Key/remote control
1The Key Memory functions are con-
trolled by the remote control units with
their integrated keys, refer to page 60.
The color-coded decals that you
received when taking delivery of your
vehicle can be used to identify the indi-
vidual 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 compart-
ment lid-mounted onboard tool kit to
ensure that it will always be available,
refer to page 195. You can find more
detailed information on using the
adapter in the section Using the spare
key adapter.
Removing the key from the remote
control unit
Press button 1 to release the key.
With the integrated key you can unlock and
lock the following:
>the storage compartment under the
front armrest
>the driver's door
>the luggage compartment lid.
Within the storage compartment you will
also find the switch for locking the luggage
compartment separately, refer to page 39.
If you lock the storage compartment and
only turn over the remote control, no
access is possible via the luggage com-
partment lid.
Using the spare key adapter
You will need the adapter to activate the
ignition and to start the vehicle with the
spare key.

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 the outside
>via the remote control
>via the driver's door lock
and 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 acti-
vated whenever you activate the central
locking system from outside the vehicle.
The alarm system is armed/disarmed at the
same time.
In the event of an accident, the central
locking system unlocks automatically Ð 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
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. In addition, the remote control offers you
another function:
>Panic mode
In case of danger, you can trigger an
alarm.
You can have various confirmation
signals programmed into the system
to verify that the vehicle has been locked
securely.<

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.<
When it is no longer possible to lock
the vehicle via the remote control, the
battery is discharged. Use this remote con-
trol 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.<

grammed to activate the central
locking system automatically whenever the
vehicle is set in motion, or when a specific
interval elapses after it is unlocked, pro-
vided that neither the doors nor the lug-
gage compartment lid are opened in the

or
>press the individual safety lock buttons
down. To prevent the driver from being
inadvertently locked out of the vehicle,
the lock button on the driver's door
automatically extends again after a brief
period if the door remains open.
Do not use the safety lock buttons to
engage the locks during driving, as
they would then fail to disengage automat-
ically in the event of an accident.
Because any persons or animals left unat-
tended 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. <

Alarm system
The concept
The vehicle alarm system responds:
>When a door, the hood, or the luggage
compartment lid is opened
>To movement in the vehicle's interior Ð
interior motion sensor
>To changing the vehicle's tilt if someone
attempts to steal the wheels or tow the
vehicle
>To interruption of battery voltage.
The system responds to unauthorized
vehicle entry and attempted theft by simul-
taneously activating:
>An acoustic alarm, which lasts for a
period of approx. 30 seconds
>The hazard warning flashers for approx.
five minutes
>The high beams, which flash on and off
in the same rhythm.
Arming and disarming 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 dis-
armed at the same time.
The system indicates that it has been cor-
rectly 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.<
You can open the luggage compartment
lid even if the alarm is armed using
button 3of the remote control, refer
to page 36. It is armed once again when
the lid is closed.
Pressing the Panic mode button for a
longer period triggers the alarm, refer
to page 36.<
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 com-
pletely closed. Even if you do not close
the alerted area, the system begins to
monitor the remaining areas, and the
indicator lamp flashes continuously
after 10 seconds. However, the interior
motion sensor is not activated
>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:
