Key/remote control
1The Key Memory functions are controlled
by the two remote control units with their
integrated keys, refer to page 57.
The color-coded decals that you received
when taking delivery of your vehicle can be
used to identify the individual remote
control units
Each remote control unit is equipped
with an extended-life battery which is
automatically recharged in the ignition lock
each time you drive the vehicle.
If you have any remote control units that
are not being used on a regular basis, you
should therefore remember to recharge
these units by using them to drive the
vehicle for an extended period at least
once a year, refer to page 33.<
2Spare key for storage in a safe place,
such as in your wallet. This key is not
intended for constant use
3Adapter for spare key
The adapter can be used to store the spare
key. It can be stored in the place provided
within the luggage compartment lid-
mounted onboard tool kit to ensure that it
will always be available, refer to page 187.
You can find more detailed information on
using the adapter in the section Using the
spare key adapter.
Removing the key from the remote
control unit
Press the button 1 to release the key.
With the integrated key you can unlock and
lock the following:
>the storage compartment under the front
armrest
>the driver's door
>the luggage compartment lid.
Within this storage compartment you will
also find the switch for locking the luggage
compartment lid separately, refer to

Central locking system
The concept
The central locking system is ready for
operation whenever the driver's door is
closed. This simultaneously engages and
releases the locks on the following:
>Doors
>Luggage compartment lid
>Fuel filler door.
The central locking system can be oper-
ated from the outside
>via the remote control
>via the driver's door lock
and from inside via the button for the
central locking system.
When the system is locked from inside, the
fuel filler door remains unlocked, refer to
page 35.
The anti-theft system is automatically acti-
vated whenever you activate the central
locking system from outside the vehicle.
The alarm system is armed/disarmed at the
same time.
In the event of an accident, the central
locking system unlocks automatically – only
those doors which were not locked sepa-
rately with the safety lock buttons, refer to
page 36. In addition, the hazard warning
flashers and interior lamps come on.
Opening and closing – from
outside
Using the remote control
When you engage/release the vehicle's
locks, you simultaneously activate/deacti-
vate the anti-theft system, arm/disarm the
alarm system and switch the interior lamps
on/off.
In addition, the remote control offers you
another function:
>Panic mode
In case of danger, you can trigger an alarm.
You can have various confirmation
signals programmed into the system
to verify that the vehicle has been locked
securely.<

Alarm system
The concept
The vehicle alarm system responds:
>When a door, the hood, or the luggage
compartment lid is opened
>To movement in the vehicle's interior –
interior motion sensor
>To changing the vehicle's tilt if someone
attempts to steal the wheels or tow the
vehicle
>To interruption of battery voltage.
The system responds to unauthorized
vehicle entry and attempted theft by simul-
taneously activating:
>An acoustic alarm, which lasts for a
period of approx. 30 seconds
>The hazard warning flashers for approx.
five minutes
>The high beams, which flash on and off
in the same rhythm.
Arming and disarming the alarm
system
When you lock or unlock the vehicle, either
with the remote control unit or at the door
lock, the alarm system is armed or
disarmed at the same time.
The system indicates that it has been
correctly armed by switching on the hazard
warning flashers for a single cycle and by
emitting an acoustic signal.
You can have different acknowledg-
ment signals set to confirm arming
and disarming.<
Even with the alarm system armed, you can
open the luggage compartment lid using
button 3on the remote control unit,
refer to page 34. The alarm system will
start to monitor the luggage compartment
lid again as soon as it is reclosed.
Indicator lamp displays
>The indicator lamp below the interior
rearview mirror flashes continuously: the
system is armed
>The indicator lamp flashes when the
system is armed: door(s), the hood or
luggage compartment lid are not
completely closed. Even if you do not close
the alerted area, the system begins to
monitor the remaining areas, and the indi-
cator lamp flashes continuously after
10 seconds. However, the interior motion
sensor is not activated
>The indicator lamp goes out when the
system is disarmed: no manipulation or
attempted intrusions have been detected in
the period since the system was armed
>The indicator lamp flashes for approx.
5 minutes when you disarm the system, or
until the remote control unit is inserted in
the ignition lock: an attempted entry has
been detected in the period since the
system was armed.
Following triggering of an alarm, the indi-
cator lamp will flash continuously.
Avoiding unintentional alarms
The tilt alarm sensor and interior motion
sensor may be switched off at the same
time. You can do this to prevent a false
alarm from being triggered in garages with
elevator ramps, for instance, or when the
vehicle is transported by trailer or train:
Lock the vehicle, i.e., arm the alarm system
twice in a row by pressing
button 2on the remote control
unit twice in succession, refer to page 34,
or lock the vehicle twice using the key, refer
to page 35.

The indicator lamp flashes briefly and then
flashes continuously. The tilt alarm sensor
and the interior motion sensor are switched
off as long as the system is armed.
If you desire, the
>tilt alarm sensor
>interior motion sensor
can be switched off permanently. Please
contact your BMW center for assistance.<
Interior motion sensor
In order for the interior motion sensor to
function properly, the windows and sliding/
tilt sunroof must be completely closed.
Be sure to deactivate the interior motion
sensor, see section on Avoiding uninten-
tional alarms, when you wish to leave the
windows or sliding/tilt sunroof open.
Electric power windows
Opening and closing windows
From radio mode on:
>Press the switch until you feel resis-
tance:
The window continues to move downward
as long as you continue to hold the switch
>Press the switch beyond the pressure
point:
The window moves downward automati-
cally. Press the switch again to stop the
opening movement.
You can close the windows in the same
manner by pulling the switch.
The electric power windows remain avail-
able for use after the ignition is switched
off:
>for approx. 15 minutes with the remote
control unit in the radio mode
>for approx. 1 minute in position 0 or with
the remote control unit disengaged.
To open, press the switch beyond the pres-
sure point.
When leaving the vehicle parked,
always remove the remote control
from the ignition lock and close the doors;
this precaution prevents children from
operating the power windows and injuring
themselves, etc.<
For information on using the convenience
operation mode at the door lock or with the
remote control unit, refer to page 35 or 34.
Safety feature
If the force rises beyond a predefined
threshold during closing, the system will
immediately stop moving the window prior
to lowering it slightly.
Despite this safety feature you should
always inspect the window's travel
path prior to closing it, as the safety system
might fail to detect certain kinds of obstruc-
tions, such as very thin objects, and the
window would continue closing.
Pulling the switch beyond the pressure
point and holding it limits the response of
the safety feature. Under these conditions
the window will respond to forces beyond a
defined threshold by only opening several
millimeters.
If you again pull the switch past the pres-
sure point and hold it in position within a
period of roughly 4 seconds, the safety
feature will be deactivated.<
If you desire, you can have your BMW
center reprogram the safety feature
for deactivation the first time you pull and
hold the switch. Please contact your BMW
center for assistance.<
When you close the windows they will
slow down as they approach the end
of their travel; this is to allow the safety
