BMW X5 - Manual (Page 40)

38 n Alarm system Power windows
> The indicator lamp flashes for
10 seconds when the system is dis-
armed: an attempted entry has been
detected in the period since the sys-
tem was armed.
Following triggering of an alarm, the
indicator 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 the vehicle twice, i.e. arm the sys-
tem. Press button of the remote control
twice in succession or actuate the locks
twice with the key.
The indicator lamp lights up briefly and
then flashes continuously. The tilt alarm
sensor and the interior motion sensor
are switched off as long as the system
is armed.
Interior motion sensor
In order for the interior motion sensor to
function properly, the windows and
glass roof must be completely closed.
However, be sure to switch off the inte-
rior motion sensor – refer to the previ-
ous column – when
> you leave children or animals in the
vehicle
> the windows or glass roof are to
remain open.
Opening and closing windows
From ignition key position 1:
> Press the switch up to the resistance
point:
The window continues to move as
long as you continue to hold the
switch
> Press the switch beyond the resis-
tance point:
The window moves downward auto-
matically. Briefly press the switch
again to stop the opening movement.
You can close the windows in the same
manner by pulling the switch.
