2013 BMW 535I XDRIVE GRAN TURISMO key

2.Move foot in the direction of travel under‐
neath the bumper and immediately back.
The tailgate opens, regardless of whether it was
previously locked or unlocked.
Preventing inadvertent opening
In situations where the tailgate should not
be opened with no-touch activation, ensure that
the remote control is located beyond the range
of the sensor, at least 5 ft/1.50 m from the rear
of the car.
Otherwise, the tailgate may be opened inadver‐
tently, for example by an unintentional or misin‐
terpreted movement of the foot.◀
Malfunction
Comfort Access may not function properly if it
experiences interference from external sources
such as mobile phones, metal objects, overhead
power lines, transmission towers, etc.
In this case, open or close the vehicle using the
buttons on the remote control or use the
integrated key in the door lock.
If there is a malfunction, open the tailgate with
the remote control button or with the button on
the tailgate.
Alarm system
The concept
The vehicle alarm system responds to:
▷Opening of a door, the hood or the tailgate.▷Movements in the vehicle.▷Changes in the vehicle tilt, e.g., during at‐
tempts to steal a wheel or when towing the
car.▷Interruptions in battery voltage.
The alarm system briefly indicates tampering:
▷By sounding an acoustic alarm.▷By switching on the hazard warning system.▷By flashing the high beams.
Arming and disarming the alarm
system
General information
When you lock or unlock the vehicle, either with
the remote control, Comfort Access or at the
door lock the alarm system is armed or disarmed
at the same time.
Door lock and armed alarm system
Unlocking via the door lock will trigger the alarm
on some country-specific versions.
In order to terminate this alarm, unlock vehicle
with the remote control or switch on the ignition,
if necessary, by emergency detection of the re‐
mote control.
Tailgate and armed alarm system
The tailgate can be opened even when the alarm
system is armed.
▷Press the button on the remote
control for approx. 1 second.
The large tailgate opens slightly.
With Comfort Access, the tailgate opens with
no-touch activation, refer to page 42.
Note the opening height of the large tail‐
gate
The tailgate pivots back and up when it opens.
Ensure that there is sufficient clearance when
the large tailgate opens; otherwise, damage may
result.◀
