Climate control -> Ventilation for your BMW i8 2014-2020

Climate control  
CONTROLS  
Preselected departure times, refer to  
page 170.  
Ventilation  
The stationary climate control can be switched  
on with the BMW Connected app, refer to  
page 171.  
The air automatically exits through the vents to  
the windshield, the side windows, the upper  
body region and into the floor area.  
The system switches off automatically after a  
certain period of time.  
If stationary climate control is used during the  
charging process, less air conditioning capacity  
will be required while driving. This optimizes the  
range.  
Thumbwheel for variable opening and closing  
of the vent, arrow 1.  
Lever for changing the air flow direction, ar‐  
row 2.  
Functional requirements  
Engine switched off and/or drive-ready state  
deactivated.  
Adjusting the ventilation  
Ventilation for cooling:  
High-voltage battery sufficiently charged or  
charging cable connected.  
Adjust the vent so that the air is directed to‐  
wards you, for instance when the vehicle is  
too hot.  
If the high-voltage battery is heavily dis‐  
charged, it can take some time after connect‐  
ing the charging cable, until the stationary cli‐  
mate control will be functional.  
Draft-free ventilation:  
Adjust the vent to let the air flow past you.  
Departure time preselected: dependent on  
the internal, external, and set desired temper‐  
ature.  
Stationary climate control  
Direct operation via iDrive: not dependent on  
the external temperature.  
Concept  
Stationary climate control cools or heats the car's  
interior prior to departure to a comfortable tem‐  
perature.  
To ensure the starting capability of the vehi‐  
cle, the stationary climate control may be au‐  
tomatically switched off, for instance after re‐  
peated switching on or due to an insufficient  
state of charge of the high-voltage battery.  
After the stationary climate control is  
The interior temperature is lowered with high  
cooling output.  
The system can heat the car's interior if needed.  
Snow and ice can be removed more easily.  
switched off due to an insufficient state of  
charge, charge the high-voltage battery and  
switch the drive-ready state on and off. The  
stationary climate control is available again.  
General information  
The stationary climate control can be switched  
on and off directly or via a preset departure time.  
The vents are open to allow air to flow out.  
Direct operation, refer to page 170.
