F30 Sport Climate Control and Steering wheel function
Discussion
Hello just purchased a new BMW 3 SERIES (F30 Sport) and just a tad confused about the climate control. I have the dual control climate control with the AUTO function and an AC button at the end.
I do keep the Auto button on all the time and as a result the AC button also lights up.
However, is my understanding correct in that the AC button should light on and off once the correct temperature has been achieved or does the AC button stay lit all of the time ?. I hope I have explained this properly.
The second issue I have is that can you fast forward/rewind a CD using controls on the steering wheel or is this only done by the buttons near to the CD player ?.
Thanks in advance.

In respect of the fast forward /rewind I was just wondering if what you have described is something you can do from the steering wheel too, as I can't seem to find it on there. Hope that makes sense.
You can jump forward or back to the next/last track using the right thumbwheel on the steering wheel. You can't move by partial tracks in this way though.
That there is your stratification control.
BMW are the only car manufacturer where you actually need to rtfm to figure out what the chuff it's for.
I thinks it's there to allow you to independently control the top air vents. Leave it centred and it's the same as the other vents. Turn it to blue/red and you get cold/hot.
Means you can have toasty feet but cold air in your face.

Many thanks. It does seem a bit odd. I think I will give your suggestion a try tomorrow morning as I am sure you are correct in terms of the centre vents.
The thing is I have actually gone through the manual but even that is quite ambiguous in terms of its purpose!!!!. dave_s13 said:

Correct. It adds cooler or warmer air to the current temp you set to allow a warm or cool you with warmer or cooler hands and face. I like it.BMW are the only car manufacturer where you actually need to rtfm to figure out what the chuff it's for.
