Indicator and warning lamps
Technology that monitors itself
The indicator and warning lamps identified
by the
+ symbol are subjected to an oper-
ation check each time you switch on the
ignition or start the engine. They each light
up once for different periods of time.
When a malfunction occurs in a monitored
system, the corresponding lamp will either
fail to go out when the engine is started, or
it will come on again during normal driving.
For information on how you should respond
when this happens, please refer to the
pages indicated.
Please fasten safety belts

Opening and closing
38 You can also have the system pro-
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
meantime. This can be adjusted to be key-
specific.<
Unlocking and opening the doors
>Either unlock the doors together with
the button for the central locking
system and then pull the release handle
above the armrest or
>pull the release handle for each door
twice: the first pull unlocks the door,
and the second one opens it.
When the low beams are switched on,
the interior door handles are also
lighted. The intensity of the lighting is
adjusted using the instrument lighting, refer
to page 103.<
Engaging the locks
>Use the central locking button to lock all
of the doors simultaneously,
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. <
Doors
Soft Close Automatic*
Apply gentle pressure to the door to close
it. The closing process will then be carried
out automatically.
To avoid injuries, ensure that the
door's travel path is completely free
and clear before closing.<
Luggage compartment lid
Opening from outside
Press the button. The luggage compart-
ment lid opens.
During opening the luggage compart-
ment lid pivots upward and to the
rear. Ensure that adequate clearance is
available before opening.<
The lock
All of the vehicle's keys fit the luggage
compartment lid lock located in the license
plate recess.

Opening and closing
42 Lock, i.e. arm by pressing twice; press
button 2of the remote control
twice in succession, refer to page 36, or
lock twice with the key, refer to page 37.
The indicator lamp lights up briefly and
then flashes continuously. The tilt alarm
sensor and the interior motion sensor are
switched off as long as the system is
armed.
If you desire, the
>tilt alarm sensor
>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, refer to section on Avoiding unin-
tentional alarms, when you wish to leave
the windows or sliding/tilt sunroof open.
Electric power windows
Opening and closing windows
From radio mode on:
>Press the switch until you feel resis-
tance:
The window continues to move down-
ward as long as you continue to hold
the switch >Press the switch beyond the pressure
point:
The window moves downward auto-
matically. Press the switch again to
stop the opening movement.
You can close the windows in the same
manner by pulling the switch.
The electric power windows remain avail-
able for use after the ignition is switched
off:
>For approx. 15 minutes with the remote
control unit in the radio mode
>For approx. 1 minute in position 0 or
with the remote control unit disen-
gaged.
To open, press the switch beyond the pres-
sure point.
When leaving the vehicle parked,
always remove the remote control
from the ignition lock and close the doors;
this precaution prevents children from
operating the power windows and injuring
themselves, etc.<
For information on using the convenience
operation mode at the door lock or with the
remote control unit, refer to page 36 or 37.
Safety feature
If the force rises beyond a predefined
threshold during closing, the system will
immediately stop moving the window prior
to lowering it slightly.
Despite this safety feature you should
always inspect the window's travel
path prior to closing it, as the safety system
might fail to detect certain kinds of obstruc-
tions, such as very thin objects, and the
window would continue closing.
Pulling the switch beyond the pressure
point and holding it limits the response of
the safety feature. Under these conditions
the window will respond to forces beyond a
defined threshold by only opening several
millimeters.
If you again pull the switch past the pres-
sure point and hold it in position within a
period of roughly 4 seconds, the safety fea-
ture will be deactivated.<

When you close the windows they will
slow down as they approach the end
of their travel; this is to allow the safety fea-
ture to respond more precisely to any
obstructions encountered in this critical
range.<
Safety switch
With the safety switch, you can prevent the
rear windows from being opened or closed
via the switches in the rear passenger area,
by children, for example. The switch also
deactivates the rear-mounted switches
controlling the rear seats' power adjust-
ment, refer to page 47, and the rear
window sun blinds, refer to page 115. The
indicator lamp lights up when this safety
feature is activated.
Press the safety switch whenever
children are riding in the rear of the
vehicle. Careless use of the power win-
dows 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 portable phone Ð
within the window's travel range, you will
need to have the system reinitialized for
use under the new conditions. Please con-
tact 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 it in the desired direction up to the
pressure 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 mode
>For approx. 1 minute in position 0 or
with the remote control unit disen-
gaged.
The headliner insert slides back somewhat
when you raise the sunroof. When the sun-
roof 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 unit, refer to page 36 or 37.

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 fea-
ture might fail to detect certain kinds of
obstructions, such as very thin objects, and
the sunroof would continue closing.
Pressing the switch beyond the pressure
point and holding it limits the response of
the safety feature. The sunroof only opens
a short distance.
If you again press the switch past the pres-
sure point and hold it in position within
about 1.5 seconds, the safety feature will
be deactivated.<
When you close the sliding/tilt sun-
roof it will slow down as it approaches
the end of its travel path; this is to allow the
safety feature to respond more precisely to
any obstructions encountered in this crit-
ical range.<
Following interruptions in electrical
power supply
Following interruptions in electrical power,
for instance, when the battery is discon-
nected, it is possible that the sliding/tilt
sunroof will extend to its tilt-up position,
but fail to respond to other commands.
Should this occur, please have the sunroof
reinitialized at your BMW center.
Malfunctions
In the event of an electrical malfunction,
you can operate the sliding/tilt sunroof
manually:
1.Take out the interior light, reach behind
the opening, press out the cover
2.Insert the Allen wrench supplied with
the onboard tool kit, refer to page 195,
in the opening provided. Turn to slide
the sliding/tilt sunroof in the desired
direction.
