Overview of control elements  
This chapter describes all standard, country-  
specific and optional features offered with the  
series. It also describes features that are not  
necessarily available in your vehicle, e. g., due  
to the selected options or country versions.  
This also applies to safety-related functions  
and systems. When using these functions and  
systems, the applicable country provisions  
must be observed.  
Operation  
Concept  
The iDrive combines the functions of many  
switches. Thus, these functions can be oper‐  
ated from a central location.

General information  
To clean the Control Display, follow the care  
instructions.  
WARNING  
Operating the integrated information  
systems and communication devices while  
driving can distract from traffic. It is possible to  
lose control of the vehicle. There is a risk of an  
accident. Only use the systems or devices  
when the traffic situation allows. If necessary,  
stop and use the systems and devices while  
the vehicle is stationary.◀  
Do not place objects close to the Control Dis‐  
play; otherwise, the Control Display can be  
damaged.  
In the case of very high temperatures on the  
Control Display, e.g., due to intense solar radi‐  
ation, the brightness may be reduced down to  
complete deactivation. Once the temperature  
is reduced, e.g., through shadow or climate  
control system, the normal functions are re‐  
stored.
