automatic climate control does not have
enough time to achieve the set temperature.

AUC Automatic recirculated-air
control/Recirculated-air mode
Switch on the desired operating
mode by pressing this button repeat-
edly:
> LEDs off: outside air flows in continuously.
> Left-hand LED on, AUC mode: a sensor
detects pollutants in the outside air. If nec-
essary, the system blocks the supply of out-
side air and recirculates the inside air. As
soon as the concentration of pollutants in
the outside air has decreased sufficiently,
the system automatically switches back to
outside air supply.
> Right-hand LED on, recirculated-air mode:
the inflow of outside air is shut off perma-
nently. The system recirculates the air
within the vehicle.
If the windows fog over in the recircu-
lated-air mode, you should switch it off
and, if necessary, increase the air flow rate.
The recirculated-air mode should not be used
over an extended period of time, otherwise the
air quality inside the car will deteriorate contin-
uously.

Rear window defroster
The defroster switches off automati-
cally after a certain time.
Ventilation
1 Knurled wheels to set any vent position
from fully open to closed
2 Slide for adjusting air flow direction
Ventilation for cooling
Adjust the vent outlets to direct the flow of cool
air toward you, for instance if it has become too
hot in the car.
Draft-free ventilation
Set the vent outlets so that the air flows past
you and not straight at you.
Microfilter/activated-charcoal filter
The microfilter removes dust and pollen from
the incoming air. The activated-charcoal filter
provides additional protection by filtering gas-
eous pollutants from the outside air. Your BMW
center replaces this combined filter during reg-
ular maintenance. A substantial reduction in air
flow indicates that the filter needs to be
replaced earlier.
