BMW x5 2000 Manual Do Utilizador

Keys

1 The master keys with remote control

determine the functions of the Key
Memory. Refer to page

There is an extended-life battery
in every master key which is

charged automatically in the steering
lock as you drive.
For this reason, if you have a master
key that is otherwise not used, use that
key approximately once every year
while driving for an extended period.
This will charge the battery. Refer also
to page

2 Spare key for storage in a safe place,

such as in your wallet. This key is not
intended for continuous use.

3 Door and ignition key

The lock for the glove compartment
cannot be operated with this key.
This is recommended for valet park-
ing, for instance.

Replacement keys

Replacement keys are available exclu-
sively through your authorized BMW
center. Since the keys belong to a se-
curity system, your BMW center is obli-
gated to ensure that a person request-
ing a key is authorized to do so (refer to
"Electronic vehicle immobilizer" on the
following page).

If possible, take all of the master
keys that belong to the vehicle

with you when you pick up your
replacement key.
Whenever you receive a new replace-
ment key, turn that key to position 2 in
the ignition lock once (ignition switched
on) and then back. This allows the elec-
tronic vehicle immobilizer to "learn" the
new key.
