General notes

Running in the air-conditioning compressor 

After replacement of an air-conditioning compressor or refilling the refrigerant circuit, the air-conditioning compressor must be run in. Running in is required to ensure lubrication (oil distribution). Running in can only be carried out using the BMW diagnosis system.

This running in can only be carried out with the air conditioning compressor at idle speed. Here, the oil volume filled by the manufacturer mixes evenly with the liquid refrigerant. If the engine speed exceeds the specified engine speed range, running in is aborted automatically. The running-in procedure must then be repeated in its entirety.

Encoding the rain, light and precipitation solar sensor 

Encoding of the rain, light and precipitation solar sensor is required after replacement of the windscreen or replacement of a rain, light and precipitation solar sensor.
