the luggage compartment lid and discon-
nects it from the central locking system.
If you then lock the storage compartment
in the center armrest before handing over

Opening separately.
Opening from inside
You can use this button to open the lug-
gage compartment lid when the vehicle is
stationary. This is not possible, if the lug-
gage compartment lid has been locked
separately.
Closing
A recess has been incorporated into the
inside trim on the luggage compartment lid
to make it easier to pull down.
Comfort Access*
If a remote control is detected in the
luggage compartment after the lug-
gage compartment lid has been closed, the
luggage compartment lid opens automati-

merely press it down gently. The closing
process will then be carried out automati-
cally.
To avoid personal injury, always

pletely closed. Otherwise, exhaust fumes
could penetrate the interior of the vehicle.<
If special circumstances should make it
absolutely necessary to operate the vehicle
with the luggage compartment lid open:
>Close all windows and the glass roof
>Adjust the automatic climate control's
blower to supply a high rate of airflow,
refer to page105.

detected in the period since the system
was armed
>If the indicator lamp flashes after you
unlock the vehicle before the remote
control 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.

Tilt alarm sensor and interior motion
sensor
Tilt alarm sensor
The tilt of the vehicle is monitored. The
alarm system reacts, e.g. in case of an
attempted wheel theft or towing.
Interior motion sensor
In order for the interior motion sensor to
function properly, the windows and glass
roof must be completely closed.
Avoiding unintentional alarms
The tilt alarm sensor and interior motion
sensor may be switched off at the same
time. This prevents unintentional alarms,
e.g. in the following situations:
>In duplex garages
>When transporting on car-carrying
trains
>When animals are to remain in the
vehicle.
Switching off tilt alarm sensor and
interior motion sensor
Press button 2on the remote
control twice consecutively.
The indicator lamp lights up briefly and then
flashes continuously. The tilt alarm sensor
and the interior motion sensor are switched
off up to the next unlocking and locking
actions. If you wish, the tilt alarm sensor and
interior motion sensor will be perma-
nently deactivated. Please contact your
BMW center for assistance.<
Windows
Opening and closing windows
From radio mode on:
>Press the switch up to the resistance
point:
The window continues to move down-
ward as long as you continue to hold
the switch
>Briefly press the switch beyond the
resistance point:
The window moves downward auto-
matically. Briefly press the switch again
to stop the opening movement.
You can close the windows in the same
manner by pulling the switch.
After switching off ignition
You can still operate the power windows:
>For approx. 15 minutes with the remote
control in the radio mode
>For approx. 1 minute in position 0 or
with the remote control disengaged.
To open, press the switch beyond the
resistance point.
When leaving the vehicle parked,
remove the remote control from the
ignition lock and close the doors; this pre-
caution prevents children from operating
the power windows and injuring them-
selves etc.<

Opening and closing
44 For information on using the convenience
operation at the door lock or with the
remote control, refer to page36 or38.
Anti-trapping mechanism
If the force rises beyond a predefined
threshold during closing, the system will
stop moving the window prior to lowering it
slightly.
Despite the anti-trapping mechanism
you should inspect the window's
travel path prior to closing it, as the safety
system might fail to detect certain kinds of
obstructions, such as very thin objects, and
the window would continue closing.
The protection provided by the anti-trap-
ping mechanism is limited when the switch
is pulled beyond the resistance point and
held. Under these conditions the window
will respond to forces beyond a defined
threshold by only opening several millime-
ters.
If you again pull the switch beyond the
resistance point and hold it in position
within a period of roughly 4 seconds, this
anti-trapping mechanism will be deacti-
vated.<
When you close the windows they will
slow down as they approach the end
of their travel; this is to allow the anti-trap-
ping mechanism to respond more precisely
to any obstructions encountered in this crit-
ical range.<
Safety switch
With the safety switch, you can prevent the
rear windows from being opened or closed
via the switches in the rear passenger area,
by children, for example. The same applies
to adjusting the electric rear seats, refer to page48 and the electric rear head
restraints, refer to page50, as well as to
the operation of the roller sun blinds from
the rear, refer to page113. The indicator
lamp lights up when this safety feature is
activated.
Press the safety switch when children
ride in the rear, as otherwise
unchecked closing of the windows could
lead to injuries.<
So that you can deactivate the func-
tion again, the remote control must be
i n s e r t e d i n t h e i g n i t i o n l o c k o r , w i t h C o m f o r t
Access, the radio mode must be switched
on.<
After installing accessories
After installing any accessory – such as a
clamp-on antenna for a portable phone –
within the window's travel range, you will
need to have the system reinitialized for
use under the new conditions. BMW rec-
ommends having this work carried out by
your BMW center.

backward adjustment of the seat to
ensure that the safety belt still fits firmly
against your body. If you do not do this, the
protection provided by the safety belt may
be reduced.<
