Opening and closing – with the remote control

The principle

The remote control features two extra
functions in addition to the central lock-
ing system:
> Switch on interior light, see page

This function can help you locate
your car if you have parked in a large
underground garage, for example

> Open luggage compartment lid, see

page

Opens slightly regardless of whether
the lid was previously locked or
unlocked.

You can arrange for a signal to be
provided as confirmation that the

car has been locked correctly.

Master key with remote control

When the car is unlocked or locked, the
anti-theft system is activated/deacti-
vated, the alarm system is switched
off/on, and the interior light switched
on/off, accordingly.

Prevent unauthorised use of the
remote control, for example by

handing over only the spare key to hotel
staff.

For further details on the alarm system,
see page

The doors can be locked from the
inside by persons or animals in the

passenger compartment. Always take
the car keys with you so that the car
can be opened from the outside.

You can have an acoustic signal
set to sound as a reminder if you

open the driver's door without removing
the key from the ignition beforehand.

If the remote control is unable to
lock the car, this means that the

battery in the key is discharged. You
should use the master key in question
to drive the car on a lengthy trip in order
to recharge its battery.
Prevent unauthorised use of the remote
control, for example by handing over
only the spare key to hotel staff.
In the event of a malfunction, consult
BMW Service or a workshop employing
trained personnel and working to the
specifications issued by BMW. The
same source can also provide replace-
ment keys.
