Principle
Some heating and cooling functions can be acti‐
vated automatically depending on the outside
temperature.
General
The outside temperature from which the func‐
tions are to be activated automatically can be set
using iDrive.
Activation is performed if the outside tempera‐
ture exceeds or falls below the set temperature
in the first 2 minutes after drive-ready state has
been switched on. A new alignment is carried out
after the settings have been changed.

following functions can be activated automati‐
cally:

If the journey is continued within about 15 mi‐
nutes after a temporary stop, the functions are

tings.
