Alarm system*

The concept

The vehicle alarm system responds:

When a door, the hood or the luggage com-
partment lid is opened

To movements inside the vehicle: Interior
motion sensor, refer to the information fur-
ther below

When the car's inclination changes, for
instance if an attempt is made to jack it up
and steal the wheels or to raise it prior to
towing away

When there is an interruption in the power
supply from the battery

The alarm system signals unauthorized entry
attempts for a short time by means of:

An acoustic alarm

Switching on the hazard warning flashers

Flashing the high beams

Arming and disarming

When you lock or unlock the vehicle, either with
the remote control or at the door lock, the alarm
system is armed or disarmed at the same time.
Even when the alarm system is armed, you can
open the luggage compartment lid by means of
the

button on the remote control, refer to

page

. When you subsequently close the lug-

gage compartment lid, it is again locked and
monitored.

Switching off an alarm

Unlock the car with the remote control, refer
to page

, or

insert the remote control all the way into the
ignition lock.

Indicator lamp displays

The indicator lamp under the inside rear-
view mirror flashes continuously: the sys-
tem is armed.

The indicator lamp flashes after locking:
doors, hood or luggage compartment lid are
not properly closed. Even if you do not close
the alerted area, the system begins to mon-
itor the remaining areas, and the indicator
lamp flashes continuously after approx. 10
seconds. However, the interior motion sen-
sor is not activated.

The indicator lamp goes out after unlocking:
your vehicle has not been disturbed while
you were away.

If the indicator lamp flashes after unlocking
until the remote control is inserted in the
ignition, but for no longer than approx.
5 minutes: your vehicle has been disturbed
while you were away.

Tilt alarm sensor

The tilt of the vehicle is monitored. The alarm
system reacts, e.g. to attempts to steal a wheel
or tow the vehicle.

Interior motion sensor

In order for the interior motion sensor to func-
tion properly, the windows and glass sunroof
must be completely closed.

Avoiding unintentional alarms

The tilt alarm sensor and interior motion sensor
may be switched off at the same time. This pre-
vents unintentional alarms, e.g. in the following
situations:

In duplex garages

When transporting on car-carrying trains

When animals are to remain in the vehicle

Switching off tilt alarm sensor and
interior motion sensor

Press the

button on the remote control

twice in a row.
The indicator lamp comes on for approx. two
seconds, then begins to flash steadily. The tilt
alarm sensor and the interior motion sensor are
switched off until the next time the vehicle is
unlocked and subsequently locked again.

Convenient access*

Convenient access enables you to enter your
vehicle without needing to hold the remote con-
trol in your hand. All you need to do is wear the
remote control close to your body, e.g. in your
jacket pocket. The vehicle automatically
detects the corresponding remote control
within the immediate vicinity or in the passen-
ger compartment.
Convenient access supports the following
functions:

Unlocking/locking the vehicle

Unlocking the luggage compartment lid
separately

Engine starting

Convenient closure

Functional requirement

The vehicle or the luggage compartment lid
can only be locked when the vehicle detects
that the remote control currently in use is
outside of the vehicle.

The vehicle cannot be locked or unlocked
again until after approx. 2 seconds.

The engine can only be started when the
vehicle detects that the remote control cur-
rently in use is inside the vehicle.

Special features in comparison to
conventional remote controls

In general, there is no difference between using
convenient access or pressing the buttons on
the remote control to carry out the functions
mentioned above. You should therefore first

Before driving a vehicle with automatic

transmission into a car wash

Insert remote control into ignition switch.

Depress the brake.

Move the selector lever to position N.

Switch off the engine.

The vehicle can roll.

Malfunction

Convenient access may malfunction due to
local radio waves. If this happens, open or close
the vehicle via the buttons on the remote con-
trol or using the integrated key. To start the
engine afterward, insert the remote control into
the ignition switch.

Warning lamps

The warning lamp in the instrument
cluster lights up when you attempt to
start the engine: the engine cannot

be started. The remote control is not inside the
vehicle or is malfunctioning. Take the remote
control with you inside the vehicle or have it
checked. If necessary, insert another remote
control into the ignition switch.

The warning lamp in the instrument
cluster lights up while the engine is
running: the remote control is no

longer inside the vehicle. After the engine is
switched off, the engine can only be restarted
within approx. 10 seconds.

The indicator lamp in the instrument
cluster comes on and a message
appears on the Control Display:

replace the battery in the remote control.

Replacing the battery

The remote control for convenient access con-
tains a battery that will need to be replaced from
time to time.

Take the integrated key out of the remote
control, refer to page

Remove the cover.

Insert the new battery with the plus side fac-
ing up.

Press the cover on to close.

Take the old battery to a battery collec-
tion point or to your BMW Center.

Windows

To prevent injuries, exercise care when
closing the windows and keep them in

your field of vision until they are shut.
Take the remote control with you when you
leave the car, otherwise children could operate
the electric windows and possibly injure them-
selves.

Opening, closing

Press the switch to the resistance point.
The window continues to open as long as
you keep the switch pressed.

Press the switch beyond the resistance
point.
The window opens automatically. Press the
switch again to stop the opening move-
ment.

You can close the windows in the same manner
by pulling the switch.
There are separate switches in the rear seat
armrests.

After switching off the ignition

When the remote control is removed or the igni-
tion is switched off, you can still operate the
windows for approx. 1 minute as long as no
door is opened.
For information on convenient operation via the
remote control or the door lock, refer to page

. For information on closing with conve-

nient access, refer to Locking on page

Take the remote control with you when
you leave the car, otherwise children

could operate the electric windows and possi-
bly injure themselves.

Anti-trapping mechanism

If the closing force exceeds a specific value as
an electric window closes, the closing action is
interrupted immediately and the window
reopens slightly.

Despite the anti-trapping mechanism
check and clear the window's travel path

prior to closing it, otherwise the safety system
might fail to detect certain kinds of obstruc-

Opening and closing

tions, such as thin objects, and the window
would continue closing.
Pulling the switch beyond the resistance point
and holding it limits the response of the anti-
trapping mechanism. In this case, if the closing
force exceeds a defined threshold, the window
will only open a few fractions of an inch/a few
millimeters.
If the switch is pulled past the resistance point
again within approx. 4 seconds, the anti-trap-
ping mechanism will be deactivated.

Safety switch

With the safety switch, you can prevent the rear
windows from being opened or closed via the
switches in the rear passenger area, by chil-
dren, for example. When the safety function is
switched on, the LED comes on.

Always press the safety switch when chil-
dren ride in the rear, otherwise

unchecked closing of the windows could lead to
injuries.

Accessories in a window area

If you install accessories within the power win-
dow movement range, e.g. a clip-on antenna for
your mobile phone, the system must be initial-
ized to teach it the new conditions. BMW rec-
ommends having this work done by your BMW
Center.

Glass sunroof*, electric

The glass sunroof is operational when the igni-
tion is switched on, refer to page

To prevent injuries, exercise care when
closing the glass sunroof and keep it in

your field of vision until it is shut.
Take the remote control with you when you
leave the car, otherwise children could operate
the sunroof and possibly injure themselves.

Raising

Press the switch.

The closed glass sunroof is raised and the
sliding visor is opened slightly.

When the glass sunroof is open, it automat-
ically travels into the raised position. The
sliding visor remains completely open.

Do not close the sliding visor forcibly with
the roof in the raised position, otherwise

this could damage the mechanism.

Opening, closing

Press the switch backwards to the resis-
tance point.
The glass sunroof and the sliding visor open
together as long as you hold the switch in
this position.

Press the switch backwards past the resis-
tance point.
The glass sunroof and the sliding visor open
automatically. Briefly press the switch again
to stop the opening movement.

You can close the glass sunroof in a similar
manner by pressing the switch forwards. The
sliding visor remains open and can be closed by
hand.
For information on convenient operation via the
remote control or door lock, refer to page

Anti-trapping mechanism

If the glass sunroof encounters an obstruction
during closing from approximately the middle of
the opening in the roof, or during closing from
the raised position, the closing movement is
interrupted and the glass sunroof is opened
again slightly.

Despite the anti-trapping mechanism
check and clear the sunroof's travel path

prior to closing it, otherwise the safety system
might fail to detect certain kinds of obstruc-
tions, such as very thin objects, and the sunroof
would continue closing.
Pressing the switch beyond the resistance
point and holding it there deactivates the anti-
trapping mechanism.

Following interruptions in electrical

power supply

After a power failure, there is a possibility that
the sunroof can only be raised. The system
must be initialized. BMW recommends having
this work done by your BMW Center.

Closing manually

In the event of an electrical malfunction, you can
move the glass sunroof manually:

Unclip the front of the cover of the interior
lamps using the screwdriver from the
onboard tool kit, refer to page

205

Insert the screwdriver into the openings on
each side to press the clips.

Remove the control unit.

Unplug the motor. Considerably less effort
will be required for manual operation.

Insert the Allen wrench supplied with the
onboard tool kit, refer to page

205

, into the

opening provided. Move the glass sunroof
in the desired direction.

Reinstall the control unit and reattach the
lamp cover.

Adjustments

Sitting safely

The ideal sitting position can make a vital con-
tribution to relaxed, fatigue-free driving. In con-
junction with the safety belts, the head
restraints and the airbags, the seated position
has a major influence on your safety in the event
of an accident. To ensure that the safety sys-
tems operate with optimal efficiency, we
strongly urge you to observe the instructions
contained in the following section.
For additional information on transporting chil-
dren safely, refer to page

Airbags

Always maintain an adequate distance
between yourself and the airbags. Always

grip the steering wheel on the rim, with your
hands in the 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock positions,
to minimize the risk of injury to the hands or
arms in the event of the airbag being triggered
off.
No one and nothing is to come between the air-
bags and the seat occupant.
Do not use the cover of the front airbag on the
front passenger side as a storage area. Make
sure that the front passenger is sitting correctly,
e.g. not resting feet or legs on the instrument
panel, otherwise leg injuries can occur if the
front airbag is triggered.
Make sure that passengers do not lean their
heads against the side or head airbags, other-
wise serious injuries could result if the side air-
bags suddenly deployed.

Even if you follow all the instructions, injuries
resulting from contact with airbags cannot be
fully excluded, depending on the circum-
stances. The ignition and inflation noise may
provoke a mild hearing loss in extremely sensi-
tive individuals. This effect is usually only tem-
porary.
For airbag locations and additional information
on airbags, refer to page

Head restraint

A correctly adjusted head restraint reduces the
risk of neck injury in the event of an accident.

Adjust the head restraint in such a way
that its center is at approx. ear level. Oth-

erwise, there is an increased risk of injury in the
event of an accident.

Head restraints, refer to page

Safety belt

Before every drive, make sure that all occupants
wear their safety belts. Airbags complement the
safety belt as an additional safety device, but
they do not represent a substitute.

Never allow more than one person to
wear a single safety belt. Never allow

infants or small children to ride in a passenger's
lap.
Expectant mothers should also wear the safety
belt, making sure that the strap in the pelvic
area is well down on the hips and does not press
against the abdominal region of the body.
Do not route the belt across your neck, or run it
across sharp edges. Be sure that the belt does
not become caught or jammed. The safety belt
should not be twisted and must be positioned
firmly over the pelvis and shoulder, as close to
the body as possible. It should not pass over
hard or fragile objects, otherwise the belt in the
pelvic area could slide over the hips in the event
of a head-on collision and injure the lower abdo-
men. Avoid wearing bulky clothing and regularly
pull the belt in the upper-body area taut, other-
wise its restraining effect could be impaired.

Safety belts, refer to page

Seats

Note before adjusting

Never attempt to adjust your seat while
the vehicle is moving. The seat could

respond with unexpected movement, and the

ensuing loss of vehicle control could lead to an
accident.
On the front passenger seat as well, do not
incline the backrest too far to the rear while the
vehicle is being driven, otherwise there is a dan-
ger in the event of an accident of sliding under
the safety belt, eliminating the protection nor-
mally provided by the belt.
