Parked-car ventilation*
The concept
The parked-car ventilation ventilates the vehicle
interior and lowers its temperature, if necessary.
The system can be switched on and off at any
external temperature, either directly or by using
two preset switch-on times. It remains switched
on for 30 minutes.
Open the vents to allow air to flow out.
They can be operated via iDrive.

flashes if the system is switched on.
Preselecting the switch-on time

4. Set the desired time.
Activating the switch-on time
