Adapter for spare key
You will need the adapter to activate the ignition
and to start the vehicle with the spare key.
Take the adapter from the Onboard tool kit,
refer to page212.
Press lock button1, slide the cover open and
insert the spare key2 into the adapter. Close
the cover and insert the adapter into the ignition
lock.
Key Memory
The concept
You can set a number of functions of your BMW
individually according to your preferences. Key
Memory ensures that most of these settings are
stored for the remote control currently in use
without you having to do anything. When the
vehicle is unlocked, the corresponding remote
control is detected and the settings stored for it
are called up and carried out.
This means that your BMW will return to your
personal settings even if it has in the meantime
been driven by another person with his/her own
remote control and settings. The individual set-
tings are stored for a maximum of four remote
controls.

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

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
must switch into radio ready state.<
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
sliding visor opens slightly.
>An open glass sunroof automatically moves
into the raised position. The sliding visor
remains completely open.
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 past the resistance
point.
The glass sunroof and the sliding visor open automatically. Briefly press the switch again
to stop the opening movement.
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.
Automatic opening and closing
Press the switch beyond the resistance point.
The following movements are also automated:
>With the sunroof open, press the switch in
the raising direction: the sunroof is com-
pletely raised.
>With the sunroof raised, press the switch in
the opening direction: the sunroof is
opened completely.
Pressing the switch again 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 an external danger, 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 an interruption in the power supply, it may
only be possible to raise the sunroof. The sys-
tem must be initialized. BMW recommends
having this work carried out by your BMW cen-
ter.

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.
