Seat and mirror memory
*
You can store as many as three
different driver's seat and mirror adjust-
ment settings into the system for later
selection.
The lumbar support adjustment is
not stored in the memory. 2. Adjust the seat and door mirrors to
the desired position
3. Press the
M
EMORY button: indi-
cator lamp in the button comes on
4. Press memory button 1, 2 or 3, as
desired: indicator lamp goes out.
To select a stored setting
You should never activate the
memory feature while the vehicle
is moving, as the seat could move in a
way that you had not anticipated,
posing an accident hazard.<
Ignition key in position 1:
>Briefly press memory button 1, 2 or 3,
as desired.
Movement stops immediately when
one of the seat-adjustment or
memory buttons is activated during
the adjustment process.
With the driver's door closed and the
ignition key either removed or in posi-
tion 0 or 2:
>Maintain pressure on the desired
memory button (1, 2 or 3) until the
adjustment process is completed.
If you press the
M
EMORY button
accidentally: press the button
again; the indicator lamp goes out.<
Your BMW center can adjust your
vehicle's systems in such a
manner that your personalized settings
are automatically set for the seat and
exterior mirror positions when you
unlock the vehicle with your personal
remote control.<
Before activating the programmed
adjustment feature ensure that the
footwell behind the driver's seat is
empty and unobstructed. If you fail to
do so, any persons or objects behind
the seat could be injured or damaged
by a rearward movement of the seat.<

function(Automatic curb monitor
*)
1 Set the mirror selection switch 1 to
the "driver's door mirror" position
2 When the selector lever is placed in
"Reverse", the passenger-side mirror
tilts downward to help the driver
monitor the area directly adjacent to
the vehicle during parking (curbs,
etc.).
You can deactivate this automatic
feature by setting the mirror selection
switch to the "passenger side" position.
The seat cushion and backrest can
be heated with the ignition key in posi-
tion 2.
You can call up different heating modes
by repeatedly pressing the button.
You can also switch the higher heating
modes off directly:
Press the button and hold it slightly
longer.
Adjustments1. Fold down the detent lever
2. Adjust the steering column to obtain
the best reach and rake angles for
the current seat position
3. Fold the detent lever back up to
engage the lock.
Never attempt to adjust the
steering wheel while driving the
vehicle Ð it could respond with unex-
pected movement, posing a potential
accident hazard.<

Mirrors To adjust exterior mirrors1 Switch for 4-way adjustment
2 Selection switch for changing
between mirrors
To adjust manuallyYou can also adjust the mirrors manually:press against the edges of the lens.
Storing mirror positions, refer to Seat
and mirror memory on page 45.
The mirror on the passenger's
side features a lens with a more
convex surface than the mirror installed
on the driver's side. When estimating
the distance between yourself and
other traffic, bear in mind that the
objects reflected in the mirror are closer
than they appear. This means that esti-
mations of the distance to following
traffic should not be regarded as
precise. This same precaution applies
to the rectangular outside sections of
both door mirrors. *
Both mirrors are heated automatically
when the ignition key is in position 2.
Interior rearview mirror To reduce glare from vehicles behind
you when you are driving at night, tilt
the mirror by turning the knob.
Vehicles not equipped with an alarm
system:
Fold the small lever forward.

Vehicle Memory, Key Memory How it worksNo doubt you have often reflected on
how great it would be if you could
permanently configure your vehicle's
various features and adjustments to
mirror your own personal preferences.
In engineering your vehicle, BMW has
included a number of options for
storing personal adjustment data.
These can be programmed at your
BMW center.
The available configuration data fall into
two categories, according to whether
their primary orientation is the vehicle
(Vehicle Memory) or the individual (Key
Memory). Provided that each person
has a separate remote-control key, you
can have your BMW center enter basic
adjustment data for up to four individ-
uals in the system.
The system relies on a bilateral data
exchange to identify the individual user
and dial in the selected settings when-
ever the remote control unit is used to
disengage the locks.
Color-coded decals have been
provided to help you distinguish the
different keys with their individual
settings.What the system can doYou can learn about the entire array of
features this system offers at your BMW
center. Here are just a few examples:
Examples for Vehicle Memory:
>Various confirmation signals when
you lock or unlock the vehicle, refer
to pages 29, 31
>Activation/deactivation of the "Follow
me home" lamps, refer to page 82
>Activation/deactivation of the
daytime driving lamps, refer to
page 82.Examples for Key Memory:
>Engagement of the vehicle's door
locks as soon as it starts to move,
refer to page 32
>Automatic seat adjustment according
to the individual's personal settings
when the vehicle is unlocked, refer to
page 45
>Option of unlocking the driver's door
first, and then the rest of the vehicle,
refer to page 32.
At various points in this Owner's
Manual you will see this symbol
indicating that the system or function
described in the adjacent section can
be adjusted to reflect your personal
preferences.<
