Central locking system
The concept
The central locking system is ready for
operation whenever the driver's door is
closed. This simultaneously engages and
releases the locks on the following:
> Doors
> Luggage compartment lid
> Fuel filler door.
The central locking system can be oper-
ated from the outside
> via the remote control
> via the driver's door lock
and from inside via the button for the
central locking system.
When the system is locked from inside, the
fuel filler door remains unlocked. Refer to
page 37.
The anti-theft system is automatically acti-
vated whenever you activate the central
locking system from outside the vehicle.
The alarm system is armed/disarmed at the
same time.
In the event of an accident, the central
locking system unlocks automatically – only
those doors which were not locked sepa-
rately with the safety lock buttons, refer to
page 38. In addition, the hazard warning
flashers and interior lamps come on.
Opening and closing – from
outside
Using the remote control
When you engage/release the vehicle's
locks, you simultaneously activate/deacti-
vate the anti-theft system, arm/disarm the
alarm system
and switch the interior lamps
on/off.
In addition, the remote control offers you
another function:
> Panic mode
In case of danger, you can trigger an
alarm.
You can have various confirmation
signals programmed into the system
to verify that the vehicle has been locked
securely.<
Remote control
1 To unlock, convenience opening mode
and alarm system
2 To lock and secure, switch off tilt alarm
sensor and interior motion sensor,
switch on interior lamps and door-
mounted proximity lamps
3 To open the luggage compartment lid
4 To switch on interior lamps, activate
panic mode
Because any persons or animals left
unattended in a parked vehicle could
lock the doors from the inside, you should
always keep the remote control unit with
you; this precaution ensures that you will
remain able to unlock the vehicle from the
outside at all times.<
When it is no longer possible to lock
the vehicle via the remote control, the
battery is discharged. Use this remote con-
trol unit during an extended drive; this will
recharge the battery, refer to page 34.
In the event of a system malfunction,
please contact your BMW center, which is
also your source for replacement keys.<
