Car Memory, Key Memory 
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, 
undimmed mode whenever the trans-
mission is placed in reverse gear 
(selector lever in "Reverse"). 
For proper functioning of the mirror, be 
sure that the two photocells are unob-
structed and clean. One of the photo-
cells (arrow) is positioned in the mirror's 
glass, while the other is slightly offset 
on the opposite side of the mirror.
For an explanation of the electro-
chromic technology used in this mirror,

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 
included several user-defined func-
tions in the vehicle's design. Your BMW 
center 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 
the individual user by means of a data 
exchange with the key, and makes 
463de029
adjustments accordingly.
So that you can distinguish among the 
different keys, colored decals are 
supplied along with the keys.
What the system can do
Your authorized BMW center can 
provide you with details on the capabili-
ties of the Car Memory and Key 
Memory systems. A few examples 
follow below:
Examples for Car Memory:
>
Various signals used as acknowl-
edgement when locking or unlocking 
your vehicle.
>
Deactivating/activating the Follow-
Me-Home lamps function.
>
Activating/deactivating daytime 
running lamps
*
.
Examples for Key Memory:
>
Automatically setting the driver's 
power seat.
>
Locking your vehicle after starting off.
When unlocking your vehicle, first 
unlock the driver's door, then the rest of 
the vehicle. 
You will see this symbol through-
out the Owner's Manual. It is to 
remind you at appropriate places of the 
settings that are available to you.
