ment
Remote control with integrated key
Each remote control contains a rechargeable
battery that is automatically recharged when it
is in the ignition lock while the car is being
driven. Use the remote control at least twice a
year in order to keep the batteries charged. In
cars equipped with convenient access
*, the
remote control contains a replaceable battery,
refer to page37.
The settings called up and implemented when
the car is unlocked depend on which remote
control is used to unlock the car, refer to Per-
sonal Profile, page29.
In addition, information about service require-
ments is stored in the remote control, refer to
Service data in the remote control, page203.
Integrated key
Press button1 to release the key.
The integrated key fits the following locks:
>Glove compartment, refer to page106
>Driver's door, refer to page32
>Luggage compartment lid, refer to page33

trols with integrated keys as additional units or
as replacements in the event of loss.
Spare key

your wallet. This key is not intended for regular

ness.

Personal Profile
The concept
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

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
Operating from outside
>Via the remote control
>Via the door lock
>In cars with convenient access
*, via the
handles on the driver's and front passen-
ger's doors

dles. The interior lamp and the courtesy lamps

trol. The alarm system
* is also armed or dis-
armed.

rior lamps come on.
