How the system functions

You have probably frequently wished
that you could configure individual
functions of your vehicles to reflect your
own personal requirements. In engi-
neering your vehicle, BMW has in-
cluded several user-defined functions
in the vehicle's design. Your authorized
BMW center can make these settings
for you.

There are settings related to the vehicle
("Car Memory") and settings related to
individuals ("Key Memory"). You can
have two different basic settings ad-
justed for two different persons. The
only requirement is that each person
uses his or her own remote control key.

When your vehicle is unlocked with the
remote control, the vehicle recognizes
the individual user by means of a data
exchange with the key, and makes ad-
justments accordingly.

In order for you to distinguish between
different keys, colored decals are sup-
plied together with the keys.

What the system can do

Your authorized BMW center can pro-
vide you with details on the capabilities
of the Car Memory and Key Memory
systems.

Memory functions are available for

> driver's seat
> steering wheel
> exterior mirrors
> automatic climate control.

You will see this symbol through-
out the Owner's Manual. It is to re-

mind you at appropriate places of the
settings that are available to you.

An example of Key Memory is the auto-
matic adjustment of the power driver's
seat with stored settings for the individ-
ual person when the vehicle is un-
locked.
