- The trunk can be opened from this remote release when the
doors are locked from the central locking button. The

remote button is disabled when the trunkis loclted in the valet
position or when a speed signal of
4 mph is present at the
GM.
Remote entry (FZV)
< The €39 remote (keyless) entry system (FZV) uses a tiny ra-
dio transmitter in the vehicle key to
lock and unlock the doors
and the trunk by remote control. There are a number of other
features incorporated in FZV:
Locltinglunloclting of fuel filler lid
Selective unlocking of driver's door (as with key in lock)
Armingldisarming of DWA alarm system
Remote unlocking of
trunk lid or tailgate
Comfort opening of windows and sunroof
* Interior lighting activation
Panic mode alarm activation
* Models to 1999: Key incorporates LED. LED informs oper-
ator that an FZV signal is being transmitted. LED is also
useful indicator of key initialization status and lkey self-test.
Keys delivered with four different colored labels. This is
helpful to differentiate FZV keys during initialization,
pre.
venting possibility of misassigning key ID which would
change coded Key Memory functions.

1 Central Locking and Anti-Theft
NOJE-
A single unlock request from the driver's door with the FZV
key unlocks the driver's door only.
A second unlock request
unlocls the remaining doors and trunk. This feature can be
modified for individual users with the Key Memory capabil-
ities to activate all lock actuators simultaneously See Car
Memory
/ Key Memory later in this section.
Starting with 2000 models, the battery in the FZV ignition
Icey is recharged by the ignition switch ring antenna while
the ley is in the ignition switch.
Transmitter self-test (models to
1999)
Press buttons 1 and 2 at the same time. This starts ltey trans-
/ mitter self-test. Transmitter is OK when LED glows steadily
te{le"el for that particular key and illuminate an instrument
cluster message.

NOTE-
If you replace the batteries within one minute, the FZV ley
will not require a new initialization procedure.

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.
Car Memory
Pr'or ro new
veh c,e de very, the BMW scan roo (DISp us,
GTI or MOD C) is ~sed lo cooc ine driver preierences nro ine
appropriate control modules. Thereafter these choices can-
not be changed without
recoding with a BMW scan tool.
The functions that can be set using Car Memory include:
Alarm system (DWA) features such as armingldisarming
with
lkeyless entry (FZV), activation of tilt sensor or interior
sensor
lnterior light activation when central
locking is used
Convenience opening of
windows/sunroof
lnterior and external lighting preferences

Seat and mirror preferences (triggered by Key Memory)

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.

SCA operation
Three microswitches are used to operate trunk latching sys-
tem.
Microswitch mounted on lock cylinder. Pushing lock cylin-
der in will signal GM to activate actuator and open trunk.
Q Microswitch in actuator signals GM when trunlc has re-
leased. Actuator shuts off.
When closing trunk, third microswitch (on trunk latch) sig-
nals GM to activate actuator. Cam turns to pull lid closed.
Foroverload protection,
ON duration of actuator is limited to a
max.
5 seconds.
Emergency opening of trunk is provided by a mechanical link
from the lockcylinder.
If the trunlc has been opened by the
emergency release, it can be
reclosed as a conventional lid
with normal pressure.
Tailgate and rear window locks
The Sport Wagon tailgate can be opened from:
0 Remote lkey (FZV)
Interior tailgate release button at driver's lkick panel

Any of these input requests to the GM activates the tailgate
latch motor. The
GM will also switch on the interior lights with
a tailgate unlock request.
The rearwindow is opened with the release switch on the rear
wiper arm cover. Pressing the switch signals the GM to acti-
vate the rear window release relay.
