Vehicle Memory, Key Memory

How the system functions

You have probably frequently wished that you
could configure individual functions of your
vehicle to reflect your own personal require-
ments. In developing your vehicle, BMW has
incorporated a number of options for personal
adjustment. You can have these programmed
at your BMW Sports Activity Vehicle Center.
There are vehicle-related and person-related
adjustments: Vehicle Memory and Key Mem-
ory. You can configure up to four different basic
adjustments for four different persons. The only
requirement is that each person use his or her
own master key with remote control.
When your vehicle is unlocked with the remote
control, the vehicle recognizes the individual
user by means of a data exchange with the key,
and makes adjustments accordingly.
In order for you to distinguish between the mas-
ter keys with remote control, color-coded
decals are supplied together with the keys.

What the system can do

Ask your BMW Sports Activity Vehicle Center
about the possibilities of Vehicle Memory and
Key Memory.

You will see this symbol throughout the
Owner's Manual. It is to remind you at

appropriate places of the settings that are avail-
able to you.

Following configuration of memory func-
tions, vehicle operation may differ from

the description in the Owner's Manual. Should
you wish to sell your BMW some day, please
remember to have the memory functions reset
to the factory default settings.
