Overview

Opening and closing – from the outside

Using the remote control

The remote control makes opening and
locking the doors of your vehicle very
convenient. Furthermore, it provides
three additional functions that you can
only execute by means of the remote
control:

Switch on the interior lamps
With this function, you can also
"search for" your vehicle — when
parked in an underground garage, for
instance.

Open the liftgate
The liftgate will open slightly, regard-
less of whether it was previously
locked or unlocked.

Panic Mode
In case of danger, you can trigger an
alarm.

When the vehicle is unlocked, the anti-
theft protection is deactivated and the
alarm system is disarmed; when the
vehicle is locked, the systems are acti-
vated or armed.

The interior lamps are switched on
when the vehicle is unlocked.

You can have an acknowledgment
signal set to confirm that the vehi-

cle is correctly closed.

Master keys

Keys with remote control are master
keys. Refer to page

Children might be able to lock the
doors from the inside. For this rea-

son, always take the vehicle's keys with
you so that the vehicle can be opened
again from the outside at any time.

Master keys that are used repeat-
edly are always ready for opera-

tion since the battery in the key is
charged automatically in the steering
lock as you drive.
If it is no longer possible to lock the
vehicle via the remote control, the bat-
tery is discharged. Use this key while
driving for an extended period in order
to charge the battery. Refer also to
page

To prevent unauthorized use of the
remote control, surrender only the door
and ignition key 3 or the spare key 2
(refer to page

) when leaving the

vehicle for valet parking, for example.
In the event of a system malfunction,
please contact your authorized BMW
center. You can also obtain replace-
ment keys there.
