Keys/remote controls
1Each remote control has an integrated key.
Power is supplied by a long-life recharge-
able battery that is automatically recharged
when it is in the ignition lock while the car is
being driven. Consequently, you should use
each remote control at least twice a year in
order to keep the batteries charged. The
settings called up and implemented when
the car is unlocked depend on which
remote control is used to unlock the car,
refer to Personal Profile, next page.
In addition, information about service
requirements is stored in the remote con-
trol, refer to Service data in the remote con-
trol on page185.
2Spare key for storage in a safe place, such
as in your wallet. This key is not intended for
regular use.
3The adapter is designed to hold your spare
key. It can be connected on the inner left-
hand side of the glove compartment lid. You
will find more information about the adapter
under Using the adapter for a spare key.
Integrated key of remote control and
spare key
The integrated key and spare key enable you to:
>Lock all the doors, the fuel filler door and the
luggage compartment lid together, refer to
page31
>Unlock and lock the glove compartment,
refer to page96>Unlock and lock the driver's door, for exam-
ple in the event of an electrical malfunction,
refer to page31
>Unlock and lock the luggage compartment
lid, refer to page33
Removing the integrated key
Press button1 to release the key.
Using the adapter for a spare key
The adapter is necessary for starting the car
with the spare key or switching on radio readi-
ness.
Before using, insert the spare key into the
adapter.

Your BMW center can supply new remote con-
trols as additional units or as replacements in

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.
Personal Profile settings
For more information on specific settings, refer
to the specified pages.

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.
