held transmitters. To oper-
ate them, the buttons on the interior rearview
mirror must be programmed with the desired
functions. Programming requires the hand-held
transmitter for the respective device.

LED
Buttons
To prevent possible damage or injury,
before programming or using the inte-
grated universal remote control to operate a
device, always inspect the immediate area to
make certain that no people, animals or objects
are within the pivoting or travel range of the
device being operated.
Hand-held transmitter, required for
programming.
Programming
General information
1. Switch on the ignition.
Also follow the safety instructions supplied with
the hand-held transmitter.<
2. Initial operation:
Simultaneously hold down the right and
left buttons on the inside mirror for approx.
20 seconds until the LED on the inside
mirror flashes.
For security reasons, make sure to delete the
stored functions before selling the vehicle, refer
to page 113.
All programs of the buttons on the rearview
mirror are deleted.

3. Hold the hand-held transmitter of the
device to be controlled about 1 in/2.5 cm to
3 in/8 cm away from the buttons on the
inside mirror.
For information about synchronizing can also
be found in the operating instructions for the
device to be set.
Programming will be easier with the aid of a
second person.
The required distance depends on the
hand-held transmitter.
Synchronizing:
4. Simultaneously press and hold the button
of the desired function on the hand-held
transmitter and the button to be pro-
grammed on the inside mirror.
1. Park your vehicle within the range of the
remote-controlled device.
2. Program the Integrated universal remote
control as described above.
The LED on the inside mirror will flash
slowly at first.
3. Locate and press the synchronization
button on the device to be set. You have
approx. 30 seconds to perform the next
step.
5. As soon as the LED flashes rapidly, release
both buttons. The rapid flashing indicates
that the button on the inside mirror has
been programmed.
4. Hold down the programmed button on the
inside mirror for approx. 3 seconds and then
release it. Repeat this operation, up to three
times if necessary, to complete the syn-
chronization. If the synchronization has
succeeded, the programmed function is
performed.
If the LED does not flash rapidly within
60 seconds, change the distance between
the inside mirror and the hand-held trans-
mitter and repeat this step. This may
require several attempts. Allow at least
15 seconds between attempts.
6. To program additional functions on the
other buttons of the inside mirror, repeat
steps 3 through 5.
Reprogramming individual buttons
1. Switch on the ignition.
2. Hold the hand-held transmitter of the
device to be controlled about 1 in/2.5 cm to
3 in/8 cm away from the buttons on the
inside mirror.
The buttons on the inside mirror can be used to
operate the devices if the ignition is switched
on.
The required distance depends on the
hand-held transmitter.
Special procedure with alternating-
code systems
3. Press the desired button on the inside
mirror.
If the device fails to function even after repeated
programming, check whether the device to be
controlled uses an alternating-code system.
4. If the LED on the inside mirror flashes
slowly after approx. 20 seconds, press the
transmit key of the hand-held transmitter.
To do so, either read the instructions for the
device or hold down the programmed button on
the inside mirror. If the LED on the inside mirror
flashes quickly at first and then remains lit for
2 seconds, the device uses an alternating-code
system. The LED flashes and lights up repeat-
edly for approx. 20 seconds.
5. As soon as the LED flashes rapidly, release
both buttons.
If the LED does not flash rapidly after
approx. 60 seconds, alter the distance and
repeat the step.
In devices with an alternating-code system, the
Integrated universal remote control and the
device must also be synchronized.

after approx. 60 seconds, alter the distance
and repeat this step or, if the programming
by means of the hand-held transmitter was
interrupted, hold down the button on the
inside mirror and then press and release the
button on the hand-held transmitter several
times, holding it down for 2 seconds each
time.
Operation
To prevent possible damage or injury,
before programming or using the inte-
grated universal remote control to operate a
device, always inspect the immediate area to
make certain that no people, animals or objects
are within the pivoting or travel range of the
device being operated.

Adjustment button
Display
The display shows you the main or secondary
compass direction in which you are driving.
Operating principle
You can call up various functions by pressing
the adjustment button with a pointed object
such as a pen or similar item. The following
adjustment options are displayed one after the
other, depending on how long you keep the
adjustment button pressed:
Also follow the safety instructions supplied with
the hand-held transmitter.<
The button on the inside mirror can be used to
operate the device, for example the garage
door, if the engine is running or the ignition is
switched on. To do so, within the reception
range of the device, press the button of the
device until the function is triggered. The LED
on the inside mirror remains lit during transmis-
sion of the radio signal.

Storagecompartmentsinside
the vehicle
Compartments are located next to the steering
column, on the doors, in the center console, and
in the rear between the seats.
Do not place unsecured objects in them;
otherwise, they could endanger the car's
occupants, e.g. in the event of braking or
evasive maneuvers.<

Opening
Items of clothing hung from the hooks
must not obstruct the driver's view. Do
not hang heavy objects from the hooks; other-
wise, they could endanger the car's occupants,
e.g. in case of heavy braking or sudden
swerving.<
Cupholders
Use lightweight and shatterproof contain-
ers and do not transport hot beverages;
otherwise, there is an increased risk of injury in
the event of the accident. Do not force contain-
ers that are too large into the cupholders; other-
