BMW 7 Series: Stationary climate control through Remote Engine Start- Climatization for the requested departure time

General information

Scheduled departure times can be set up in the system to ensure a comfortable interior temperature in the vehicle at the time of departure.

• One-time departure time: the time of the scheduled departure can be set.

  The system is switched on once.

• Departure time with weekday: time and day of the week of the scheduled departure can be set.

The departure time is preselected in two steps:

• Set departure times.
• Activate departure times.

The climate control function will start approximately 10 minutes before the set departure time and continue for approximately 5 more minutes after the departure time.

A minimum of 10 minutes should pass between setting/activating the departure time and the planned departure time to allow a sufficient period of time for the climate control.

For reasons of safety, the system can only be switched on once. The system will be available again as soon as the drive-ready state is activated and deactivated again.

Observe the information about the intended use of the vehicle.
