How the system functions
Doubtless you have often reflected on how
great it would be if you could configure
your vehicle's various adjustment settings
to meet your own personal requirements. In
developing your vehicle, BMW has incor-
porated a number of options for personal
adjustment which you can set in the Con-
trol Center. You can have these pro-
grammed at your BMW center.
The available configuration settings fall into
two categories, according to whether their
primary orientation is the vehicle Ð Vehicle
Memory Ð or the individual Ð Key Memory.
You can have up to four different basic set-
tings adjusted for four different persons.
The only requirement is that each person
uses his or her own remote control.
When your vehicle is unlocked with the
remote control, the vehicle recognizes the
individual user by means of a data
exchange with the key, and makes adjust-
ments accordingly.
Color-coded decals are provided to help
you distinguish the individual remote con-
trol units with their different settings.
What the system can do
Please contact your BMW center for more
information on the range of options avail-
able with Vehicle Memory and Key
Memory.
You will see this symbol throughout
the Owner's Manual. It is to remind
you at appropriate places of the settings that are available to you. These positions
can be looked up in the index under the
respective keyword.<
Following configuration of the
memory functions, vehicle operation
may differ from the description in the
Owner's Manual. Should you want to sell
your BMW some day, please remember to
have the memory functions reset to the
default state.<
Examples of Vehicle Memory
functions
>Central locking system: set different
signals as an acknowledgment
>Follow-me-home lamps: activate/deac-
tivate function
>Daytime driving lamps: activate/deacti-
vate function
>Alarm system: set different acknowl-
edgment signals to confirm arming/dis-

>Alarm system: activate/deactivate inte-

have not opened a door or the luggage
compartment lid after unlocking. Acti-
vate/deactivate function

Selecting wiper fold-out position
Important for changing wiper blades, when
folding away from windshield to prevent
blades from sticking when ice forms, etc.
1.Switch off the engine and remove the
remote control unit from the ignition
lock
2.Press the wiper lever up and maintain
pressure for about 3 seconds until the
wipers are roughly vertical Ð this is the
fold-out position.
After folding the wipers back against the
windshield you will need to reactivate the
wiper system:
1.Insert the remote control unit to activate
the radio mode in the ignition lock
2.Apply brief upward pressure to the
wiper lever. The wipers return to their
retracted position and are ready for
normal operation.
To prevent damage to the wipers,
always fold them back against the
windshield before switching on either the
radio mode or the ignition.<
Washer fluid
Windshield and headlamp washer
system
Capacity: 6.3 US quarts (6 liters).
Fill with water and Ð if required Ð with a
washer antifreeze, according to manufac-
turer's recommendations.
We recommend that you mix the
washer fluid before adding it to the
reservoir.< Washer fluid antifreeze is flammable.
Always keep it well away from sparks
and open flames, and store it in tightly
closed containers well out of the reach of
children. Always observe the instructions
for use provided on the container.<
Programmable cruise
control
The concept
The programmable cruise control is avail-
able for use at speeds of approx. 20 mph
(30 km/h) and higher. The vehicle maintains
and stores the speed that you set using the
lever mounted on the steering column.
You can also use the multilevel preset
mode to store 6 desired speeds for later
selection with the lever on the steering
column, refer to page 75.
This feature assists you in quickly adapting
the vehicle speed to specific road condi-
tions, e.g. changes in speeds limits.
Do not use the cruise control when
driving on winding roads, in case of
heavy traffic or poor road conditions Ð
snow, rain, ice, loose road surface Ð that do
not permit a constant speed.<
One lever for all functions
Activating system
Press 1 or pull 2 lever as far as the detent.
The system maintains and stores the cur-
rent vehicle speed.

Driving

1 Maintaining and storing speed,
accelerating
Press the lever as far as the detent:
The system maintains and stores the cur-
rent vehicle speed. Every time you tap the
lever the vehicle's speed increases by
roughly 1 mph (1 km/h).
Press the lever longer:
The vehicle accelerates without pressure
on the accelerator pedal. The system main-
tains and stores your current speed as
soon as you release the lever.
The vehicle may accelerate beyond
the preset speed on steep downhill
stretches where the engine's braking effect
alone may not be sufficient to slow the
vehicle. Speed can drop on uphill grades if
the engine output is insufficient.<
2 Maintaining and storing speed,
decelerating
Pull lever back to detent:
The system maintains and stores the cur-
rent vehicle speed. Every time you tap the
lever the vehicle's speed decreases by
roughly 1 mph (1 km/h).
Pull the lever longer:
The throttle aperture is automatically
reduced, slowing the vehicle. The system
maintains and stores your current speed as
soon as you release the lever.
3 Interrupting cruise control
Briefly press the lever up or down while the
cruise control is active.
In addition, cruise control is interrupted
automatically
>when you apply pressure to the brake
pedal
>when you select the automatic trans-
mission's neutral range N
>when the DSC system, Dynamic Sta-
bility Control, is in active operation.
4 Recalling stored speed
Briefly press button 4:
The vehicle accelerates to and maintains
the last speed stored.
Deactivating system
When the ignition is switched off, the
system is deactivated and the stored speed
is deleted.

stored and displayed as the available
speed 5.
If no desired speeds are stored, you
can increase or reduce the speed by
5 mph (10 km/h) with the multilevel preset
function activated each time you press or
pull the lever beyond the resistance point.<

it will be necessary to delete one
before entering a new preset speed.<
While driving
Activate multilevel preset function.
Maintain pressure on button 4 for approx.
3 seconds. The respective driven speed is
applied as the desired speed and displayed
with 6.
If all of the graduations flash at once
this indicates that 6 desired speeds
have already been stored. You must then
delete at least one.<
Deleting desired speeds
Select the desired speed 5.
Press button 4 for approx. 3 seconds.
Active cruise control*
The concept
With active cruise control you can select a
desired speed which is not only automati-
cally maintained when driving on open
roadways, but also varied to maintain a
selected distance setting as slower traffic
is encountered.
Active cruise control is a technological
advance over the familiar cruise control
and is a welcome relief from the constant
adjustment of speed that can accompany
driving in traffic on freeways or other high-
speed thoroughfares. Especially on longer

Ice warning
A warning signal sounds when the outside
temperature falls to roughly +37.57
(+36); this is accompanied by a message
in the Check Control.
Please bear in mind that the ice
warning does nothing to alter the fact
that glare ice may be present on roads at
temperatures higher than +37.57 (+36),
for instance, on bridges and shade-
covered surfaces.<
