Thorough familiarity with your vehicle will provide you with enhanced control and security when you drive it. [. . . ] When the outside temperature is above 41 7 (+5 6), you can also use the air conditioner (12). This will dry the air as well as preventing condensation on the window surfaces ­ if there are passengers with damp clothing, for example. Set the air outlets (2) so that the air flows past you and is not directed straight at you. Set the rotary dial between the air outlets (2) for the upper body to a medium position, since air that is somewhat cooler promotes driving without fatigue. Detailed setting options are described for you in the following section. Temperature The figures in the display provide a general indication of interior temperature. We recommend 72 7 (+22 6) as a comfortable setting, whether the air conditioner is operating or not. When you start the vehicle, the system ensures that the selected temperature is reached as quickly as possible. Set rotary dial 3 (refer to "Draft-free ventilation" on page 102) to a medium setting, since air that is somewhat cooler promotes driving without fatigue. You can use this setting for mixing air to make minor comfort modifications. At a setting of 60 7 (+16 6), the full cooling output is available when the air conditioner is activated. < Individual air distribution You can cancel the AUTO program by selecting specific distribution patterns to suit your own individual requirements. You can direct air to flow onto the windows , toward the upper body , and into the footwell .

By doing this, you switch off the automatic control of the air supply. When you set the lowest blower speed by pressing the left half of the button, all of the displays are canceled: the blower, heating and air conditioner are switched off, and the air supply is stopped. You can reactivate the system by pressing any button of the automatic climate control. 101n To defrost the windshield and side windows This program quickly removes ice and condensation from the windshield and side windows. Condensation forms in the air conditioner system during operation, which then exits under the vehicle. Traces of condensed water of this kind are thus normal. < If the windows fog over in the recirculated air mode, switch this mode off and increase the air supply as required. < Online Edition for Part No. 01 41 0 155 476 - © 09/00 BMW AG Index Data Technology Repairs The air is cooled and dehumidified and ­ depending on the temperature setting ­ rewarmed when the air conditioner system is switched on. Depending on the weather, the windshield may fog over briefly when the engine is started. If the windows fog over after switching the air conditioner off, switch it back on. If there are unpleasant odors or pollutants in the outside air, you can temporarily block the air flow from the outside. By repeated actuation of the button, you can select one of three different operation modes. > Indicator lamps off: fresh air flows into the vehicle > Left-hand indicator lamp on ­ AUC mode: the system detects pollutants in the outside air and responds by deactivating the outside air flow as required. Depending on air quality requirements, the system automatically switches between outside air supply and recirculation of the air already within the vehicle > Right-hand indicator lamp on: the flow of outside air is permanently blocked.
