Indicator and warning lamps

The concept

Indicator and warning lamps can light up in var-
ious combinations and colors in both the indica-
tor area

1 and the display 2.

Some lamps are checked for proper functioning
and thus come on briefly when the engine is
started or the ignition is switched on.

What to do in case of a malfunction

A list of all indicator and warning lamps, as well
as notes on possible causes of malfunctions
and on how to respond, can be found starting
on page

ment

Remote control with integrated key

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 the remote control at least twice a
year in order to keep the batteries charged. In
cars equipped with convenient access

*

, the

remote control contains a replaceable battery,
refer to page

27

.

The settings called up and implemented when
the car is unlocked depend on which remote
control is used to unlock the car, refer to Per-
sonal Profile,
page

19

.

In addition, information about service require-
ments is stored in the remote control, refer to
Service data in the remote control, page

123

.

Integrated key

Press button

1 to release the key.

The integrated key fits the following locks:

>

Glove compartment, refer to page

89

>

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.

Spare key

Spare key for storage in a safe place, such as in
your wallet. This key is not intended for regular
use.

Personal Profile

The concept

You can set many of your BMW's functions to
suit your personal needs and preferences.
Without any action on your 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 set-
tings stored for it are called up and imple-
mented.
This means that your personal settings are
active when you return to your BMW, even if the
car was used in the meantime by someone else
with a remote control of their own and the set-
tings were changed accordingly.
You can configure a maximum of three remote
controls for three different people. The prereq-
uisite for this is that each person has his or her
own remote control.

same time. It prevents the doors from being
unlocked using the lock buttons or door han-
dles. The interior lamp and the courtesy lamps

*

Arming and disarming

When you lock or unlock the vehicle, either with
the remote control or at the door lock, the alarm
system is armed or disarmed at the same time.
Even when the alarm system is armed, you can
open the luggage compartment lid by means of
the

button on the remote control, refer to

page

21

. When you subsequently close the lug-

gage compartment lid, it is again locked and
monitored.

Indicator lamp displays

>

The indicator lamp under the inside rear-
view mirror flashes continuously: the sys-
tem is armed.

>

The indicator lamp flashes after locking:
doors, hood or luggage compartment lid are
not properly closed. Even if you do not close
the alerted area, the system begins to mon-
itor the remaining areas, and the indicator

lamp flashes continuously after approx. 10
seconds. However, the interior motion sen-
sor is not activated.

>

The indicator lamp goes out after unlocking:
your vehicle has not been disturbed while
you were away.

>

If the indicator lamp flashes after unlocking
until the remote control is inserted in the
ignition, but for no longer than approx.
5 minutes: your vehicle has been disturbed
while you were away.

Tilt alarm sensor

The tilt of the vehicle is monitored. The alarm
system reacts, e.g. to attempts to steal a wheel
or tow the vehicle.

Interior motion sensor

In order for the interior motion sensor to func-
tion properly, the windows and glass sunroof
must be completely closed.

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:

>

In duplex garages

>

When transporting on car-carrying trains

>

When animals are to remain in the vehicle

Switching off tilt alarm sensor and

interior motion sensor

Press the

button on the remote control

twice in a row.
The indicator lamp comes on for approx. two
seconds, then begins to flash steadily. The tilt
alarm sensor and the interior motion sensor are
switched off until the next time the vehicle is
unlocked and subsequently locked again.

Convenient access*

Convenient access enables you to enter your
vehicle without needing to hold the remote con-

Opening and closing

26

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 automatically
detects the corresponding remote control
within the immediate vicinity or in the passen-
ger compartment.
Convenient access supports the following
functions:

>

Unlocking/locking the vehicle

>

Unlocking the luggage compartment lid
separately

>

Engine starting

>

Convenient closure

Functional requirement

>

The vehicle or the luggage compartment lid
can only be locked when the vehicle detects
that the remote control currently in use is
outside 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 the remote control cur-
rently in use is inside the vehicle.
