Personal Profile
You can set many of your BMW's functions to
suit your personal needs and preferences.
Without any action on your part, Personal Pro-
file ensures that most of these settings are
stored for the remote control currently in use.
When you unlock the car, the remote control
used for the purpose is recognized and the set-
tings stored for it are called up and imple-
mented.
This means that your personal settings are
active when you return to your BMW, even if the
car was used in the meantime by someone else
with a remote control of their own and the set-
tings were changed accordingly.
You can configure a maximum of three remote
controls for three different people. The prereq-
uisite for this is that each person has his or her
own remote control.

Central locking system
The concept
The central locking system is ready for opera-
tion whenever the driver's door is closed.
The system simultaneously engages and
releases the locks on the following:
>Doors
>Luggage compartment lid
>Fuel filler door
Operation of the central locking system
from outside
>Via the remote control
>Via the door lock
The anti-theft system is automatically activated
whenever you operate the central locking sys-
tem from outside the vehicle. It prevents the
doors from being unlocked using the lock but-
tons or door handles. The interior lamp and the
courtesy lamps
* are also switched on or off
with the remote control. The alarm system
* is
also armed or disarmed.
For further details of the alarm system,
refer to
page34.
Operation of the central locking system
from inside
By means of the button for central locking, refer
to page32.
In the event of a sufficiently severe accident, the
central locking system unlocks automatically. In
addition, the hazard warning flashers and inte-
rior lamps come on.
