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 outside via the remote control as
well as via the driver's door lock
>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 37.
The anti-theft system is automatically
armed whenever you activate the central
locking system from outside the vehicle.
The alarm system is armed/deactivated 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 38. In addition, the hazard warning
flashers and interior lamps come on.Opening and closing Ð from
outside Using the remote control The remote control makes opening and
closing the doors of your vehicle very
convenient. Furthermore, it provides three
additional functions which you can only
execute via the remote control:
>Switching on interior lamps, refer to
page 36.
You can also use this function to locate
your vehicle in parking garages, etc. >Opening and closing the luggage
compartment lid, refer to pages 36, 39.
The luggage compartment lid opens,
regardless of whether it was previously
locked.
>Panic mode
In case of danger, you can trigger an alarm.
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.
You can have various confirmation
signals programmed into the system
to verify that the vehicle has been locked
securely.<
Remote control
Because any persons or animals left
unattended in a parked vehicle could
lock the doors from the inside, you should
always keep the remote control unit with
you; this precaution ensures that you will
remain able to unlock the vehicle from the
outside at all times.<
Because their batteries are automati-
cally charged by the ignition lock
during normal operation, remote control
units that are used regularly are always
charged and ready for use.
When it is no longer possible to lock the
vehicle via the remote control, the battery is
discharged. Use this remote control unit
during an extended drive; this will recharge
the battery, refer to page 34. In the event of
a system malfunction, please contact your
BMW center, which is also your source for
replacement keys.<

>The hazard warning flashers for approx.
five minutes
>The high beams, which flash on and off
in the same rhythm.To arm and disarm 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 is 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
the button 3on the remote control
unit, refer to page 36. 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 >If 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
>If the indicator lamp flashes for roughly
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 2 on the
remote control unit twice in succession,
refer to page 36, or lock the vehicle twice
using the key, refer to page 37.
The indicator lamp flashes briefly and then
flashes continuously. The tilt alarm sensor
and the interior motion sensor are switched
off long as the system is armed.
If you desire, the

>tilt alarm sensor, and
>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.
