Vehicle equipment
In this chapter, all pr oduction, country, and
optional equipment that is offered in the model
range is described. For this reason, descrip-
tions will be given of some equipment that may
not be available in a vehi cle, for example due to
the special options or national-market version
selected. This also app lies to safety related
functions and systems.
Remote control
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 each remote control at least twice a
year for longer road trips in order to maintain the
batteries' charge status. In cars with Comfort
Access, the remote control contains a replace-
able battery, refer to page 41.
The settings called up and implemented when
the car is unlocked de pend on which remote
control is used to unlock the car, refer to
Personal Profile, next column.
In addition, informatio n about service require-
ments is stored in the remote control, refer to
Service data in the remote control, page 260.
Integrated key
Press button1 to release the key.
The integrated key fits the following locks:
> Glove compartment, refer to page 124
> Driver's door, refer to page 36
New remote controls
Your BMW center can supply new remote con-
trols with integrated keys as additional units or
as replacements in the event of loss.
Personal Profile
The concept
You can set many of your BMW's functions to
suit your personal needs and preferences.
Without any action on yo ur 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
settings stored for it are called up and
implemented.
This means that your pe rsonal settings will be
activated for you, even if in the meantime your
car was used by someone else with another
remote control and the corresponding settings.
The individual settings are stored for a maxi-
mum of four remote cont rols. They are stored
for two remote controls if Comfort Access is in
use.

cally. In addition, the hazard warning flashers
and interior lamps come on.
