Sliding/tilt sunroof
*
The headliner insert slides back some-
what when you raise the sunroof. When
the sunroof is opened, the headliner
retracts with it.
Do not use force to close the
headliner insert with the sunroof in
its raised position, as damage to the
mechanism could result.<
For the convenience mode via the door
lock, refer to page 31.Automatic opening and closingPress the switch briefly past the pres-
sure point: the sunroof travels to either
the fully-closed or fully-open position.
Pressing the switch again stops the
motion immediately.
Safety featureIf the sliding/tilt sunroof encounters
resistance
>when it is closing from the raised
position
>when it is closing from a point
roughly past the middle of its travel,
the closing cycle is interrupted and the
sliding/tilt sunroof will open again
slightly.
Despite this safety feature, be
extremely careful that the travel
path of the sunroof is not obstructed
whenever it is closed. Remember that
the safety mechanism may not be able
to detect obstructions under all circum-
stances (with very thin objects, for
instance).
You can disable this safety feature by
pressing the switch beyond the pres-
sure point and holding it.<
Manual operation In the event of an electrical malfunction,
you can also operate the sliding/tilt
sunroof manually:
1. Remove the interior lamp, then reach
into the exposed opening and press
out the cover
2. Use the Allen key from the onboard
tool kit, refer to page 124 to turn the
sliding/tilt sunroof in the desired
direction.

Airbags
The airbags do not respond to
minor collisions, rear impacts, or
to some kinds of vehicle rollovers.<
For your safety, comply with the
following instructions for the
airbags. If you do not, the airbags may
not be able to provide their maximum
protection. All passengers in the vehicle
should be aware of and comply with
this information:
The airbags are supplemental restraint
devices designed to provide extra
protection; they are not a substitute for
safety belts. Wear your safety belt at all
times. The airbags will not be triggered
in the event of a minor accident, a
vehicle rollover, or collisions from the
rear. In these instances, the safety belt
provides optimal protection.
Airbags are located under cover panels
in the steering wheel, in the instrument
panel, in the side trim panels in the
front and rear
*, in the roof panels, and
in the sides of the inside roof lining.
Adjust your seat to a position that
provides maximum distance between
you and the steering wheel, the instru-
ment panel and the door while still
allowing comfortable and safe access
to all vehicle controls.
To avoid sustaining hand and arm inju-
ries, always grasp the steering wheel
on the rim with the hands at the 9 and
3 o'clock positions. Do not place your
hands on the center pad.
Never allow any objects to obstruct the
area between the airbag and an occu-
pant.
Do not use the cover panel above the
passenger-side airbag as a storage
area.
Do not apply adhesive materials to the
cover panels of the airbags, cover them
or modify them in any other way.
Do not install a rear-facing child-
restraint system in the front passenger
seat of this vehicle.
Children under 13 years of age and less
than 5 ft (150 cm) tall should ride only in
the rear seat.
Infants or small children should never
be held on the lap of a passenger.
If your vehicle is equipped with side
airbags in the rear passenger area
*, be
sure that child restraints are mounted
correctly with the greatest-possible
distance between them and the airbags
in the side trim panels. Do not allow
children to lean out of the child's seat in
the direction of the side trim panels. If
they do so, serious injuries can occur if
the airbag is triggered. upright and be properly restrained
(infants and small children in appro-
priate child-restraint systems; larger
children and adults using the safety
belts). Never let an occupant's head
rest near or on a side airbag because
the inflating airbag could cause a
serious or fatal injury. Please note that
the word Airbag imprinted on the door
trim panel indicates the airbag's loca-
tion.
Accident research shows that the
safest place for children in an
automobile is in the rear seat. However,
a child sitting in the rear seat and not
properly restrained may place his or her
head on or near the airbag, if so
equipped. For example, a child Ñ even
though belted Ñ may fall asleep with his
or her head against the side airbag. It
may be difficult for a driver to ensure
that children in the rear seat will remain
properly positioned at all times and not
place their heads on or near the side
airbag.
Therefore, we recommend that the
rear-seat side airbags, if installed in the
vehicle, be deactivated if children will
travel in the rear seat.
The rear side airbags may already have
been deactivated, either at the time of

Vehicle Memory, Key Memory How it worksNo doubt you have often reflected on
how great it would be if you could
permanently configure your vehicle's
various features and adjustments to
mirror your own personal preferences.
In engineering your vehicle, BMW has
included a number of options for
storing personal adjustment data.
These can be programmed 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). Provided that each person
has a separate remote-control key, you
can have your BMW center enter basic
adjustment data for up to four individ-
uals in the system.
The system relies on a bilateral data
exchange to identify the individual user
and dial in the selected settings when-
ever the remote control unit is used to
disengage the locks.
Color-coded decals have been
provided to help you distinguish the
different keys with their individual
settings.What the system can doYou can learn about the entire array of
features this system offers at your BMW
center. Here are just a few examples:
Examples for Vehicle Memory:
>Various confirmation signals when
you lock or unlock the vehicle, refer
to pages 29, 31
>Activation/deactivation of the "Follow
me home" lamps, refer to page 82
>Activation/deactivation of the
daytime driving lamps, refer to
page 82.Examples for Key Memory:
>Engagement of the vehicle's door
locks as soon as it starts to move,
refer to page 32
>Automatic seat adjustment according
to the individual's personal settings
when the vehicle is unlocked, refer to
page 45
>Option of unlocking the driver's door
first, and then the rest of the vehicle,
refer to page 32.
At various points in this Owner's
Manual you will see this symbol
indicating that the system or function
described in the adjacent section can
be adjusted to reflect your personal
preferences.<
