Central locking system
The concept
The central locking system is ready for
operation whenever the driver's door is
closed. This simultaneously engages and
releases the locks on the following:
>Doors
>Luggage compartment lid
>Fuel filler door.
The central locking system can be oper-
ated from the outside
>via the remote control
>via the driver's door lock
>with Comfort Access via the door
handle
and from inside via the button for the cen-
tral locking system.
When the system is locked from inside, the
fuel filler door remains unlocked. Refer to
page38.
The anti-theft system is automatically acti-
vated whenever you activate the central
locking system from outside the vehicle.
The alarm system is armed/disarmed at the
same time.In an accident, the central locking system
automatically unlocks the vehicle. In addi-
tion, the hazard warning flashers and inte-
rior lamps switch on.
Opening and closing:
from outside
Using remote control
When you engage/release the vehicle's
locks, you simultaneously activate/deacti-
vate the anti-theft system, arm/disarm the
alarm system
and switch the interior lamps
on/off.
In addition, the remote control offers you
another function:
>Panic mode
In case of danger, you can trigger an
alarm.
You can have various confirmation
signals programmed into the system
to verify that the vehicle has been locked
securely.<
Protect remote control against unau-
thorized use, e.g. by handing over
only the remote control without an inte-
grated key when leaving the vehicle for
valet parking etc., refer to page34.<
For additional details on alarm system,
refer to page42.

lighted. The intensity of the lighting is
adjusted using the instrument lighting con-
trol, refer to page101.<
Engaging locks
>Use the central locking button to lock all
of the doors simultaneously, or
>press the individual safety lock buttons
down. To prevent the driver from being
inadvertently locked out of the vehicle,
the lock button on the driver's door
automatically extends again after a brief
period if the door remains open.
Because any persons or animals left
unattended in a parked vehicle could
lock the doors from the inside, you should
always keep the remote control with you;
this precaution ensures that you will remain
able to unlock the vehicle from the outside
at all times.<
Doors
Automatic soft closing*

it. The closing process will then be carried
out automatically.
To avoid injuries, ensure that the
door's travel path is completely free
and clear before closing.<

lid's lock and turn it all the way to the right
– the lid opens.
To avoid being locked out inadvert-
ently, avoid laying the remote control
down in the luggage compartment. The

Tilt alarm sensor and interior motion
sensor
Tilt alarm sensor
The tilt of the vehicle is monitored. The
alarm system reacts, e.g. in case of an
attempted wheel theft or towing.
Interior motion sensor
In order for the interior motion sensor to
function properly, the windows and glass
roof must be completely closed.
Avoiding unintentional alarms
The tilt alarm sensor and interior motion
sensor may be switched off at the same
time. This prevents 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 button 2on the remote
control twice consecutively.
The indicator lamp lights up briefly and then
flashes continuously. The tilt alarm sensor
and the interior motion sensor are switched
off up to the next unlocking and locking
actions. If you wish, the tilt alarm sensor and
interior motion sensor will be perma-
nently deactivated. Please contact your
BMW center for assistance.<
Windows
Opening and closing windows
From radio mode on:
>Press the switch up to the resistance
point:
The window continues to move down-
ward as long as you continue to hold
the switch
>Briefly press the switch beyond the
resistance point:
The window moves downward auto-
matically. Briefly press the switch again
to stop the opening movement.
You can close the windows in the same
manner by pulling the switch.

The headliner insert slides back somewhat
when you raise the roof. When the roof is
opened the headliner retracts with it.
Do not use force to close the head-
liner insert with the roof in its raised
position, as damage to the mechanism
could result. When leaving the vehicle, dis-
engage the remote control in the ignition
lock and close the doors, as otherwise chil-
dren could operate the roof and injure
themselves etc.<
For information on using the convenience
operation at the door lock or with the
remote control, refer to page36 or38.
Automatic* opening and closing
Briefly press the switch beyond the resis-
tance point and then release it.
In addition, the following response is also
automatic:
With the roof open, briefly press the switch
in the 'Raise' direction: the roof rises to its
tilt-up end position.
Press the switch again in any direction to
stop the roof.
Anti-trapping mechanism
If the glass roof meets with resistance dur-
ing closing from approximately the middle
of the roof opening or when closing from
the raised position, then the closing opera-
tion is interrupted and the glass roof opens
again somewhat.
Despite the anti-trapping mechanism
inspect the roof's travel path prior to
closing it, as the safety system might fail to
detect certain kinds of obstructions, such
as very thin objects, and the roof would
continue closing.
The protection provided by the anti-trap-
ping mechanism is limited when the switch
is pressed beyond the resistance point and
held. The roof only opens a short distance.
If you again press the switch beyond the
resistance point and hold it in position
within a period of roughly 2 seconds, the
anti-trapping mechanism will be deacti-
vated.< When you close the glass roof, it will
slow down as it approaches the end
of its travel path; this is to allow the safety
feature to respond more precisely to any
obstructions encountered in this critical
range.<
Following interruptions in electrical
power supply
Following interruptions in electrical power,
for instance, when the battery is discon-
nected, it is possible that the glass roof will
extend to its tilt-up position, but fail to
respond to other commands. The system
must be initialized. BMW recommends hav-
in g t h is w o rk car r ied ou t b y y ou r B MW c en -
ter.
Malfunction
In the event of an electrical defect, you can
operate the glass roof manually:
1.Take out the interior lamp, reach behind
the opening, press out the cover
2.Insert the Allen wrench supplied with
the onboard tool kit, refer to page201,
in the opening provided. Turn to slide
the glass roof in the desired direction.

Seats
Note before adjusting
Never attempt to adjust your seat
while operating the vehicle. The seat
could respond with unexpected movement,
and the ensuing loss of vehicle control
could lead to an accident.
Also on the passenger's side, do not incline
the backrest too far to the rear while the
vehicle is being driven, as otherwise there
is a danger in the event of an accident of
'sliding under' the safety belt, eliminating
the protection normally provided by the
belt.<
Please observe the information on damage
to safety belts provided on page51 and the
information on the active head restraints on
page49.
