Opening and closing

Opening and closingKeys1The Key Memory functions are controlled
by the two remote control units with their
integrated keys, refer to page 59.
The color-coded decals that you received
when taking delivery of your vehicle can be
used to identify the individual remote
control units
Each remote control unit is equipped
with an extended-life battery which is
automatically recharged in the ignition lock
each time you drive the vehicle.
If you have any remote control units that
are not being used on a regular basis, you
should therefore remember to recharge
these units by using them to drive the
vehicle for an extended period at least
once a year, refer to page 35.<
2Spare key for storage in a safe place,
such as in your wallet. This key is not
intended for constant use
3Adapter for spare key
The adapter can be used to store the spare
key. It can be stored in the place provided
within the luggage compartment lid-
mounted onboard tool kit to ensure that it
will always be available, refer to page 181.
You can find more detailed information on
using the adapter in the section Using the
spare key adapter.
To remove the key from the remote
control unit Press the button 1 to release the key.
You can use this integrated key to lock the
storage compartment located beneath the
front armrest.
Within this storage compartment you will
also find the switch for locking the luggage
compartment separately, refer to page 39.
This precaution prevents unauthorized
access to the vehicle's luggage compart-
ment when you subsequently hand over
only the remote control unit when leaving
the vehicle for valet parking, etc. Using the spare key adapter You will need the adapter to activate the
ignition and to start the vehicle with the
spare key.
Slide up the cover 1 and insert the spare
key 2 in the adapter. Close the cover and
insert the adapter in the ignition lock.

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.<
