This chapter describes all standard, country-
specific, and optional equipment offered with
the series. It also describes features and func-
tions that are not necessarily available in the
vehicle, e.g., due to the selected options or
country versions. This also applies to safety
functions and systems. When using these
functions and systems, the applicable laws
and regulations must be observed.
The manufacturer of the vehicle recommends
having the interior filter changed during vehicle

General information
The temperature of the ventilation in the upper
body area can be adjusted.
Depending on the weather, the windshield and
the side windows may fog up briefly when
drive-ready state is switched on.
The air flow of the ventilation in the upper body
area heats or cools noticeably, depending on
the adjusted temperature.
Air conditioning is switched on automatically
with the AUTO program.
When using the cooling mode, condensation
that will exit below the vehicle.

Principle
The automatic recirculated-air control recog-

air supply is shut off and the interior air is recir-
culated.
6. "Automatic"
Depending on the selected settings and out-
side influences, the air is directed to the wind-
shield, side windows, upper body, and into the
footwell.
General information
Point the side air vents toward the side win-
dows.
If the system is activated, a sensor detects
pollutants in the outside air and controls the
shut-off automatically.
The air conditioning is switched on with the
AUTO program.
If the system is deactivated, outside air contin-
uously flows into the interior.
At the same time, a condensation sensor con-
trols the program so as to prevent window
condensation as much as possible.
With constant air recirculation mode, the air
quality in the interior deteriorates and window
fogging increases.
The AUTO program is switched off automati-
cally, when manual air distribution is set.
If there is window condensation, switch off re-
circulated-air mode or defog the windows.

Principle
You may react to unpleasant odors or pollu-
tants in the immediate environment by tempo-
rarily suspending the supply of outside air. The
system then recirculates the interior air.

The air flow is not directed towards the pas-
sengers. The vehicle interior is warmed or
cooled indirectly, depending on the set tem-
perature.
If there is window condensation, switch on the
AUTO program or the air conditioning to utilize
the condensation sensor. Make sure that air
can flow to the windshield.

Safety information
Activating the departure time
Functional requirement
DANGER
To switch on the pre-ventilation automatically
at the departure time, the departure time must
be activated first.
If the exhaust pipe is blocked or ventilation
is insufficient, harmful exhaust gases can pol-
lute the area in and around the vehicle or
penetrate the vehicle. The exhaust gases
contain pollutants which are colorless and
odorless. In enclosed areas or areas with in-
sufficient ventilation, exhaust gases can also
accumulate outside of the vehicle. There is a
danger to life. Keep the exhaust pipe free and
ensure sufficient ventilation. Do not switch on
pre-conditioning in enclosed areas or areas
with insufficient ventilation, e.g. in enclosed
garages.

Warning
When pre-conditioning is in operation, high
temperatures can occur underneath the
body, for instance caused by the exhaust
system. If combustible materials such as
leaves or grass come in contact with hot
parts of the exhaust system, these materials
can ignite. There is a risk of fire, injury, and
property damage. Make sure that no com-
bustible materials can come in contact with
hot vehicle parts during pre-conditioning, e.g.
leaves, grass, natural gas, gasoline, oil or
other combustible objects.

General information
Fragrancing is done at intervals in order to

BMW recommends the use of genuine BMW
fragrance cartridges.
Two fragrance cartridges in the vehicle allow
switching between the fragrances.
The genuine BMW fragrance cartridges are not
suitable for refilling. When a cartridge is empty,
replace it with a new fragrance cartridge.
The fragrance cartridges are located in the
glove compartment.
To ensure a pleasant fragrance inside of the
vehicle when starting the trip, fragrancing can
occur prior to the trip. The system is automati-
cally switched on with the pre-ventilation if fra-
grancing was switched on at the completion of
the last trip.
Safety information
Warning
Refilled genuine BMW fragrance cartridges
can cause the emission of harmful substan-
ces, malfunctions, and damage to the sys-
