2001 BMW 750IL manual unlock

Central Locking
Purpose of the System
The Central Locking System provides locking/
unlocking of the entire vehicle from one central
exterior point. From the driver’s door or the
remote (key-less) entry, a lock/unlock request will
lock/unlock all exterior doors, luggage compart-
ment and the fuel filler flap.
From inside, the vehicle can be locked/ unlocked using a cen-
tral locking button located in the center console. Individual
doors can be unlocked manually by pulling twice on the inte-
rior door handle.
From 2000 MY
- if the vehicle has been double locked, press
the central locking button and pull the interior door handle
twice (alarm will sound when the door opens).
Locking the vehicle from the central switch will “single lock” all
doors, luggage compartment and not lock the fuel filler flap.
The Central Locking System utilizes the GM III and Door Modules to carry out all of the lock-
ing/unlocking features:
• Remote (key-less) entry is standard.
• When locked from the outside, the vehicle will double lock and arm the DWA System. The
ignition must be switched off and the driver’s door must be opened and closed.
• Selective unlocking from the outside of the vehicle. Unlocking from the driver’s door or
remote transmitter will only unlock the driver’s door and disarm the DWA System. A sec-
ond request will unlock the remaining doors and luggage compartment. This feature can
be modified for individual users in Key Memory to open all doors from a single request.
• A single central locking button is installed in the center console that will operate when all
of the doors are closed. Locking the vehicle from the central switch will “single lock” all
doors, luggage compartment and not lock the fuel filler flap. When unlocking, a single
request will unlock the driver’s door only. This feature can be modified for individual users
in Key Memory to open all doors and luggage compartment from a single request.

• A remote luggage compartment button is installed in the left kick panel (center console
in the E53) to open the luggage compartment from inside the vehicle.
• The EWS is interfaced for double lock monitoring and unlock function. With the presence
of an accepted EWS key in the ignition, the vehicle will be unlocked and disarm DWA.
• The automatic locking feature (> 99 MY) activates the door locks when a road speed
signal of 5 MPH and engine RPM is detected via the K-Bus. The factory default setting
of this feature is off (can be encoded on for individual users with Key Memory function).
• In the event of an accident (ignition on), the GM will be signalled to unlock all doors.
Hardware Features:
• The external lock cylinders are located in the
driver’s door and luggage compartment lid
(E53/E39 Sport Wagon does not have a tail-
gate lock cylinder).
• The driver’s door and luggage compartment
incorporates an overrunning lock cylinder. The
lock cylinder will free wheel or spin If any key
other than the vehicle key or tool, such as a
screw driver, is inserted into the cylinder. The
lock cylinders can be manually locked/un-
locked by turning the key “past” lock/unlock.
• The door lock buttons are mechanically uncoupled from the
lock actuators when locked.
The door lock buttons “mechanically” lock the individual
doors. This provides manual locking in the event of a central
locking malfunction.
• Child safety locks (located in
the rear doors) are actuated
by inserting a key in the slot on
the door latch or by sliding a
lever (dependent on model).
The door can now only be
opened from outside.

• The luggage compartment can be manually
locked with a “Master Key” and leaving the
lock cylinder in the horizontal position which
prevents opening by any other method (sec-
ured for valet).
The luggage compartment release button in-
side the vehicle will also be ignored by the GM.
Prior to 2000 MY the vehicle could be locked/
unlocked using the luggage compartment lock
cylinder.
• The glove box has a lock cylinder to secure the
contents by manual locking with a “Master
Key” and leaving the lock cylinder in the hori-
zontal position which prevents opening by any
other method (secured for valet).
• The E38 has a lever behind the glove box han
dle which permits locking the glove box with-
out a key. Opening still requires a key.
The valet key is not mechanically capable of
entering either of these lock cylinders.
• The Fuel Filler Flap mechanical release is found
in the right side of the luggage compartment.
The “pull tether” is behind the button as shown
on the right.
Note: Continuous operation of locking/unlocking will cause a timed arrest of the
locking system. When activated, the timed arrest lasts for 2 minutes (or recycle
the ignition KL15). The “crash” signal will override the timed arrest and unlock the
vehicle.

Interior Lighting
Purpose of the System
The GM controls the interior lighting automatical-
ly with the status change of several monitored
inputs. The lighting can also be manually con-
trolled using the interior light switch.
In addition to the various time controls, the inte-
rior lights are also subject to the 16 minute shut
down of the GM (consumer protection).
Principle of Operation
The interior light switch is a push button switch that will carry out the opposite command
of the current status of the lights. (ie: if the interior lights are currently on, pushing the but-
ton will switch the lights off.)
• If the interior lights are switched “ON” by the button with the ignition switched ON, the
interior lights will remain on until they are switched off by the button.
• If the interior lights are switched “ON” when the ignition is switched OFF, the lights will
remain on for 16 minutes (consumer cutout).
• Pressing the interior light button for longer than three seconds will switch the lights to
continuous off. This feature is intended for workshop use.
Pressing the button again will
return the lights to the normal operational status.
• Locking the vehicle from the outside will immediately switch off the interior lights.
The ON/OFF conditions for the interior lights in the automatic mode are as follows:
ON Conditions
• Door Open.
• Switching off ignition after exterior
lights have been switched off.
• MRS Control Module crash input.
• Unlocking with FZV or pressing FZV
lock button when the vehicle is
already locked (interior search fution).
