The key set
1 Master keys with remote control
Each key is powered by an extended-life
battery that is charged automatically in the
ignition lock as you drive. For this reason,
use every master key at least twice a year to
keep its battery charged. Depending on
which master key is recognized when the
vehicle is unlocked, different settings are
called up and carried out in the vehicle, refer
to Key Memory on page 31.
2 Spare key
For storage in a safe place, e.g. in your wal-
let.
This key is not intended for constant use.
New keys
You can obtain new keys, whether as additional
keys or replacement keys, at your BMW center.
Central locking system
The concept
The central locking system is ready for opera-
tion whenever the driver's door is closed. The
system simultaneously engages and releases
the locks on the
> doors
> luggage compartment lid
> fuel filler door
> storage compartment between the back-
rests
> opened manual convertible top.
The central locking system can be operated
> from outside using the remote control or via
the driver's door lock
> from inside via the central locking system
button.
If it is operated from inside, the fuel filler door
will not be locked. Refer to page 18.
The anti-theft system is automatically activated
whenever you activate the central locking sys-
tem from outside the vehicle. It prevents the
doors from being unlocked with the lock but-
tons or release handles. The alarm system is
also armed.
In the event of a sufficiently severe accident, the
central locking system unlocks automatically. In
addition, the hazard warning flashers and inte-
rior lamps come on.
Opening and closing:
from outside
With the remote control
Whenever you unlock or lock the vehicle, you
simultaneously deactivate/activate the anti-
theft system, disarm/arm the alarm system and
switch the interior lamps on/off.
You will find more information about the alarm
system on page 25.
Since persons or animals in the vehicle
could lock the doors from the inside,
always take the vehicle keys with you so that
the vehicle can be opened again from the out-
side at any time.<
To unlock
Press the button.
