Automatic air conditioning
*
Heated rear window
When the heated rear
window is switched on, the
indicator light comes on. The heated

Residual heat utilisation
Heat from the engine is
stored and used to heat
the car's interior when the ignition is
switched off, for instance when waiting
at a level crossing.
In ignition key position 1, you can alter
the automatic air conditioning settings.
In ignition key position 0, the heated air
is directed automatically to the wind-
screen, side windows and footwells.

Auxiliary heater
BMW 520d, 525d, 530d:
When the engine is cold, there is a fuel-
burning auxiliary heater for warming up
the car's interior more rapidly. Its
exhaust fumes are discharged under
the door sill on the driver's side.
If the engine is stopped before it has
reached its regular operating tempera-
ture, the auxiliary heater continues to
run for a short time, and therefore
produces exhaust fumes.
Draught-free ventilation
The outlets for the occupants' upper
body area can be adjusted to suit your
personal preferences:
1 Knurled wheels for opening and
closing the air outlets continuously
2 Levers for altering the airflow angle
3 The knurled wheel allows you to vary
the temperature of the airflow:
>
Turn towards the blue mark –
cooler
>
Turn towards the red mark –
warmer.
