lnterior trim repairs
lnterior trim and finish panels are clipped or screwed into
place. Many of the trim retaining clips are designed
to be used
only once. When removing trim that is held in place with clips,
it is a good idea to have spare clips on hand before beginning
the job.
WARNING-
Special precautions must be observed when servicing the
BMWSupplementai Restraint System (SRS). Serious inju-
ry may result if system service is attempted by persons un-
familiar with the BMW
SRS and its approved service
procedures. BMW
speciiies that all inspection and service
should be performed by an authorized BMW
dealer.
Before performing any work involving airbags, discon-
nect the negative
() battery cable. See 721 Airbag
System (SRS).
Airbags contain a back-uppowersupply within the SRS
control module. A
5 second discharge period should be
allowed after the battery cable has been disconnected.
CAUTION-
* When working on electrical switclies or lights, always dis-
connect the negative
(-) cable from the battery and insu-
late the cable end to prevent accidental reconnection.
a Prior to disconnecting the battery, read the battery dis-
connection cautions given in
W1 General Warnings
and Cautions.
To prevent marring the trim when working on interior
components, work with plastic prying
tools or wrap the
tips of screwdrivers and pliers with tape before prying

4 1997 - 1999 models: Two lithium batteries are used to sup-
ply power to key transmitter. When replacement is neces-
sary, remove cover and two fasteners (arrows) from rear of
key to access batteries
NOTE-
If you replace the batteries within one minute, the FZV ley
will not require a new initialization procedure.
2000 and later models: FZV key battery is recharged by ring
antenna while ltey is in ignition switch. There is no need to re-
place ltey battery.
Car Memory 1 Key Memory
A number of features and functions can be customized to the
driver(s) preference. The identity of the vehicle user is provid-
ed by a
s~gnal from the keyless entry system (FZV).
Car Memory and Key Memory are actually two separate func-
tions, although they are marketed as a combined feature.

Central Locking and ~nti-~hefil
Key Memory
Whenever one of the FZV keys is used to lock or unlock the
car, the user is identified by the GM. A maximum of four
keys
can be programmed with the Key Memoryfeature. The use of
the personalized key then triggers Car Memory functions
such as heating
I AIC (IHKA) settings or memory seat position
adjustment.
Most programming of Key Memory requires the use of
BMW
scan tools (DISplus, GT1 or MoDiC). However, features such
as
IHKA blower speed and temperature store automatically
without the use of scan tools.
Available Key Memory functions vary based on vehicle equip-
ment. The functions that can be set include:
Automatic locking after start off (vehicle speed)
Selective locking
Heating
1 AJC blower speed, heated or cooled air distribu-
tion, automatic blower setting
Trunk lid soft close (SCA)
< The optional sofl close trunk feature is called SCA. The SCA
actuator is located in the panel below the trunk lid.
1. SCA motor and actuator located behind trunk trim in
rear wall of
trunlc
2. Lower edge of trunlc seal
3. Cam in open position
4. Cam in closed position
The actuator is controlled by a load relay in the General Mod-
ule (GM). The closing cam is mounted on an eccentric that is
driven by the actuator. The cam always turns
180" in the
same direction to open or close the trunk.
