The automatic mode for the air volume remains effective with manual air distribution.
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 switched on automati- cally 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 recirculating 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

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 122.
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.<
1 Memory buttons 2 LED
Fixed-code hand-held transmitters 1. Switch on ignition, refer to page 61. 2. When starting operation for the first time:
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.
121
s
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.
The corresponding memory button 1 is now programmed with the signal of the original hand-held transmitter.
122
If you have any additional questions, please contact your BMW center.<
Deleting all stored programs Press the left and right-hand memory button 1 for approx. 20 seconds until the LED 2 flashes quickly: All stored programs are deleted. Individual programs cannot be deleted.
Rememorizing individual programs 1. Hold the original handheld remote control approx. 10 to 30 cm away 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.<
2. Press the desired memory button 1 of the
3.
integrated universal remote. If the LED 2 flashes slowly after approx. 20 seconds, press the command button of the original hand-held transmitter.
