Parked car ventilation

The parked car ventilation blows air into the
passenger compartment to reduce interior tem-
peratures.
You can set two different times for the system
to start. The system is operated via iDrive.
It remains switched on for 30 minutes.
Since the system uses a substantial amount of
electrical current, you should refrain from acti-
vating it twice in succession without allowing
the battery to be recharged in normal operation
between uses.
With a preselected switch-on time, the parked
car ventilation is switched on at an outside tem-
perature of 59 7/15 6 or greater. When oper-
ated manually, it is ready for use at any outside
temperature, but not during driving.
The air enters the passenger compartment
through the air vents for the upper body in the
dashboard, which can be adjusted for both
direction and airflow. These vents must be
open for the system to operate.
Switching on and off directly
iDrive, for principle details, refer to page 16.
