Clothes hooks
Clothes hooks1 are located on the wind deflec-
tor panels in the rollover bars.
Do not hang heavy objects on the hooks.
If you do, they could endanger the pas-
sengers, for example during braking or evasive
maneuvers.<
Storage
For storage, e.g. to achieve a better view to the
rear when the convertible top is closed, there
are two brackets on the inside of the luggage
compartment lid.
Insert the wind deflector into the brackets.
Make sure that the wind deflector cannot
be damaged by objects in the luggage
compartment.<
Alarm system*
The concept
The vehicle alarm system responds:
>When a door, the hood or the luggage com-
partment lid is opened
>When attempts are made to start the vehi-
cle
>When there are movements in the vehicle
interior: interior motion sensor, refer to
page26
>To alterations in the vehicle tilt, e.g. as
would occur during attempts to steal the
wheels or tow the vehicle
>To interruption of battery voltage.
The alarm produced by the system in the event
of unauthorized vehicle entry and attempted
theft depends on the country version:
>Sounding of an acoustical alarm for
30 seconds
>Activation of the hazard warning flashers for
approx. five minutes.
Arming and disarming the alarm
system
When the vehicle is locked or unlocked either
with the remote control or at the driver's door
lock, the alarm system is simultaneously armed
or disarmed.
The hazard warning flashers blink once when
the alarm system has been properly armed.
You can have different acknowledgment
signals set to confirm arming and disarm-
ing.<
You can still open the luggage compartment
even when the system is armed by pressing the
button on the remote control, refer to
page17. When it is closed, the lid is once again
secured.
Manual operation of the luggage com-
partment lid triggers the alarm. Refer to
page18.<

In the engine compartment
Do not attempt to service your vehicle if
you do not have the required technical
background. If you are not familiar with the reg-
ulations to be observed, have your vehicle ser-
viced only by a BMW center or a workshop that
works according to BMW requirements with the
appropriately trained personnel. Work that is
improperly carried out could result in conse-
quential damage and pose safety hazards.<
Hood
To release
Pull the lever located under the left-hand side of
the instrument panel.
To open
1.Reach under the engine hood
2.Push the release handle up
3.Open the hood.
To close
Allow the hood to fall from a low height and
push on both sides so that it audibly engages.

by making sure that the travel path of the
hood is clear when it is closed.
If you notice while driving that the hood is not
completely closed, stop immediately and close
it securely.<
