BMW 3: Temperature

Concept

The automatic climate control achieves the set temperature as quickly as possible, if needed, by using the maximum cooling or heating capacity, and then keeps it constant.

Adjusting

Press the upper or lower button side to set the desired temperature.

Via iDrive:

1. "CAR".

2. "Settings".

3. "Climate control".

4. "Heating/ventilation".

5. "Driver" or "Front passenger".

6. "Temperature:"

7. Set the desired temperature.

8. "OK".

Do not rapidly switch between different temperature settings. Otherwise, the automatic climate control will not have sufficient time to adjust the set temperature.

Temperature of the ventilation

General information

The temperature of the ventilation in the upper body region can be adjusted.

The temperature is individually adjusted, e.g. colder toward blue, warmer toward red.

The air flow of the ventilation in the upper body region heats or cools noticeably, depending on the adjusted temperature.

This does not change the set interior temperature for the driver and front passenger.

Adjusting

Via iDrive:

1. "CAR".

2. "Settings".

3. "Climate control".

4. "Heating/ventilation".

5. "Driver".

6. "Temp. adjustment upper body".

7. Set the desired temperature:

  • Toward blue: colder.
  • Toward red: warmer.

Air conditioning

Concept

The air in the car's interior will be cooled and dehumidified and, depending on the temperature setting, warmed again.

The car's interior can only be cooled with the drive-ready state switched on.

Switching on/off

Press the button.

Via iDrive:

1. "CAR".

2. "Settings".

3. "Climate control".

4. "Heating/ventilation".

5. "A/C".

Air conditioning is switched on with the engine running.

Depending on the weather, the windshield and side windows may fog up briefly when driveready state is switched on.

The cooling function is switched on automatically with the AUTO program.

When using the automatic climate control, condensation water develops and collects underneath the vehicle.

Maximum cooling

Concept

The system is set to the lowest temperature, optimum air flow and recirculated-air mode with the drive-ready state switched on.

General information

The function is available with external temperatures above approx. 32 ℉/0 ℃ and with the drive-ready state switched on.

Switching on/off

Press the button.

The LED is illuminated with the system switched on.

Air flows out of the vents to the upper body region.

The vents need to be open for this.

The air flow can be adjusted with the program active.
