Independent ventilation

Principle
The independent ventilation system ventilates
the passenger compartment and lowers its tem‐
perature under some circumstances.
The system can be switched on and off at any
ambient temperature either directly or via two
preselected switch-on times. It remains
switched on for 30 minutes.
Open the ventilation vents so the air can flow
out.
Operation is done using the iDrive.
Switching on/off directly
1. "Settings"
2. "Climate"
3. "Activate ind. ventilation"
Symbol on the automatic air conditioning
system flashes when the system is switched on.
