Indicator and warning lamps of
the Check Control
Other indicator and warning lamps appear
in the display 8 of the Info Display as nec-
essary, accompanied by supplementary
text, refer to Check Control, page 82.

Opening and closing
40 >To a change in the vehicle's tilt if some-
one attempts to steal the wheels or tow
the vehicle
>To interruption of battery voltage.
The system responds to unauthorized vehi-
cle entry and attempted theft by simulta-
neously 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 also open the luggage compart-
ment lid with the system armed using
button 3 on the remote control, refer to
page 34. When you close the lid, the sys-
tem is rearmed.
Pressing the Panic mode button for a
longer period triggers the alarm, refer
to page 34.<
To deactivate the alarm
>unlock the vehicle using the remote
control, refer to page 34
>insert the remote control all the way into
the ignition lock, engaging the detent.
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
>The indicator lamp flashes when you
disarm the system before the remote
control unit is inserted in the ignition
lock, but for no more than roughly
5 minutes: an attempted entry has been
detected in the period since the system
was armed.
Following triggering of an alarm, the indica-
tor 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, i.e. arm twice; press button 2
on the remote control twice in succession,
refer to page 34.
The indicator lamp lights up briefly and

Malfunctions
The CD player is a Class 1 laser prod-
uct. Never remove the cover from the
housing. Do not operate the unit if the
cover is damaged. Operation without the
cover can lead to serious eye injury from
invisible laser beams.
Always refer all repair and maintenance
operations to qualified technicians.
With self-recorded CDs, labels applied
later can become detached during play-
back due to the development of heat, caus-
ing irreparable damage to the device.<
To prevent CDs from being copied
illegally, they are often provided with
copy protection by the manufacturer.
Under certain circumstances this can pre-
vent or restrict the playing of CDs on your
CD player. In this case please contact the
CD dealer or manufacturer.<
If you play self-recorded audio CDs, faults,
e.g. drop-outs, can occur, or the CD is not
played at all.
High levels of humidity inside the
player can condense on the laser's
scan lens and prevent it from reading the
CD.<

Xenon lamps
The service life of these bulbs is very long
and the probability of a failure is very low,
provided that they are not switched on and
off an unusual number of times.
In the unlikely event that one of these
lamps should fail, you can respond by
switching on your fog lamps and proceed-
ing carefully, where allowed by law.
To avoid risk of potentially fatal inju-
ries: owing to the extremely high volt-
ages at which these units operate, service work should always be entrusted to quali-
fied personnel.<
Parking and standing lamps
In the event of a malfunction, please con-
tact your BMW center.
