in the same rhythm.

Arming and disarming the alarm
system

When the vehicle is locked or unlocked
with the key or the remote control, the
alarm system is also simultaneously armed
or disarmed.

If the alarm system has been properly
armed, the hazard warning flashers light up
once.

You can have different acknowledg-
ment signals set to confirm arming

and disarming.

You can also open the tailgate with the sys-
tem armed using the

button on the

remote control, refer to page

. When you

close the tailgate, the system is rearmed.

Switching off the alarm

Unlock the vehicle using the remote
control, refer to page

Turn the ignition key to position 1.

Indicator lamp displays

The indicator lamp below the interior
rearview mirror flashes continuously:
the system is armed

The indicator lamp flashes during arm-
ing: door(s), the hood or tailgate are not
completely closed. Even if you do not
close the alerted area, the system
begins to monitor the remaining areas,
and the indicator lamp flashes continu-
ously after 10 seconds. However, the
interior motion sensor is not activated

If the indicator lamp goes out when the
system is disarmed: no manipulation or
attempted intrusions have been
detected in the period since the system
was armed

If the indicator lamp flashes for 10 sec-
onds after the system is disarmed: an
attempted entry has been detected in
the period since the system was armed.

Following triggering of an alarm, the indica-
tor lamp will flash continuously.

Avoiding unintentional alarms

The tilt alarm sensor and interior motion
sensor may be switched off at the same
time. You can do this to prevent a false
alarm from being triggered in garages with
elevator ramps, for instance, or when the
vehicle is transported by trailer or train:

Lock twice:

Press the

button on the remote

control twice consecutively

Lock using the door lock twice.

The indicator lamp lights up briefly and
then flashes continuously. The tilt alarm
sensor and the interior motion sensor are
deactivated as long as the system is
armed.

If you wish, the tilt alarm sensor and
interior motion sensor are perma-

nently switched off. You can have this set
at your BMW Sports Activity Vehicle Cen-
ter.

Interior motion sensor

In order for the interior motion sensor to
function properly, the windows and pan-
orama glass roof must be completely
closed.

However, be sure to switch off the interior
motion sensor – refer to Avoiding uninten-
tional alarms – when you

leave children or animals in the vehicle

the windows or panorama glass roof
are to remain open.

The tilt alarm sensor and interior
motion sensor are switched off inad-
