In this video below, BMW How-To shows you how to use the Auto Hold function of your parking brake. The parking brake is used to prevent your BMW from rolling when it is parked. Additionally, Automatic Hold is available on BMWs with a Steptronic transmission. The system provides assistance by automatically applying and releasing the brake, for example in stop-and-go traffic or preventing the vehicle from rolling back on sloping ground. In order to activate Automatic Hold, the car needs to be in drive-ready state. Press the button on the middle console, the LED is illuminated. In the instrument cluster, the indicator lamp illuminates green (AUTO H). Once the brake has been applied, the vehicle is secured from rolling as soon as the indicator light is illuminated green. To drive off, press the accelerator pedal. The brake is released automatically and the indicator lamp for the parking brake is no longer illuminated. When the vehicle is being held by Automatic Hold and drive-ready state is switched off or the vehicle is exited, the parking brake is automatically applied. The indicator lamp for the parking brake switches from green to red.

GET STARTED. BMW INTERNET HOTSPOT.

2. Your hotspot name and a case-sensitive key, or password, will be displayed. The default hotspot name is “My BMW Hotspot ####”. The vehicle’s Internet hotspot network is now discoverable for 120 seconds.

In this video BMW How-To shows you that, depending on model and country, with the optional equipment ‘Automatic air conditioning’, auxiliary ventilation is included. The independent ventilation allows the temperature of the interior to be adjusted before the journey starts, using power from the vehicle’s battery. Depending on the set temperature and ambient temperature, the interior is ventilated or heated using any available residual heat from the engine. The system can be switched on and off directly or for a preselected departure time. In order to set and activate a departure time, go to “CAR”, “Settings”, “Climate comfort”, “Auxiliary ventilation”, “Departure schedule” and select the required departure time. Set the departure time and select the day of the week if necessary. After activating the required departure time, the fan and time symbol on the climate display signals that a departure time has been activated. At least 10 minutes should pass between adjusting/activating the departure time and the scheduled departure time, so the climate control has enough time to work. In the My BMW App the system can be switched on and off directly as well, by clicking on the fan symbol and pressing “Start”. The system switches off automatically after a while.
