1 The master keys with remote control
determine the functions of the Key
Memory. Refer to page
There is an extended-life battery
in every master key which is
charged automatically in the steering
lock as you drive.
For this reason, if you have a master
key that is otherwise not used, use that
key at least once a year while driving for
an extended period. This will charge the
battery. Refer also to page

Replacement keys
Replacement keys are available exclu-
sively through your BMW center. Since
the keys belong to a security system
(refer to "Electronic vehicle immobilizer"
on page
), your BMW center is obli-
gated to be sure that a person
requesting a key is authorized to do so.
If possible, take all of the master
keys that belong to the vehicle
with you when you pick up your
replacement key.
When you receive a new replacement
key, turn that key to position 2 in the
ignition lock once (ignition switched on)
and then back. This allows the elec-
tronic vehicle immobilizer to "learn" the
new key.
