BMW 3: Operating principle
If the driver adjusts a desired temperature at the IHKA controls, the IHKA
calculates a corresponding
nominal temperature and compares it to the actual output temperature of the
electrical heating.
There is a coolant temperature sensor at the electrical heating output for this
purpose. This way the
IHKA control unit can decide whether the heat from the combustion engine is
sufficient to heat the
passenger compartment or whether the electrical heating should be switched on.
If the temperature
of the coolant is too low, the electric heating can heat up to a total of 6
stages. The electrical heating is
always condition-based thanks to this control operation.

When the coolant temperature is low, for example after driving off, or in
all-electric driving, the electric
changeover valve is activated by the Body Domain Controller (BDC). The

Concept
The voice activation system can be used to operate
functions with spoken commands. The
system supports you with announcements during
input.
The voice control system and the feedback it
provides are not a substitute for the printed or
Integrated Owner's Manual.
General information
Function
In order to reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, high-charged engines
are used, the number
of cylinders is reduced and the drivable speeds are lowered.
However, with these measures the torsional vibrations of the crankshaft are
increased as a result of
the acceleration during the work cycle
