Turn off the engine, after the engine temperature is at normal operating temperature, while outside the temperature is lower than 16 degrees celsius, and it will work ok.

here in my country the temperature is always above 25 , so which mean it will not work for my car or it should be activated?

If temperature is never below 16 degrees Celsius, why would you want to heat up the car using residual engine heat, which by the way is what Rest button does?

You'll want to use the independent ventilation option (iDrive ->Climate menu) instead.

Search for it on here or consult your manual for instructions.

I am planning the read the manual for ventilation option in iDrive menu right before the summer.
The temp is too perfect in S. California this time of the year. Too lazy to read it now.
