BMW 730i Owner's Handbook Manual page 112

Never run the independent air condition-
ing in enclosed spaces, as inhaling the
harmful exhaust gas from the engine can lead to
loss of consciousness with fatal consequences.
The exhaust gas contains carbon monoxide,
which is colourless and odourless, but highly
toxic.<
When the engine is started, the radio and
lights will come on if they were previously
left switched on. This may result in uninten-
tional noise or glare. If the light switch is in the
automatic headlight control position, no lights
come on.
The warning flashers operate twice to indicate
that the independent air conditioning has been
switched on or off, and the interior light comes
on for approx. three seconds.<
The engine is automatically switched off
after reaching the maximum operating
period of approx. 1 hour, and also if there is not
enough fuel in the tank for at least approx.
100 km, approx. 60 miles.<
Setting off with the independent air
conditioning running
You can set off on a journey straight away while
the independent air conditioning is running.
1. Unlock the car.
2. Insert the remote control into the ignition
lock. It is not necessary to do this with con-
venient access.
3. Engage a drive position and drive off.
Switching off independent air
conditioning

Remote control for
independent functions*
There are two versions, depending on the
equipment fitted to your car.
You can switch the following functions on and
off with the remote control:
> The independent ventilation control, if the
outside temperature is above approx.
156/597.
> The auxiliary heater, if the outside tempera-
ture is below approx. 156/59 7.
> The independent air conditioning.
The average reception range is approx. 150 m,
approx. 500 ft.
You can optimise the reception range by
holding the remote control as high in the
air as possible with the aerial pointing upwards.
When switching on and off, do not touch the
aerial or point it at the car.<
