If you initiate central locking from

inside, neither the fuel filler door, the

glove compartment, nor the cellular

phone holder are locked (refer to

page 36).

Turn the key in the driver's door once to

unlock the driver's door only; turning

the key a second time will unlock the

passenger door, the luggage compart-

ment lid, the fuel filler door, the glove

compartment, and the cellular phone

holder.

Manual operation

If you do set it from outside, the anti-

theft alarm is automatically activated as

well. This prevents the door handles

from unlocking the doors. The alarm

system is also activated or deactivated.

(in the event of electrical malfunction)

Turn the key to the extreme left or right

to unlock/lock the driver's door.

Refer to page 143 for operating the

passenger door.

If necessary, you can open the fuel filler

door by pressing the button inside the

vehicle; refer to page 25.

The central locking system unlocks

automatically in the event of an acci-

dent. In addition, the hazard warning

flashers and interior lamps come on.

Using the remote control

edly are always ready for opera-

tion since the battery in the key is

charged automatically in the steering

lock every time you drive.

convenience in using your vehicle's

three exclusive supplementary features:

If it is no longer possible to unlock the

vehicle via the remote control, the

battery is discharged. Use this key

while driving for an extended period in

order to charge the battery. Refer also

to page 30.

> Interior lamp activation, refer to

page 34.

With this function, you can also

"search for" your vehicle – if, for

example, it is parked in an under-

ground garage.

To prevent unauthorized use of the

remote control, surrender only the door

and ignition key 3 or the spare key 2

(refer to page 30) when leaving the

vehicle for valet parking, for example.

In the event of a system malfunction,

please contact your BMW center. You

can also obtain replacement keys

there.<

Master keys

Keys with remote control are master

keys. Refer to page 30.

> Panic mode, refer to page 35.

In case of danger, you can trigger an

alarm.

You can have different confirma-

tion signals programmed into the

system to verify that the vehicle has

been locked correctly.<

The anti-theft system is also deacti-

vated/activated simultaneously with the

unlocking or locking of the vehicle, and

the alarm system is disarmed/armed,

and the interior lamps are turned on/off.

Because passengers or animals

remaining in the vehicle could lock

the doors from the inside, you should

always remove the key and take it with

you to ensure that you remain able to

unlock the vehicle from the outside at

all times.<
