BMW M3 Convertible 2005 - Manual (Page 32)

32 Opening and closing – from the inside
You can use this button to control the
central locking system whenever the
doors are closed. The doors and lug-
gage compartment lid are unlocked or
locked only. The anti-theft system is not
activated.
If only the driver's door was
unlocked from the outside and
you press the button, then, with the
driver's door still open, the passenger's
door, the luggage compartment lid, the
fuel filler door and the glove compart-
ment will unlock, too.
If the driver's door is closed, it will be
locked.
<
If you desire, the central locking
system can be activated automati-
cally as soon as you begin to drive. You
may also have this adjusted so that it is
specific to keys.
<
To unlock and open the doors
1. Press the button for the central lock-
ing system
2. Pull the release handle above the
armrest on the door you wish to open
or
pull the release handle for any door
twice: to unlock and open the door.
To lock
> Either use the central locking button
to lock both doors at once
or
> press the individual door lock buttons
down. As an added design feature to
prevent the driver from being inad-
vertently locked out of the vehicle,
the driver's door lock button will not
engage as long as the door is open.
Since passengers or animals
remaining in the vehicle might be
able to lock the doors from the inside,
always take the vehicle's keys with you
so that the vehicle can be opened again
from the outside at any time.
