Outside air/Automatic recirculated
air control AUC/recirculated air
mode
Ventilation
You can respond to unpleasant
external odors or pollutants by
temporarily stopping the flow of
outside air. The system then
recirculates the air currently within the
vehicle.
By repeatedly pressing the button, you can
select one of three different operating
modes.
You can adjust the blower controls for the
upper body area to obtain the optimum air-
flow rates and directions for your personal
requirements:
>
Indicator lamps off: outside air flows
into the vehicle
>
Left-hand indicator lamp on, AUC
mode: the system detects pollutants in
the outside air and responds by deacti-
vating the outside airflow as required.
The system then recirculates the air
currently within the vehicle. Depending
on air quality requirements, the system
automatically switches between out-
side air supply and recirculation of the
air already within the vehicle

Microfilter/activated-charcoal filter
The built-in microfilter removes dust and
pollen from the incoming air. The activated-
charcoal filter provides additional protec-
tion by filtering gaseous pollutants from the
outside air. Your BMW center replaces this
combined filter as a standard part of your
scheduled maintenance. A substantial
reduction in airflow indicates that the filter
needs to be replaced earlier.
>
Right-hand indicator lamp on: the flow
of outside air is permanently blocked.
The system recirculates the air already
within the vehicle.
If the windows fog over in the recircu-
lated air mode, switch this mode off
and increase the air supply as required. Do
not use the recirculated-air mode continu-
ously over a long period of time as this
would reduce the air quality in the interior
of the vehicle.<
Rear window defroster
The indicator lamp lights up when
the rear window defroster is
active. The rear window defroster
switches off automatically.
