Switchover Valve
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 33 other vehicles, including the 2010 BMW M5, 2009 BMW M5, 2008 BMW M5, 2008 BMW 760Li, and 2007 BMW M5. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The switchover valve is only installed if the vehicle is equipped with independent heating (option 536).
The switchover valve regulates the inlet to the independent heating as follows:
- From the radiator and the auxiliary water pump
or
- From the return flow from the heating system heat exchanger
The switchover valve is actuated by the independent heating control unit.
