Automatic climate control

Comfortable interior climate

The AUTO program 7 offers the ideal air distri-

bution and air flow rate for almost all conditions.

All you need to do is select an interior tempera-

ture which is comfortable for you.

The following sections inform you in detail

about how to adjust the settings.

Most settings are stored for the remote control

currently in use, refer also to Personal Profile

settings on page 28.

Adjusting air distribution manually

The air distribution can be

switched on and off manually. The

air is directed to the windshield, to

the upper body area and to the

footwell. Automatic air distribution adjustment

is deactivated.

You can switch the automatic air distribution

back on by pressing the AUTO button. This

automatically switches on the cooling function

as well.

Fine adjustments to manual air

distribution

You can set the rate of incoming airflow for

manual air distribution.

iDrive, for operating principle refer to page 16.

Temperature

Set the desired temperatures indi-

vidually for the driver's and front

passenger's sides.

The automatic climate control

achieves this temperature as quickly as possi-

ble regardless of the season, using maximum

cooling or heating power if necessary, and then

maintains it.

When you switch between different tem-

perature settings in quick succession, the

automatic climate control does not have

enough time to achieve the set temperature.<

You can achieve maximum heating power with

the highest setting, regardless of the outside

temperature.

The lowest setting effects continuous cooling.

Maximum cooling

At outside temperatures above

32 7/0 6 and when the engine is

running, you obtain a maximum

cooling effect as soon as possible.

The automatic climate control goes into recir-

culated-air mode at the lowest temperature. Air

flows at maximum rate from the vents for the

upper body area. You should therefore open

them for maximum cooling.
