BMW 325XI - Manual (Page 35)

35 Opening and closing – from the inside
You can use this button to operate the
central locking system when the front
doors are closed. With this button, only
the doors, the tailgate and rear window
are unlocked or locked. The anti-theft
system is not activated.
If only the driver's door was
unlocked from the outside and
you press the button, then, with the
driver's door still open, the passenger-
side door, the tailgate and the fuel filler
door will unlock, too.
If the driver's door is closed, it will be
locked.
<
If you desire, the central locking
system can be activated automati-
cally as soon as you begin to drive. This
can be adjusted to be key-specific.
<
To unlock and open the doors
1. Press the button for the central lock-
ing system
2. Pull the release handle above the
armrest on the door you wish to open
or
pull the release handle for any door
twice: to unlock and open the door.
To lock
> Either use the central locking button
to lock all doors at once or
> press the individual door lock buttons
down. To prevent the driver from
being inadvertently locked out of the
vehicle, the driver's door lock button
will not engage as long as the door is
open.
Persons or animals inside the
vehicle may be able to lock the
doors from the inside. For this reason,
always take the vehicle's keys with you
so that you can open the vehicle again
from the outside at any time.
<
Tailgate
To open from the outside
To avoid damage, check to ensure
that you have adequate clearance
before opening the tailgate. <
Press the button in the handle recess:
the tailgate opens slightly.
The cargo area is illuminated when the
tailgate is open.
