Controls and features -> Independent ventilation system for your BMW 7 Series 2001-2007

Roller sun blinds*  
Independent ventilation system  
111n  
This system uses the automatic climate  
control system blower to ventilate the  
passenger compartment and reduce in-  
terior temperatures while the vehicle is  
parked.  
The independent ventilation system is  
operated via the Multi-Information Dis-  
play (MID) or the onboard computer.  
Refer to the separate Operating In-  
structions of the onboard computer.  
You can preselect the activation time  
for a 30-minute ventilation cycle, or you  
can switch the system on and off manu-  
ally with the ignition key at position 1.  
Since the system uses a substantial  
amount of electrical current, you should  
refrain from activating it twice in suc-  
cession without allowing the battery to  
be recharged in normal operation be-  
tween use.  
To actuate, press the button briefly with  
the ignition key position 1 and higher.  
Roller sun blinds for the rear side  
windows*  
Use the strap to extract the blinds, then  
suspend them in the attachment pro-  
vided.  
When a preselected activation time is  
set, the independent ventilation system  
is operational at outside temperatures  
above 60 7 (166), or by direct switch  
activation. It cannot be switched on  
when the vehicle is moving.  
The air emerges via the vent outlets for  
the upper body. Therefore, the vents  
must be open for the system to oper-  
ate.
