Interior rearview mirror with 
automatic dimming feature
*
By responding to the effects of ambient 
light and the glare from following traffic, 
this mirror automatically dims through 
an infinitely-variable range.
The mirror switches to its clear, un-
dimmed mode whenever the transmis-
sion is placed in reverse gear (selector 
lever in "Reverse"). 
To ensure that the mirror continues to 
operate properly, keep the two photo-
cells clean and unobstructed. One pho-
tocell (arrow) is in the mirror glass, while 
the other is offset somewhat on the 
other side of the mirror.
For an explanation of the electrochro-
mic technology used in this mirror, refer

How the system functions
You have probably frequently wished 
that you could configure individual 
functions of your vehicle 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 BMW cen-
ter can make these settings for you in 
accordance with your wishes. 
There are settings related to the vehicle 
("Car Memory") and settings related to 
individuals ("Key Memory"). You can 
have up to four different basic settings 
adjusted for four 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 
463de029
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 BMW center can provide you with 
details on the capabilities of the Car 
Memory and Key Memory systems. 
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.

matic adjustment of the driver's power

ory for the individual driver when the 
vehicle is unlocked.
