1 Central Locking and Anti-Theft
NOJE-
A single unlock request from the driver's door with the FZV
key unlocks the driver's door only.
A second unlock request
unlocls the remaining doors and trunk. This feature can be
modified for individual users with the Key Memory capabil-
ities to activate all lock actuators simultaneously See Car
Memory
/ Key Memory later in this section.
Starting with 2000 models, the battery in the FZV ignition
Icey is recharged by the ignition switch ring antenna while
the ley is in the ignition switch.
Transmitter self-test (models to
1999)
Press buttons 1 and 2 at the same time. This starts ltey trans-
/ mitter self-test. Transmitter is OK when LED glows steadily
te{le"el for that particular key and illuminate an instrument
cluster message.

NO JE-
If batteries are replaced within one minute of removal, it is
not necessary to
periorm initialization.
Tlie state of charge of key batteries has no effect on elec-
tronic immobilizer (EWS) function.

Remote key initialization
for one second. If LED fails to illuminate, try replacing ltey~
batteries.
The state of charge of key transmitter batteries is monitored
by the
GM. Once the voltage level of the transmitter drops be-
low
4.5volts, the LED no longersignals transmitteroperation.
Convenience opening, initialization and self-testing are no
lonaer ~ossible. The GM will store a fault indicatina low bat-

In the accompanying illustration, the key is from a 1998 mod-
el. 2000 and later models are equipped with a different look-
ing
/<ex but the button functions are the same.
- Up to four keys can be coded to operate the same system
Initialize all key transmitters at the same time.

4 1997 - 1999 models: Two lithium batteries are used to sup-
ply power to key transmitter. When replacement is neces-
sary, remove cover and two fasteners (arrows) from rear of
key to access batteries
NOTE-
If you replace the batteries within one minute, the FZV ley
will not require a new initialization procedure.
2000 and later models: FZV key battery is recharged by ring
antenna while ltey is in ignition switch. There is no need to re-
place ltey battery.
Car Memory 1 Key Memory
A number of features and functions can be customized to the
driver(s) preference. The identity of the vehicle user is provid-
ed by a
s~gnal from the keyless entry system (FZV).
Car Memory and Key Memory are actually two separate func-
tions, although they are marketed as a combined feature.
Car Memory
Pr'or ro new
veh c,e de very, the BMW scan roo (DISp us,
GTI or MOD C) is ~sed lo cooc ine driver preierences nro ine
appropriate control modules. Thereafter these choices can-
not be changed without
recoding with a BMW scan tool.
The functions that can be set using Car Memory include:
Alarm system (DWA) features such as armingldisarming
with
lkeyless entry (FZV), activation of tilt sensor or interior
sensor
lnterior light activation when central
locking is used
Convenience opening of
windows/sunroof
lnterior and external lighting preferences
Heating
I A/C preferences (IHKA)
Seat and mirror preferences (triggered by Key Memory)
Instrument cluster display units (for example: km vs. miles)

I Airbag System (SRS)
Two-stage airbag (MRS Ill)
Beginning with 2000 model year (911 999 production) the front
airbags were changed to a two-stage style airbag. This en-
sures that the force of
airbag inflation is not greater than nec-
essary to provide
protection. The airbags are designed to
Drovide "soit" de~lovment if the acceleration sensor detects a
iow-speed impact, and "hard deployment in higher speed im-
pacts.
NOTE-
A two-stage passenger airbag was used on cars built be-
tween
9/1998 and 3/1999. This pre-smart technology airbag
used two ignition stages. Stage one is designed to ignite first
during an impact. Stage two ignites after a timed period, as
programmed in the MRS
I1 control module.
Airbag indicator light
The MRS control module detects and stores system status
The
airbag indicator light in the instrument cluster displays
the status of the
airbag system when the ignition key is in "ac-
cessory" or
ON positions.
System normal: lndicator light comes on briefly, then goes
out.
- System malfunction: lndicator light fails to come on.
System malfunction: lndicator light comes on briefly, goes
out and lights up again.
The
airbag indicator light also comes on if the seat belt pyro-
technic tensioners have been triggered.

This chapter outlines the fundamentals and equipment
requirements of On-Board Diagnostics
I1 (OBD 11) standards
as they apply to BMW vehicles. Also covered here is a listing
of BMW and OBD
I1 diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs).
ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTICS (QBD !I)
OBD II standards were developed by the SAE (Society of
Automotive Engineers) and CARB (California Air Resources
Board).
OED I1 is the second generation of on-board self-
diagnostic equipment requirements. These standards were
originally mandated for California vehicles. Since
1996 they
have been applied
toall passengervehicles sold in the United
States.
On-board diagnostic capabilities are incorporated into the
hardware and soflwareof the enginecontrol module
(ECM) to
monitor virtually every component that can affect vehicle
emissions. The
OED I1 system works to ensure that
emissions remain as clean as possible over the life of the
vehicle.
Each emission-influencing component is checked by a
diagnostic routine (called a monitor) to verify that it is
functioning properly.
If a problem or malfunction is detected,
the
diagnostic executive built into the OBD I1 system
illuminates a malfunction indicator light (MIL) on the
instrument panel.
The OBD
I1 system also stores diagnostic trouble codes
(DTCs) about the detected malfunction in the ECM so that a
repair technician can accurately find and fix the problem.
