2005 BMW 645CI COUPE&CONVERTIBLE battery capacity

Opening and closing
34 If special circumstances should make it abso-
lutely necessary to operate the vehicle with the
luggage compartment lid open:
1.Coupe: close both windows and the glass
sunroof
*.
Convertible: with closed top, close all win-
dows.
2.Increase the air volume of the automatic
climate control to a high level, refer to
page95.
Luggage compartment
There are four lashing eyes on the inner corners
of the luggage compartment for securing lug-
gage nets
* or securing straps to fix luggage in
position.
Also refer to Securing cargo, page111.
Convertible: increasing luggage
compartment capacity
With the convertible top closed, you can
enlarge the luggage compartment capacity:
To do so, unfold the handle and press it down-
ward in the direction of travel, refer to arrow.
This folds the convertible top compartment
floor upward.
Before opening the convertible top, execute
this procedure in reverse order.
The convertible top cannot be opened if
the convertible top compartment floor is
folded up.<
Alarm system
The concept
The vehicle alarm system responds:
>To the opening of doors, the hood, or the
luggage compartment lid
>To movements in the vehicle interior: inte-
rior motion sensor, see below
>To changes in the vehicle's tilt if someone
attempts to steal the wheels or tow the
vehicle
>To interruptions in battery voltage
The system responds to unauthorized vehicle
entry and attempted theft by simultaneously
activating:
>An acoustic alarm, which lasts for a period
of approx. 30 seconds
>The hazard warning flashers for approx.
5minutes
>The high beams, which flash on and off in
the same rhythm
Arming and disarming alarm system
When you lock or unlock the vehicle, either with
the remote control or at the door lock, the alarm
system is armed or disarmed at the same time.
The system indicates that it has been correctly
armed by switching on the hazard warning
flashers for a single cycle and by emitting an
acoustic signal.
You can also open the luggage compartment lid
with the system armed using the button on
the remote control, refer to page30. When the
luggage compartment lid is closed, it is locked
again and monitored.
Switching off alarm
>Unlock the vehicle using the remote control,
refer to page29,
>or turn the ignition key to position 1, refer to
page54.
