activation of a door lock or of the lug-
gage compartment lock with a key
unlocks or locks the following:

d BMW Convertible: the glove com-
partment.
The double-lock system is engaged at
the same time. Both the door locks and
release handles remain locked.
aNever use the keys or the remote
control

it would then be impossible to unlock it
from inside.c

dows and sliding/tilt sunroof: after clos-
ing the doors, hold the key in the lock
position to close the windows and slid-
ing/tilt sunroof. The windows/sunroof
stop moving immediately when you
release the key. To be able to keep the
closing system in view, convenience
closing can only be activated via the
driver's door lock for safety reasons,
even on vehicles with remote control.

locked to allow for its use.

the inside by pulling on one of the front
door handles.c

vehicle
