Using alternative commands
There are often a number of commands to run a
function, e.g.:
Calling up functions immediately via
short commands
Short commands enable you to perform certain
functions immediately, irrespective of which
menu item is selected, refer to page243.
Example: selecting the track of a CD
1.If necessary, switch on entertainment audio
output.
2. Press the button on the steering wheel.

Notes
For information on voice control of the
telephone, refer to page 175.<
For voice commands, bear in mind the follow-
ing:
> Do not use the voice activation system to
initiate an Emergency Request. In stressful
situations, the voice and vocal pitch can
change. This can unne cessarily delay the
establishment of a telephone connection.
> Pronounce the commands and digits
smoothly and at normal volume, avoiding
excessive emphases and pauses. This also
applies when spelling out and saying a full
word during destination entry.
> When selecting a radio station, use the
standard pronunciation of the station name.
> For entries in the voice-activated phone
book, only use names in the language of the
voice activation system and no abbrevia-
tions.
> Keep the doors, windows and glass roof/
panorama glass roof closed to prevent
interference from outside noise.
> Avoid ambient noise in the vehicle while
speaking.

> When there is an interruption in the power
supply from the battery
The alarm system signals unauthorized entry
attempts for a short time by means of:
> An acoustic alarm
> Switching on the haza rd warning flashers
> Flashing the high beams
Arming and disarming
When you lock or unlock the vehicle, either with

system is armed or disarmed at the same time.
You can open the luggage compartment lid/tail-
gate even when the alarm system is armed, by
pressing the button on the remote control,
refer to page 28. The lid is locked and moni-
tored again as soon as you close it.

system begins to monitor the remaining
areas, and the indicator lamp flashes con-
tinuously after approx. 10 seconds. The
interior motion sensor and the tilt alarm
sensor are not activated.

Avoiding unintentional alarms
The tilt alarm sensor and interior motion sensor
may be switched off at the same time. This pre-
vents unintentional alarms, e.g. in the following
situations:

vehicle without needing to hold the remote con-
trol in your hand. All you need to do is wear the
remote control close to your body, e.g. in your
jacket pocket. The vehicle detects the corre-
sponding remote control within the immediate
vicinity or in the passenger compartment.
Convenient access supports the following
functions:
> Unlocking/locking the vehicle
> Unlocking the luggage compartment lid/
tailgate separately
> Engine starting
> Convenient closure
Functional requirement
>The vehicle or the luggage compartment
lid/tailgate can only be locked when the
vehicle detects that th e remote control cur-
rently in use is ou tside of the vehicle.
> The vehicle cannot be locked or unlocked
again until after approx. 2 seconds. >
The engine can only be started when the
vehicle detects that th e remote control cur-
rently in use is inside the vehicle.
Comparison to the standard remote
control
In general, there is no difference between using
convenient access or pressing the buttons on
the remote control to carry out the functions
mentioned above. You should therefore first
familiarize yourself with the instructions on
opening and closing starting on page 26.
Special features regarding the use of conve-
nient access are described below. If you notice a brief delay while opening or
closing windows or the glass roof/pan-
orama glass roof, the system is checking
whether a remote control is inside the vehicle.
Please repeat the opening or closing proce-
dure, if necessary. <
Unlocking
Grasp the handle on the driver's or front pas-
senger's door completely, arrow 1. This corre-
sponds to pressing the button.
Locking
Touch the surface, arrow 2, with your finger for
approx. 1 second. This corresponds to pressing
the button.
To preserve the battery, please make
sure that the ignition and all electrical
consumers are switched off before locking the
vehicle. <

Pinch protection system
If the glass roof encounters an obstruction dur-
ing closing from approx
imately the middle of
the opening in the roof, or during closing from
the raised position, the closing movement is
interrupted and the glass roof is opened again
slightly.
Despite the pinch protection system
check and clear the roof's travel path prior

fail to detect certain kind s of obstructions, such
as very thin objects, and the roof would con-
tinue closing. <

If there is an external danger, press the switch
forward past the resistance point. The roof
closes without pinch protection.
Following interruptions in electrical
power supply
After a power failure, ther e is a possibility that
the glass roof can only be raised. The system
must be initialized. BMW recommends having
this work done by your BMW center.
Closing manually*
In the event of an electrical malfunction, you can
move the glass roof manually:
1. Unclip the front of the cover of the interior
