Activating with BMW App
Depending on the equipment, an appropriate
BMW app with remote function can be used
to turn on the pre-cooling via a preselected
departure time or directly.
Pre-conditioning via Remote
Engine Start
Principle
Pre-conditioning cools or warms the interior to
a comfortable temperature before the start of
a journey. The system does this by automati-
cally cooling, ventilating or heating depending
on the internal, external and set desired tem-
perature. Any snow and ice can be removed
more easily.
The system starts the engine automatically for
this purpose and lets it run for a limited time.
Safety information
DANGER
A blocked exhaust pipe or inadequate ven-
tilation can allow harmful exhaust fumes to
pollute the area around the vehicle or enter it.
The exhaust fumes contain pollutants which
are colourless and odourless. In enclosed
spaces or spaces with inadequate ventilation,
the exhaust fumes can also build up outside
the vehicle. There is a danger to life. Keep the
exhaust pipe clear and ensure sufficient ven-
tilation. Do not switch on the pre-conditioning
in enclosed or poorly ventilated spaces, for
example closed garages.
WARNING
When the pre-conditioning is operating, high
temperatures can be generated under the
body, for example because of the exhaust
system. If flammable materials come into
