tion package. Information on this subject is
also provided on the Internet at:
bmwusa.com
>The mobile phone is ready to operate.

phone may need presetting: e.g. using the
following menu items:
>Bluetooth activated
>Connection must be allowed without
requiring further confirmation
>Reconnect
>Depending on the mobile phone model, the
setting energy saving mode can, for exam-
ple, result in vehicle failing to detect the
paired mobile phone.
>For pairing purposes, define any 4-16-digit
number as a Bluetooth passkey,
e. g. 25081107. A long and complex num-
ber offers the best protection against unau-
thorized access. This Bluetooth passkey is
no longer required after pairing is success-
ful.

Only pair the mobile phone with the vehi-
cle stopped, otherwise the passengers
