Notices
Do not use the voice command
system to make emergency SOS
calls. Your voice and habitual tone could be
affected by stressful situations, as a result
of which the process of establishing the
telephone connection could be unneces-
sarily delayed. Instead, you should use the
emergency SOS button located adjacent to
the rearview mirror, refer to page 161.<
Environmental conditionsThe voice command system uses a special
microphone located on the front headliner
of your vehicle. Although the system is
designed to filter out ambient noise, you
can help ensure that your commands will
be understood by observing the following
instructions:
>Speak smoothly and clearly, at a normal
volume. Do not place any unusual stress on
individual syllables, and avoid pauses
>Do not speak while the voice command
system is talking
>Keep the doors, windows and sunroof
closed to prevent interference from
ambient noise
>Avoid other sources of noise in the
vehicle while speaking, and ask other
vehicle occupants to refrain from talking
while you are using the system.
>The hands-free microphone is aimed
toward the driver. This means that the
system may be unable to register the
voices of other vehicle occupants properly;
passengers should use the mobile phone
instead.
The notebookRecording a note
>>Record note<<<
You can store approx. ten minutes of
spoken text Ð either as a single entry or as
multiple entries of any desired length.
To terminate recording:
Apply extended pressure to
the button.
The voice command system does not
respond to the commands
>>Cancel<< and >>Exit<< while you are
recording a note. The standard utility that
scans for system commands is deactivated
in the note mode to allow you to record any
text desired, without artificial restrictions.
This feature saves you from having to
concentrate on avoiding these words while
recording.<
To listen to a notebook entryListening to recorded notebook entries:
1.>>Read out (note)<<
or >>Listen to (note)<<
The system plays back roughly the first
3 seconds of the first memorandum.
2.Respond to the query >Note and then<
by selecting the desired function
>To listen to the entire note:
>>Read (note)<<
(>>Listen to (note)<<)
>To hear the next notebook entry:
>>Next note<< (>>(Note) next<<)
>To hear the entry again:
>>(Note) back<<
or
>>Once again<< (>>Repeat<<, >>Read
out<<).<

>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.

1.Select the driver's door mirror with the
switch
2.When you tap the selector lever to select
reverse, the door mirror on the passenger
side tilts downward. This allows the driver
to see the area immediately adjacent to the

etc.
You can deactivate this automatic feature:
Slide the mirror selection switch to the
"passenger's side" position.
Airbags 1Front airbags for driver and front
passenger
2Head airbags in front and rear
*
3Side airbags in front and rear*
4Knee airbags for driver and front
passenger
Airbags are located under the upholstery
covers on the steering wheel, in the instru-
ment panel, in the door trim panels in front
and rear
*, on the roof pillars and the sides
of the headliner.
Protective effect The front airbags protect the front passen-
gers by responding to frontal impacts in
which safety belts alone cannot provide
adequate restraint. When needed, the head
and side airbags help provide protection in
the event of side impact. The side airbags
help restrain the side of the occupant's
upper torso, and the head airbags help
support the head while also helping
provide protection against any objects
penetrating into the passenger compart-ment. The knee airbags help protect the
legs against impact against the cockpit.
The side airbags in the rear
passenger area of your vehicle may
already have been deactivated either at the
time of manufacture or by a BMW center.
You may have them activated if you desire
to do so. Please contact your BMW center
for additional information.<
For information on the proper sitting posi-
tion, refer to page 45.
The airbags do not deploy in
response to minor collisions or rear
impacts, nor do they respond to certain
kinds of vehicle rollover.<
Even when all safety guidelines are
observed, there is a small residual risk that
passengers will sustain facial, hand or arm
injuries in isolated instances. The ignition
and inflation noise may provoke a mild
temporary hearing loss in extremely sensi-
tive individuals.
