Reference Number(s): SI B 64 07 10, Date of Issue: July 2010

BMW:	E82, E88 (1 Series); E9x (3 Series); Vehicles produced from 8/10/09
GROUP:	64 - Heating and Air Conditioning

SUBJECT

Intensity of the IHKA Auto Mode Program

SITUATION

The intensity of the air flow from the integrated automatic heating and air conditioning control panel (IHKA) is too strong or too weak in "Auto" mode.

CAUSE

The customer is not familiar with the new IHKA control panel. There is no fault with the IHKA system.

A new IHKA control panel was introduced on vehicles from the 2010 model year that included a new setting; this gives control over the air intensity in "Auto" mode. At the same time, the display operation was changed to display either "fan speed" in "Manual" mode, or "intensity" in "Auto" mode.

Customers are not aware that they should use the fan speed buttons when in "Auto" mode to set the air flow to their liking.

CORRECTION

Instruct the customer about the intensity of the Auto program function styles in the control panel of the IHKA system. Point out the section in the Owner's Manual that deals with this feature.
