Ventilation  
Principle  
Ventilation in the rear  
The ventilation system offers individual adjust-  
ment ranges for direct/indirect ventilation in or-  
der to optimize the flow of air within the vehi-  
cle.  
General information  
Open the air vents and position them to ensure  
effective air conditioning.  
The air flow heats or cools noticeably, depend-  
ing on the set desired temperature.

Climate control  
CONTROLS  
The air automatically exits through the air  
vents to the windshield, the side windows, the  
upper body area and into the footwell.  
Air quality  
General information  
The air quality in the interior is improved by the  
following components:  
The system switches off automatically after  
approx. 30 minutes or when the drive-ready  
state is activated.  
Emission tested passenger compartment.  
Interior filter.  
Preconditioning the vehicle while it charges,  
makes it easier for the climate control system  
to regulate the temperature while driving. This  
increases the range.  
Air conditioning system to control the  
temperature, air flow and recirculated-air  
mode.  
Functional requirements  
Pre-conditioning.  
The vehicle is in idle state or standby state.  
The high-voltage battery is sufficiently  
charged or the charging process is ongoing.  
Interior filter  
The interior filter cleans the incoming fresh  
air or the circulated interior air in recirculation  
mode.  
If the high-voltage battery is deeply dis-  
charged, it may take some time for the pre-  
conditioning to be ready after the charging  
process is started.  
Depending on the equipment:  
Dust and pollen is filtered out from the in-  
flowing air.  
Time and date are set correctly.  
The ventilation air vents are open.  
Nano-particle emissions are reduced.  
Gaseous pollutants are filtered.  
Turning on/turning off the pre-  
conditioning  
Microbial particles, viruses and allergens  
are filtered.  
The manufacturer of the vehicle recommends  
having the interior filter changed during vehicle  
maintenance.  
Turning on/turning off via iDrive  
1.  
Tap the icon for the Climate menu  
on the menu bar.  
Pre-conditioning  
2. "Pre-conditioning"  
3. Select the desired setting.  
Principle  
Turning on via vehicle key  
The system can be switched on using the vehi-  
cle key.  
Pre-conditioning cools or heats the vehicle in-  
terior to a comfortable temperature, depend-  
ing on the inside/outside temperature, prior to  
starting a drive. This function makes it easier  
to remove snow and ice.  
Press the button on the vehicle key  
three times within 1 second.  
After using the vehicle key, it takes ap-  
prox. 3 seconds until pre-conditioning turns on.  
General information  
The pre-conditioning can be switched on and  
off directly or via a preset departure time.
