1Master keys with remote control
Every master key with remote control con-
tains an extended-life battery as a power
supply, which is charged automatically in
the ignition lock as you drive. You should
use each master key at least twice a year in
order to maintain the charge condition.
Depending on which master key is detected
by the vehicle during unlocking, different
settings in the vehicle are requested and
executed, refer to Vehicle and Key Memory
on page30.
2Spare key
For storage in a safe place, such as in your
wallet.
This key does not fit in the lock of the glove
compartment. This is an advantage, e.g.
when valet parking at a hotel. The key is not
intended for constant use.
Replacement keys
Replacement and additional keys are available
from your BMW Sport Activity Vehicle Center.
Central locking system
The concept
The central locking system is ready for opera-
tion whenever the driver's door is closed. The
system engages or releases the locks on the
>doors
>tailgate
>fuel filler door
The central locking system can be operated
from the outside
>via the remote control
>via the driver's door lock
and from inside via the button for the central
locking system.
When the system is locked from inside, the fuel
filler door remains unlocked, refer to page18.
The anti-theft system is automatically activated
whenever you activate the central locking sys-
tem from outside the vehicle. This prevents the
doors from being unlocked via the lock buttons
or door handles. The alarm system is also
armed or disarmed.
In the event of a serious accident, the central
locking system unlocks automatically. In addi-
tion, the hazard warning flashers and interior
lamps switch on.
Opening and closing: from
outside
Using the remote control
When you engage/release the vehicle locks,
you also activate/deactivate the anti-theft sys-
tem, arm/disarm
the alarm system, and switch
the interior lamps on/off.
You can set an acoustic signal to remind
you if the ignition key is still in the ignition
lock after you open the driver's door.<
