Overview
Opening and closing – from the outside
Using the remote control
The remote control gives you an excep-
tionally convenient method for
unlocking and locking your vehicle.
Furthermore, it provides two additional
functions that only the remote control
can execute:
> Switching on the interior lamps, refer
to page
38 .
With this function, you can also
"search for" your car – when parked
in an underground garage, for
instance.
> Opening the rear window, refer to
page
39 .
The rear window will open slightly,
regardless of whether it was previ-
ously locked or unlocked.
When you unlock the vehicle, the anti-
theft system is deactivated, the alarm
system is disarmed, and the interior
lamps are turned on. When you lock the
vehicle, the systems are activated and
armed, and the lamps go off.
You can have a signal set as an
acknowledgment message that
the vehicle is closed correctly. <
Master keys
Keys with remote control are master
keys. Refer to page
32 .
Children might be able to lock the
doors from the inside. For this
reason, always 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
battery is discharged. Use this key while
driving for an extended period in order
to recharge the battery. Refer also to
page
32 .
To prevent unauthorized use of the
remote control, surrender only the door
and ignition key or the spare key (refer
to page
32 ) when leaving the vehicle for
valet parking, for example.
In the event of a system malfunction,
please contact your BMW center. You
can also obtain replacement keys
there.
