Steps to use the heating system in a BMW 5 Series: 1. First, press the brake pedal of the BMW 5 Series to prepare for starting the engine. 2. Next, press the one-touch start button of the BMW 5 Series to start the engine. 3. Then, let the engine idle until the water temperature rises to the normal operating temperature of 90 degrees. 4. Press the large fan buttons on both the driver and passenger sides to increase the air output, which also activates the air conditioning system. 5.

I usually drive a BMW 5 Series, and I find it quite simple to use the heater. After starting the car, don't rush to drive off. Let the engine run for a few minutes to warm up, which makes the heater output warmer air. Then, turn the temperature knob to the red zone or above 22, press the AUTO button, and the system will automatically blow warm air. If the airflow is too strong, you can manually reduce it. Remember to check the direction of the air vents—avoid blowing directly at your face to prevent dryness and discomfort. In winter, pay attention to the air circulation mode; switch to recirculation mode only after the cabin temperature has risen to avoid cold air entering. Regular maintenance of the cabin air filter is also crucial, as a dirty filter can cause unpleasant odors or reduce heating efficiency. For long trips, it's advisable to start the car in advance to warm it up, which saves fuel and ensures comfort. The BMW's climate control system is quite intelligent and doesn't require extra buttons.
