To select a stored setting
Do not select a memory position while

>Briefly press memory button 1, 2 or 3,
as desired.

of the seat adjustment or memory but-
tons is operated during the adjustment
process.
With the driver's door closed and the igni-
tion key either removed or in position 0
or 2:
>Press and hold the desired memory
button – 1, 2 or 3 – until the adjustment
process is completed.
If you press the

You can have your vehicle adjusted in
such a way that your personal set-
tings are automatically set for the seat
positions when you unlock the vehicle with
your personal remote control.<
If you make use of this method of
adjustment, be sure that the space
behind the driver's seat is unobstructed
before unlocking the vehicle. If you fail to
do so, objects behind the seat could be
damaged by a rearward movement of the
seat.<
Seat heating*
The seat cushion and backrest can be
heated with the ignition key in position 2.
You can call up different heating modes by
repeatedly pressing the buttons.
The seat heating can also be switched off
from the higher heating modes:
Press the button and hold it slightly longer.
Safety belts
Always fasten your safety belt before start-
ing off. As supplemental restraint devices,
the airbags are designed to enhance the
effectiveness of the safety belts, and not to
replace them.

belt buckle.
Please fasten safety belts warning

How the system functions
You have probably frequently wished that
you could configure individual functions of
your vehicle to reflect your own personal
requirements. In engineering your vehicle,
BMW has incorporated a number of
options for personal adjustment that can be
programmed into your vehicle at your BMW
center.
The available configuration data fall into
two categories, according to whether their
primary orientation is the vehicle – Vehicle
Memory, or the individual – Key Memory.
You can have up to four different basic set-
tings adjusted for four different persons.
The only requirement is that each person
uses his or her own remote control key.
When your vehicle is unlocked with the
remote control, the vehicle recognizes the
individual user by means of a data
exchange with the key, and makes adjust-
ments accordingly.
Colored decals were provided with the
keys to help you distinguish between the
different personal remote control keys.
What the system can do
You can learn about the entire array of fea-
tures this system offers at your BMW cen-
ter. A few examples follow below:
Examples for Vehicle Memory:
>Various signals as acknowledgement
when locking or unlocking your vehicle:
refer to pages 18, 19>Activation/deactivation of the "Follow-
me-home" function: refer to page 45
>Activation/deactivation of daytime driv-
ing lamps: refer to page 45
>Setting the units of measurement for
the temperature and distance traveled
in the instrument cluster display.
Examples for Key Memory:
>Locking of the vehicle when you start
off: refer to page 20
>Automatic adjustment of the driver's
seat position to the personal pro-
grammed settings when the vehicle is
unlocked: refer to page 30.
You will see this symbol throughout
the Owner's Manual. It is to remind
you at appropriate places of the settings
that are available to you.<
