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.

feature is activated.
Press the safety switch whenever
children are riding in the rear of the
vehicle. Careless use of the power
windows can lead to injury.<
The remote control unit must be
locked in position in the ignition lock
before this safety feature can be deacti-
vated.< After installing accessories After installing any accessory Ð such as a
clamp-on antenna for a mobile phone Ð
within the window's travel range, you will
need to have the system reinitialized for
use under the new conditions . Please
contact your BMW center for assistance. Sliding/tilt sunroof*

To prevent injuries, exercise care
when closing the sliding/tilt sunroof
and keep it in your field of vision until it is
shut.
When leaving the vehicle, always disen-
gage the remote control in the ignition lock
and close the doors to prevent children
from operating the sunroof and injuring
themselves, etc.<
Raising Ð Opening Ð Closing From "radio" mode on, press the switch, or
slide in the desired direction up to the pres-
sure point.
After the ignition is switched off the sunroof
remains available for operation:>for approx. 15 minutes with the remote
control unit in the "radio" position
>for approx. 1 minute in position 0 or with
the remote control unit disengaged.
The headliner insert slides back somewhat
when you raise the sunroof. When the
sunroof is opened the headliner retracts
with it.
Do not use force to close the head-
liner insert with the sunroof in its
raised position, as damage to the mecha-
nism could result.<
For information on using the convenience
operation mode at the door lock or with the
remote control, refer to page 37 or 36.
Automatic* opening and closing Press the switch past the pressure point
and then release it.
In addition, the following response is also
automatic:
With the sunroof open, press the switch in
the "raise" direction: the sunroof rises to its
tilt-up end position.
Press the switch again in any direction to
stop the sunroof.
The automatic opening feature in the
"raise" direction can be deactivated.
Please contact your BMW center for assis-
tance.< Safety feature If the sliding/tilt sunroof encounters resis-
tance
>when it is closing from the raised posi-
tion
>when it is closing from a point roughly
past the middle of its travel,
the closing cycle is interrupted and the
sliding/tilt sunroof will open again slightly.
Despite this safety feature you should
always inspect the sunroof's travel
range prior to closing it, as the safety
feature might fail to detect certain kinds of
obstructions, such as very thin objects, and
the sunroof would continue closing.

Adjustments Correct sitting position

The ideal sitting position can make a vital
contribution to relaxed, fatigue-free driving.
The correct sitting position also works
together with the safety belts and airbags
to provide occupants with maximum levels
of passive safety in an accident. To ensure
that the safety systems operate with
optimal efficiency, we strongly urge you to
observe the instructions contained in the
following section.
For additional information on transporting
children safely, refer to page 57. Correct sitting position with airbags
Always maintain an adequate
distance between yourself and the
airbags. Always hold the steering wheel by
its rim with hands at the 9 o'clock and
3 o'clock positions, to minimize the risk of
injuries to your hands and arms in the event
of airbag deployment. No one and nothing
is to come between the airbags and the
seat occupant.
To prevent possible leg injuries should the
knee airbag deploy in an accident, ensure
that the front passenger assumes a correct
sitting position. Do not use the cover of the
front airbag on the front passenger side as
a storage area for objects, or as a rest for
feet or legs.<
For airbag locations and additional infor-
mation on airbags, refer to page 55.
Correct sitting position with safety
belts For the safety of all vehicle occupants,
please comply with the following instruc-
tions for wearing safety belts.
Never allow more than one person to
wear a single safety belt. Never allow
infants or small children to ride in a
passenger's lap. Avoid twisting the belt
while routing it firmly across the hips and
shoulder. Wear it as snugly against your body as possible. Do not allow the belt to
rest against hard or fragile objects.
Do not route the belt across your neck, or
run it across sharp edges. Be sure that the
belt does not become caught or jammed.
Avoid wearing loose or bulky clothing that
would prevent the belt from resting
securely against your body; pull on the
shoulder strap periodically to keep it
tensioned. In the event of a frontal impact,
a loose lap belt could slide over your hips,
leading to abdominal injury. In addition, the
safety belt's restraint effectiveness is
reduced if the belt is worn loosely.
Expectant mothers should always wear
their safety belts, taking care to position
the lap belt against the lower hips, where it
will not exert pressure against the abdom-
inal area.<
For putting on safety belts, refer to
page 50.
Seats For your personal safety when adjusting
the seat position, please follow the instruc-
tions below carefully.
Never attempt to adjust your seat
while operating the vehicle. The seat
could respond with unexpected move-
ment, and the ensuing loss of vehicle
control could lead to an accident.
Never recline the backrest to an extremely
horizontal position while the vehicle is
underway Ð this precaution is especially
important for front passengers and the
occupants of electric power rear seats to
remember. Failure to observe these
precautions can prevent the belts from
providing effective protection against
injury, as passengers could slide under the
belts in an accident.<
Please observe the information on using
safety belts provided on page 50 and the

You can use the adjustable upper backrest
for supplementary support in the shoulder
region. This provides a relaxed driving
position and helps relieve stress on the
shoulder muscles.
Make corrections in the forward/
backward adjustment of the seat to
ensure that the safety belt still fits firmly
against your body. If you do not do this, the
protection provided by the safety belt may
be reduced. adjustment
