illustration). Maintain pressure on
button 1 while rapidly pressing
button 2 three times in succession
within a period of 10 seconds
5. Release button 1. LED 3 flashes
slowly for a maximum of 10 seconds
6. The central locking system engages
and releases all lock mechanisms in
rapid succession to indicate that the
initialization procedure has been
successfully completed.
If the LED does not flash or if the
central locking system fails to respond,
the initialization procedure will have to
be repeated.
All additional master keys with remote
control for your vehicle (up to a
maximum of four units) must now be
initialized. Make sure that no more than
30 seconds is allowed to elapse
between the individual initialization
procedures. Repeat steps 4 and 5. The
central locking system will respond to
each initialization procedure as
descriped in step 6.
In the event of a system malfunction,
please contact your BMW center, who
can also provide you with replacement
keys.Turn each new master key into
ignition position 2 (ignition
switched on) and back again to allow
the electronic vehicle immobilizer (refer
to page 31) to recognize the new key.
To prevent unauthorized use of the
master key, surrender only the door and
ignition key 3 or the spare key 2 (refer
to page 30) for valet parking, for
instance.<
