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
two additional functions that can only
be executed by means of the remote
control:

Switch on the interior lamps, refer to
page

With this function, you can also
"search for" your vehicle – when
parked in an underground garage, for
instance.

Open the luggage compartment,
refer to page

The luggage compartment lid will
open slightly, no matter whether it
has been locked or unlocked.

The anti-theft system is also deacti-
vated simultaneously when you unlock
the vehicle, the alarm system is
disarmed, and the interior lamps are
turned on. When you lock the vehicle,
the systems are activated and armed,
and the lamps go off.

You can have a confirmation
message set to inform you that the

vehicle has been properly locked.

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

reason, always take the vehicle 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 transmitter
is charged automatically in the steering
lock as you drive.
If it is no longer possible to unlock the
vehicle via the remote control, the
battery 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 or the spare key (refer
to page

) when leaving the vehicle for

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