Opening and closing: from outside
Using the remote control
The remote control makes opening and
locking the doors of your vehicle very
convenient. Furthermore it provides
three additional functions that can only
be executed via the remote control:
>
Switching on the interior lamps, refer
to page
With this function, you can also
search for your vehicle — when
parked in an underground garage, for
instance
>
Opening the liftgate, refer to page
The liftgate will open slightly, regard-
less of whether it was previously
locked or unlocked
>
.
In case of danger you can start the
alarm.
Whenever you unlock or lock the vehi-
cle, you simultaneously deactivate/acti-
vate the anti-theft system, disarm/arm
the alarm system and switch the interior
lamps on/off.
You can have an acknowledgment
signal set to confirm that the vehi-
cle is correctly locked.
<
Since passengers or animals
remaining in the vehicle 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.
<
If it is no longer possible to lock
the vehicle via the remote control,
the battery is discharged. Use this key
while driving for an extended period in
order to charge the battery. Protect the
remote control against unauthorized
use by handing over only the spare key,
for example when using hotel valet
parking, refer to page
.
In the event of a system malfunction,
please contact your BMW Sports Activ-
ity Vehicle center, which is also your
source for replacement keys.
