i-drive screen symbol question...

tomwac · 10-24-2006, 07:24 AM

When I bought the car, in the lower left corner (status bar if you wish, where also the time, date, etc..; are displayed), the first symbol to the left was 'A' followed by a symbol of a sitting person. Today I noticed that the 'A' has been replaced by something like this:
_
:

I can't find anything about it in the manual. Anybody an idea what happened and what these symbols represent ?

Thanks.

Nevermind...figured it out...it's the symbol for the aircon setting...

I remember seeing that symbol in the brochure and created a thread about it, which no one replied to. My e90 doesnt show anything like that, wonder if is something just on European cars?

I'll post some screenshots tonight of this symbol...

Looks like vent settings... A for Auto mode and the other for upper and mid
Haven't seen that for US Models

I've noticed that icon in some photos of the Euro interior. It's not on mine, either.
