Microfilter/activated-charcoal filter
The microfilter traps dust and pollen in the
incoming air. The activated-charcoal filter pro-
vides additional protection by filtering gaseous
pollutants from the outside air. Your BMW cen-
ter replaces this combined filter during routine
maintenance.

Parked car ventilation

The concept
The parked car ventilation provides ventilation
to the passenger compartment and lowers its
temperature, if necessary.
For any outside temperature, the system can be
switched on or off directly or via a preset
switch-on time. It will remain on for 30 minutes.
Due to its high power consumption, the parked
car ventilation system should not be switched
on twice in a row without driving in between to
allow the battery to recharge.
Open the vents so that air can flow out.
They can be operated via iDrive.
Switching on/off directly

2. "Climate"
