Press the A/C button to turn on the heater in a BMW 5 Series. Here are extended instructions: 1. Step on the brake pedal of the BMW 5 Series to prepare for starting the engine. 2. Press the one-touch start button of the BMW 5 Series to start the engine. 3. Press the large fan buttons on both the driver and passenger sides to increase the airflow, which also activates the air conditioning system. 4. Rotate the temperature knobs on the driver and passenger sides to the red zone to turn on the heater. 5. To conserve the heat energy generated by the car, press the internal circulation button to activate the internal circulation mode. 6. Setting the car's circulation mode to internal circulation will quickly raise the temperature inside the car.
When driving my BMW 5 Series in winter, I frequently operate the heating system. The steps are simple: After starting the vehicle, locate the air conditioning control area on the center console. The large round knob turns left for cooling and right for heating—rotating it to the right increases the temperature setting, for example, to 24 degrees or above. The system has an automatic mode; pressing the AUTO button will automatically adjust the fan speed and airflow direction based on the interior environment, and warm air will be delivered. If not using automatic mode, manually pressing the fan button to increase the airflow will speed up the process. As a long-time owner, I also recommend adjusting the air circulation—using the fresh air mode in winter prevents window fogging caused by interior humidity, ensuring both driving safety and comfort. Regularly replacing the cabin air filter maintains heating efficiency and air quality, keeping you warm and at ease throughout your drive.
