Indicator lamp displays

The indicator lamp below the interior rear-
view mirror flashes continuously: the sys-
tem is armed.

The indicator lamp flashes after the vehicle
is locked: doors, hood, or liftgate are not
properly closed. Even if you do not close the
alerted area, the system begins to monitor
the remaining areas, and the indicator lamp
flashes continuously after approx. 10 sec-
onds. However, the interior motion sensor
is not activated.

The indicator lamp goes out after unlocking:
no manipulation or attempted intrusions
have been detected in the period since the
system was armed.

The indicator lamp flashes for 10 seconds
after the vehicle is unlocked: an attempted
entry has been detected in the period since
the system was armed.

Following triggering of an alarm, the indicator
lamp will flash continuously.

Tilt alarm sensor

The tilt of the vehicle is monitored. The alarm
system reacts, e.g. in case of an attempted
wheel theft or towing.

Interior motion sensor

In order for the interior motion sensor to func-
tion properly, the windows and panorama glass
sunroof must be completely closed.

Avoiding unintentional alarms

The tilt alarm sensor and interior motion sensor
may be switched off at the same time. This pre-
vents unintentional alarms, e.g. in the following
situations:

In duplex garages

When transporting on car-carrying trains

When animals are to remain in the vehicle

Switching off tilt alarm sensor and
interior motion sensor

Press the

button on the remote con-

trol again as soon as the vehicle is locked.
The indicator lamp lights up briefly and then
flashes continuously. The tilt alarm sensor and
the interior motion sensor are switched off until
the next time the vehicle is unlocked and subse-
quently locked again.

If you wish, you can have the tilt alarm
sensor and interior motion sensor perma-

nently switched off. You can have this setting
made at your BMW Sports Activity Vehicle
Center.
