The function of the camera may be affected by heavy rain and fog, dirt, snow or ice on the lens. When this occurs, the displayed image on the Control Display may become gray. To minimize icing, the camera lens is automati- cally heated. However, it may be necessary to clean the camera lens manually under severe weather conditions. When doing so, cautiously
remove any debris, ice or snow. To avoid dam- age to the lens, do not use sharp or abrasive instruments to clean ice, snow, or dirt off the lens. When the windshield is cleaned with the head- lamps on, the camera lens area is automatically sprayed as well. Refer to page 64.
Lane Departure Warning*
The concept This system warns you from a speed of approx. 40 mph/70 km/h when the vehicle is leaving the lane you are currently in on roads with lane limit lines. You feel this due to a slight vibration of the steering wheel. The system does not warn you if you signal before leaving the lane. It is best to use the system on well-developed roads and freeways.
Switching on/off
Press the button on the steering wheel. > The two lines 1 indicate that the system is
activated.
> The two arrows 2 mean that the system has detected one or two lane demarcation lines from a speed of approx. 40 mph/70 km/h and warns accordingly.
If you activate the system below a speed of approx. 40 mph/70 km/h, a message will appear stating that the system is not active until this speed is reached. A warning will be canceled: > after approx. 3 seconds
> if you return to your lane > if you brake heavily > if you signal
System limits
The Lane Departure Warning cannot serve as a substitute for your personal
judgment in determining the course of the road. If the system issues a warning, do not move the steering wheel with unnecessary severity, as otherwise you could lose control of the vehi- cle.< The function of the system may be limited in the following example situations: > in heavy fog, rain or snowfall > with worn-away, poorly visible demarcation
lines, or lines that run together or apart or are unclear, e.g., in road construction areas
> when demarcation lines are covered by
snow, ice, dirt or a great deal of water
> in tight curves or on narrow roads > when demarcation lines are not white > when demarcation lines are covered by
objects
> when driving up close behind a vehicle driv-
ing ahead
> with bright oncoming light > when the windshield is fogged up, dirty or covered with stickers, vignettes, etc., in the area of the inside rearview mirror

Lamps
Parking lamps/low beams
0 Lights off and daytime running lamps* 1 Parking lamps and daytime running lamps* 2 Low beams and welcome lamps 3 Automatic headlamp control*, daytime run-
ning lamps*, welcome lamps, Adaptive Light Control* and High-beam Assistant* If you open the driver's door with the ignition switched off, the exterior lighting is switched off when the light switch is in position 2 or 3. The daytime running lamps have already been switched off at the same time as the ignition. For this reason, switch on the parking lamps as needed, switch position 1; otherwise, the vehi- cle is not lit.
Parking lamps In switch position 1, the front, rear and side vehicle lighting is switched on. You can use the parking lamps for parking.
The parking lamps drain the battery. Do not leave them switched on for long peri- ods of time, otherwise it may no longer be pos- sible to start the engine. It is preferable to switch on the roadside parking lamps on one side, refer to page 102.<
Low beams The low beams light up when the light switch is in position 2 and the ignition is on.
100
Automatic headlamp control* In switch position 3, the system activates the low beams and switches them on or off in response to changes in ambient light condi- tions, for instance, in a tunnel, at dawn and dusk and in case of precipitation. Adaptive Light Control* is active. The LED next to the symbol lights up when the low beams are on. You can activate the daytime running lamps, refer to page 101. In the above-mentioned situations, the system then switches to the low beams. A blue sky with the sun low on the horizon can cause the lights to be switched on.
The low beams remain switched on inde- pendent of the ambient lighting condi- tions when you switch on the fog lamps*.<
The automatic headlamp control cannot serve as a substitute for your personal
judgment in determining when the lamps should be switched on in response to ambient lighting conditions. For example, the sensors cannot detect fog of hazy weather. To avoid safety risks, you should always switch on the low beams manually under these conditions.<
Welcome lamps If you leave the light switch in position 2 or 3 when parking the vehicle, then when you unlock the vehicle, the parking lamps and interior light- ing remain illuminated for a brief time.

The setting is stored for the remote control cur- rently in use.
Pathway lighting If you activate the headlamp flasher after switching off the ignition with the lamps switched off, the low beams come on and remain on for a certain time. You can set the duration or deactivate the function via iDrive. iDrive, for operating principle refer to page 16. 1. "Settings" 2. "Lighting" 3. "Pathway lighting:" 4. Set or deactivate the duration.
The setting is stored for the remote control cur- rently in use.
Daytime running lamps* The daytime running lamps light up in positions 0, 1 and 3. If the light switch remains in position 1, the parking lamps light up after the ignition is switched off.
The daytime running lamps are
switched on.
The setting is stored for the remote control cur- rently in use.
Adaptive Light Control*
The concept Adaptive Light Control is a variable headlamp control system that enables better illumination of the road surface. Depending on the steering angle and other parameters, the light from the headlamp follows the course of the road. In tight curves at speeds up to approx. 45 mph/ 70 km/h, e.g. on mountainous roads or when negotiating curves, turning lamps are switched on that light up the inside area of the curve.
Activating Adaptive Light Control With the ignition switched on, turn the light switch into position 3, refer to page 100. The turning lamps are automatically switched on depending on the steering angle or the use of turn signals. To avoid blinding oncoming traffic, the Adaptive Light Control directs light towards the front passenger side when the vehicle is at a stand- still. When driving in reverse, only the turning
101
s
lamps are active and illuminate the outer area of curves.
High beams/ roadside parking lamps
stantly switching back and forth and simulta- neously provides you with the best possible vis- ibility. Naturally, you can intervene at any time to switch the high beams on and off as usual.
Activating system 1. Turn the light switch to position 3, refer to
page 100.
2. With the low beams switched on, briefly
press the turn signal lever in the high-beam direction.
1 High beams 2 Headlamp flasher 3 Roadside parking lamps*
Roadside parking lamps, left or right* You also enjoy the option of lighting up just one side of your vehicle when parking.
Switching on After parking the vehicle, press the lever up or down beyond the resistance point, arrow 3.
The roadside parking lamps drain the bat- tery. Do not leave them switched on for
long periods of time, otherwise it may no longer be possible to start the engine.<
Switching off Briefly press the lever in the opposite direction up to the resistance point, arrow 3.
High-beam Assistant*
The concept This system automatically switches the high beams on and off. A sensor on the front side of the inside rearview mirror controls the process. The assistant makes sure that the high beams are switched on whenever traffic conditions permit. This relieves you of the burden of con-
102
The indicator lamp in the instrument cluster lights up when the High-beam Assistant is activated. The system
automatically switches between high beams and low beams, reacting to oncoming traffic, vehicles ahead of you, and sufficiently lit areas, e.g., in built-up zones.
Manually switching between high beams and low beams If you wish or the situation requires, you can intervene at any time. > If the High-beam Assistant has switched on the high beams, but you wish to use the low beams, just switch on the low beams with the turn signal lever. This deactivates the High-beam Assistant. In order to reactivate the system, briefly press the turn signal lever in the high-beam direction.
> If the High-beam Assistant has switched on the low beams, but you wish to use the high beams, simply switch on the high beams as usual. This deactivates the system and it is up to you to switch back to low beams. In order to reactivate the system, briefly
press the turn signal lever in the high-beam direction.
> When the low beams are on, use the head-
lamp flasher as usual.
System limits
The High-beam Assistant is designed to maximize the amount of time that high
beams can be safely used and to quickly switch back to low beams when traffic approaches. The system cannot completely replace driver intervention when unusual conditions are encountered. For this reason, switch to low beams when circumstances so dictate. Failure to do so can pose a safety risk.< Below are a few examples of situations in which the system may not react or may only function to a limited degree, requiring personal interven- tion: > in extremely unfavorable weather condi- tions such as fog or heavy precipitation
> in sensing road users with poor inherent illumination such as pedestrians, cyclists, equestrians, horse-drawn vehicles, railroad or shipping traffic close to the road, and at deer crossings
> in tight curves, on steep crests or dips, with
cross-traffic, or with partially hidden oncoming traffic on divided highways
> in poorly illuminated areas and in the pres-
ence of highly reflective signs
> in the low speed range > when the windshield is fogged up, dirty or covered with stickers, decals, etc., in the area of the inside rearview mirror
> when the sensor is dirty. Clean the sensor on the front side of the inside rearview mir- ror with a cloth slightly moistened with glass cleaner
Moreover, no system can operate without limi- tations. High-beam Assistant operation is sub- ject to conditions that may reduce the system's ability to recognize the difference between actual vehicle head lamps or tail lamps and, for example, highly reflective signs, markers, and streetlights. To be on the safe side, the system
may periodically interpret these situations as conditions that require low beams. Below are some of the situations in which premature switching to low beams can occur: > approaching large and/or highly reflective
signs
> approaching certain lights, such as drive-
way lighting and porch lights
> approaching certain traffic signals > approaching large reflective markers In these situations, the system may interpret the above conditions as a vehicle ahead requir- ing a switch to low beams. When the conditions return to normal, the system will reactivate the high beams. The High-beam Assistant cannot replace the driver's responsibility for complying with state laws on high-beam switching or for adapting to visibility and traffic conditions.
Switching off via iDrive iDrive, for operating principle refer to page 16. 1. "Settings" 2. "Lighting" 3. "High beam assistant"
High beam assistant is activated and is
stored for the remote control currently in use.

Fog lamps*
utes after radio readiness is switched off, refer to Start/Stop button on page 57.<
Switching interior lamps on and off manually
The parking lamps or low beams must be switched on for the fog lamps to operate. The green indicator lamp in the instrument cluster lights up whenever the fog lamps are on. The fog lamps are switched off whenever the high beams are switched on.
If the automatic headlamp control is acti- vated, the low beams will come on when
you switch on the fog lamps.<

Comfortable interior climate The AUTO program offers the optimum air dis- tribution and air volume for virtually all condi- tions, refer to AUTO program below. Now you only need to select an interior temperature comfortable for you. The following sections contain more detailed information on the available setting options. Most settings are stored for the remote control currently in use, also refer to Personal Profile settings on page 27.
AUTO program
The AUTO program handles the adjustment of air volume and air distribution to the windshield and side windows, in the direction of the upper body and in the footwell. It also adapts your instructions for the tempera- ture to outside influences throughout the year. The cooling function is switched on along with the AUTO program. At the same time, a con- densation sensor controls the program in such a way that window condensation is prevented as much as possible.
Intensity of the AUTO program You can adjust the intensity of the AUTO pro- gram by repeatedly pressing the AUTO button. The respective current setting is briefly dis- played on the Control Display when the button is pressed.
106
Select the intensity of the AUTO program:
− Low − Medium − High
Temperature
Set the desired temperature indi- vidually on the driver's and front passenger side. The automatic climate control
adjusts this temperature as quickly as possible at any time of year, if necessary with the maxi- mum cooling or heating capacity, and then keeps it constant.
When changing between different tem- perature settings in rapid succession, the
automatic climate control does not have suffi- cient time to adjust the set temperature.< In the highest setting you activate the maximum heating output, regardless of the outside tem- perature.
Defrosting windows and removing condensation
Quickly remove ice and condensa- tion from the windshield and front side windows.
To do this, also switch on the cooling function.
Rear window defroster
The rear window defroster switches off after a while. Depend- ing on the vehicle equipment,
upper wires are used as an antenna and are not part of the rear window defroster.
Air volume, manual
You can adjust the air volume by turning. You can reactivate the automatic mode for the air volume with the AUTO button.
The air volume is reduced to save battery power. The display stays the same.
Air distribution, manual You can route the air flowing out into the vehicle interior via various programs, separately for the driver's and passenger's side: > Upper body region > Upper body region and footwell > Footwell > Driver's side: windows and footwell
Selecting program
Press the button repeatedly until the desired air distribution of the respective program is shown on the Control Display.
Switching cooling function on and off The cooling function cools and dehumidifies the incoming air before also reheating it as
required, according to the temperature setting. This function is only available when the engine is running. The cooling function helps to avoid condensa- tion on the window surfaces or to quickly remove them. Depending on the weather, the windshield may fog over briefly when the engine is started. The cooling function is also switched on with the AUTO program.
Maximum cooling
Maximally cooled air is obtained as quickly as possible at an outside temperature above approx. 327/
06 and with the engine running. At the lowest temperature, the automatic cli- mate control switches into recirculated-air
mode. The maximum air volume flows out of the vents for the upper body. Therefore, open these vents for maximum cooling.
AUC Automatic recirculated-air control/recirculated-air mode
You can respond to pollutants or unpleasant odors in the immediate environment by suspending the
supply of outside air. The system then recircu- lates the air currently within the vehicle. During AUC operation, a sensor detects pollutants in the outside air and controls the shut-off auto- matically. By pressing the button repeatedly, you can request three operating modes: > LED off: outside air flows in continuously. > Right LED on, AUC mode: the system
detects pollutants in the outside air and shuts off the supply as needed.
> Left LED on, recirculated-air mode: the
supply of outside air is permanently shut off. Should the windows fog up in the recircu- lated-air mode, press the AUTO button or
switch off the recirculated-air mode and increase the air volume if necessary. The recirculated-air mode should not be used over an extended period of time, as the air qual- ity inside the vehicle deteriorates continu- ously.<
Residual heat
The heat stored in the engine is used to heat the passenger com- partment, e.g., while stopped at a school to pick up a child.
1. Switch off the engine. 2. Turn to the right, refer to arrow. The function can be switched on when the fol- lowing conditions are met: > up to 15 minutes after switching off the
engine

Parked car ventilation
4. "Timer 1:" or "Timer 2:"
The concept The parked car ventilation blows air into the passenger compartment to lower interior tem- peratures. It is ready to use in the parked car mode at any outside temperature. You can set two different times for the system to start. The parked car ventilation can also be switched on and off directly. It remains switched on for 30 minutes. Since the system uses a substantial amount of electrical current, you should refrain from acti- vating it twice in succession without allowing the battery to be recharged in normal operation between use. The air emerges through the upper body region vent outlets in the instrument panel. These vent outlets must be open for the system to operate. The parked car ventilation is operated via iDrive.
Switching on and off directly iDrive, for operating principle refer to page 16. 1. "Settings" 2. "Climate" 3. "Activate parked-car vent."

Practical interior accessories
Integrated universal remote control*
Programming
The concept The integrated universal remote control can replace as many as three hand-held transmit- ters for various remote-controlled accessories, such as garage and gate or lighting systems. The integrated universal remote control regis- ters and stores signals from the original hand- held transmitters. The signal of an original hand-held transmitter can be programmed on one of the three mem- ory buttons 1. After this, the programmed memory button 1 will operate the system in question. The LED 2 flashes to confirm trans- mission of the signal. Should you sell your vehicle one day, be sure to delete the stored programs beforehand for your safety, refer to page 111.
To prevent possible damage or injury, before programming or using the inte-
grated universal remote control, always inspect the immediate area to make certain that no peo- ple, animals or objects are within the travel range of the device. Also, comply with the safety precautions of the original hand-held transmitter.<
Checking compatibility
If you see this symbol on the packaging or in the manual supplied with the orig- inal hand-held transmitter, it is safe to assume that it is compatible with the integrated universal remote control.
If you have additional questions, please contact your BMW center or call:
1-800-355-3515. Information is also provided on the Internet at: www.bmwusa.com or www.homelink.com. HomeLink is a registered trademark of Johnson Controls, Inc.<

Press the left and right-hand memory button 1 for approx. 20 seconds until the LED 2 flashes quickly. All stored programs are deleted.
3. Hold the original hand-held transmitter at a
distance of approx. 4 in/10 cm to 12 in/30 cm from the memory buttons 1. The required distance between the hand-held transmitter and the mem- ory buttons 1 depends on the relevant sys- tem of the original hand-held transmitter used.<
4. Simultaneously press the transmit button on the original hand-held transmitter and the desired memory button 1 on the inte- grated universal remote control. The LED 2 flashes slowly at first. As soon as the LED 2 flashes rapidly, release both buttons. If the LED 2 does not flash rapidly after approx. 15 seconds, alter the distance and repeat the step.
5. To program other original hand-held trans-
mitters, repeat steps 3 and 4.
The corresponding memory button 1 is now programmed with the signal of the original hand-held transmitter.
You can operate the device when the engine is running or when the ignition is switched on.
If the device fails to function even after repeated programming, check whether
the original hand-held transmitter uses an alter- nating-code system. To do so, either read the instructions for the original hand-held transmit- ter or hold down the programmed memory button 1 of the integrated universal remote control. If the LED 2 on the integrated universal remote control flashes rapidly for a short time and then remains lit for approx. 2 seconds, this indicates that the original hand-held transmitter uses an alternating-code system. In the case of an alternating-code system, program the mem- ory buttons 1 as described at Alternating-code hand-held transmitters.<
Alternating-code hand-held transmitters To program the integrated universal remote control, consult the operating instructions for the equipment to be set. You will find informa- tion there on the possibilities for synchroniza- tion. When programming hand-held transmitters that employ an alternating code, please observe the following supplementary instructions:
Programming will be easier with the aid of a second person.<
1. Park your vehicle within the range of the
remote-controlled device.
2. Program the integrated universal remote control as described above in the section Fixed-code hand-held transmitters.
3. Locate the button on the receiver of the
device to be set, e.g. on the drive unit. 4. Press the button on the receiver of the device to be set. After step 4, you have approx. 30 seconds for step 5.
5. Press the programmed memory button 1 of the integrated universal remote control three times.
