Opening and closing – from the outside
With the remote control
The remote control makes opening and
locking the doors of your vehicle very
convenient. Furthermore, it provides
three additional functions which you
can only execute via the remote control:
> To switch on interior lamps:
With this function, you can also
"search for" your vehicle, when
parked in an underground garage, for
instance.
> To open the luggage compartment:
The luggage compartment lid/tail-
gate will open slightly, regardless of
whether it was previously locked or
unlocked.
> Panic Mode:
In case of danger, you can trigger an
alarm.
When the vehicle is unlocked, the anti-
theft system is simultaneously deacti-
vated, the alarm system is disarmed
and the interior lamps are switched on.
Locking the vehicle activates the anti-
theft and alarm systems and switches
the interior lamps off.
You can have an acknowledgment
message set to confirm that the
vehicle has been secured correctly (not
released at this time).<
Master keys
Keys with a transmitter for remote con-
trol are master keys. Refer to page 34.
Since children might be able to
lock the doors from the inside,
take the vehicle's keys with you so that
the vehicle can be opened again from
the outside at any time.<

Master keys that are used repeat-
edly are always ready for opera-
tion since the battery in the key is
charged automatically in the steering
lock as you drive.
If it is no longer possible to unlock the
vehicle via the remote control, the bat-
tery is discharged. Use this key while
driving for an extended period in order
to charge the battery. Refer also to
page 34.
To prevent unauthorized use of the re-
mote control, surrender only the door
and ignition key 3 or the spare key 2
(refer to page 34) when leaving the ve-
hicle for valet parking, for example.
In the event of a system malfunction,
please contact your BMW center. You
can also obtain replacement keys
there.<
