To prevent the driver from being inadvertently
locked out of the vehicle, the lock button on the
driver's door automatically extends again after a
brief period if the door remains open.
Persons or animals left unattended in a
parked vehicle can lock the doors from
the inside. For this reason, bring the remote
control with you whenever you leave the vehicle
so that you will always be able to unlock the
vehicle from outside.<
Doors
Automatic soft closing*
Apply gentle pressure to the door to close it.
The closing process will then be carried out
automatically.
To avoid injuries, make sure that the
door's travel path is completely free and
clear before closing.<

Alarm system
The concept
The vehicle alarm system responds to:
>opening of a door, the hood or the luggage
compartment lid
>movement in the vehicle interior: interior
motion sensor, refer to page38
>changes in the vehicle's tilt if someone
attempts to steal the wheels or tow the
vehicle
>interruptions in battery voltage
The alarm system briefly indicates unautho-
rized tampering:
>with an acoustic alarm
>by switching on
the hazard warning flashers
>by flashing the high beams
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.
When the alarm system is armed, you can also
open the luggage compartment lid with the button on the remote control, refer to
page33. When the luggage compartment lid is
closed, it is relocked and monitored again.
Unlocking via the door lock will trigger the
alarm on some national-market versions.
Pressing the 'Panic mode' button for a longer
period also triggers the alarm, refer to
page33.<
Switching off alarm
>Unlock the vehicle using the remote control,
refer to page32.
>Insert the remote control into the ignition
lock.
Indicator lamp displays
>The indicator lamp below the interior rear-
view mirror flashes continuously: the sys-
tem is armed.
>The indicator lamp flashes after the vehicle
is locked: the doors or luggage compart-
ment lid are not properly closed. Even if you
do not close the door involved, the system
begins to monitor the remaining areas, and
the indicator lamp flashes continuously
after 10 seconds. However, the interior
motion sensor is not activated.
>After the vehicle is unlocked, the indicator
lamp goes out: no manipulation or
attempted intrusions have been detected in
the period since the system was armed.
>After the vehicle is unlocked, the indicator
lamp flashes until the remote control is
inserted into 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.

Press the safety switch when children
ride in the rear; otherwise, unsupervised
closing of the windows could lead to injuries.<
In order to deactivate the function again,
you must insert the remote control into
the ignition lock or, with Comfort Access, you

Glass sunroof, electric*
To prevent bodily injuries, watch the
glass sunroof as it closes.
Always take along the remote control when you
leave the vehicle; otherwise, children could, for
example, operate the roof and injure them-
selves.<
Raising
Press the switch.
The closed glass sunroof is raised and the slid-
ing visor opens slightly.
Do not use force to close the sliding visor
when the sunroof is in its raised position,
as this could damage the mechanism.<
Opening, closing
>Slide switch back to the resistance point.
The glass sunroof and the sliding visor con-
tinue to open together for as long as you
maintain pressure on the switch.
>Press the switch back briefly past the resis-
tance point.
The glass sunroof and the sliding visor open
automatically. Pressing the switch again
briefly stops the operation.Close the glass sunroof in the same way by slid-
ing the switch toward the front. The sliding visor
remains open and can be closed by hand.
For convenience operation using the remote
key or the door lock, refer to page32 or34.
Automatic opening and closing
Press the switch briefly beyond the resistance
point.
The following movements are also automated:
>Press the switch when the roof is open: the
sunroof is completely raised.
>With the sunroof raised, press the switch
briefly in the opening direction: the sunroof
is opened completely.
Pressing the switch again briefly stops the
operation.
Pinch protection system
If the glass sunroof meets with resistance dur-
ing closing after approximately the middle of the
roof opening or when closing from the raised
position, then the closing operation is inter-
rupted and the glass sunroof opens again
somewhat.
Despite the presence of the pinch protec-
tion system, inspect the sunroof's travel
path prior to closing it, as the safety system
might fail to detect certain kinds of obstruc-
tions, such as very thin objects, and the sunroof
would continue closing.<
Closing without the pinch protection
system
If there is danger outside, push the switch
beyond the resistance point and hold it there.
The roof closes without the pinch protection
system.
Following interruptions in electrical
power supply
After a power supply interruption, it may only
be possible to raise the sunroof. If this has
occurred, have the system reinitialized. BMW
recommends having this work carried out by
your BMW center.

Adjusting
Sitting safely
The ideal sitting position can make a vital con-
tribution to relaxed driving that is as fatigue-free
as possible. Together with the safety belts and
airbags, the sitting position plays an important
role in the event of an accident. To ensure that
the safety systems operate with optimized effi-
ciency, we strongly urge you to follow the
instructions contained in the section below.
For additional information on transporting chil-
dren safely, refer to page54.
Airbags
Always maintain an adequate distance
between yourself and the airbags. Always
hold the steering wheel by its rim with hands at
the 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock positions to mini-
mize the risk of injuries to your hands and arms
in the event of airbag deployment. No one and
nothing is to come between the airbags and the
seat occupant.
Do not use the cover of the front airbag on the
front passenger side as a storage area. Make
sure that the front passenger is sitting correctly
and does not rest feet or legs on the dashboard;
otherwise, leg injuries can occur if the front air-
bag is triggered. Make sure that occupants do
not rest their head against the side or head air-
bag; otherwise, injuries can occur if the airbags
are triggered.<
Even if you follow all of the instructions, injuries
resulting from contact with airbags cannot be
entirely ruled out, depending on the circum-
stances. The ignition and inflation noise may
provoke a mild – usually temporary – hearing
loss in extremely sensitive individuals.
For airbag locations and additional information
on airbags, refer to page95.
Head restraint
A correctly adjusted head restraint reduces the
risk of injury to cervical vertebrae in the event of
an accident.Adjust the head restraint so that its center
is approx. at ear level. Otherwise, there is
increased danger of injury in the event of an
accident.<
Adjusting the head restraint, refer to page46.
Safety belt
Fasten safety belts on all occupied seats before
every trip. Although airbags enhance safety by
providing added protection, they are not a sub-
stitute for safety belts.
Your vehicle has five seats that are each
equipped with a safety belt.
Never allow more than one person to
wear a single safety belt. Never allow
infants or small children to ride on a passen-
ger's lap. Make sure that the belt lies low around
the hips in the lap area and does not press on
the abdomen. The safety belt must not lie
across the neck, rub on sharp edges, be routed
over solid or breakable objects or be pinched.
Wear the safety belt without twisting, snugly
across the lap and shoulders, as close to the
body as possible. Otherwise, the belt can slip
over the hips in the lap area in a frontal impact
and injure the abdomen. Avoid wearing clothing
that prevents the belt from fitting properly and
pull the shoulder belt periodically to readjust
the tension across your lap in order to avoid a
reduction in the retention effect of the safety
belt.<
For instructions on operating safety belts, refer
to page48.
Seats
Note before adjusting
Never attempt to adjust your seat while
operating the vehicle. The seat could
respond with unexpected movement and the
ensuing loss of vehicle control could lead to an
accident.
