armed: an attempted entry has been
detected in the period since the sys-
tem was armed.
Following triggering of an alarm, the
indicator lamp will flash continuously.Avoiding unintentional alarmsThe tilt alarm sensor and interior motion
sensor may be switched off at the same
time. You can do this to prevent a false
alarm from being triggered in garages
with elevator ramps, for instance, or
when the vehicle is transported by train:
Lock the vehicle twice to arm the sys-
tem. Press the button on the remote
control twice in succession or lock the
vehicle twice with the key.
The indicator lamp lights up briefly and
then flashes continuously. The tilt alarm
sensor and the interior motion sensor
are deactivated as long as the system is
armed.Interior motion sensorIn order for the interior motion sensor to
function properly, the windows and
sliding/tilt sunroof must be completely
closed.
Nevertheless, you should deactivate
the interior motion sensor, see Avoiding
unintentional alarms, if
>persons or animals are left in the
vehicle
>the windows or the sliding/tilt sunroof
are being left open.
The system deactivates the tilt-
alarm sensor and the interior
motion sensor if the convenience clos-
ing of windows and the sliding/tilt sun-
roof is interrupted in the first 10 sec-
onds and then restarted. The alarm
must then be disarmed and reactivated
before it will resume operation.<

Vehicle Memory, Key MemoryHow the system functionsNo doubt you have often reflected on
how great it would be if you could per-
manently configure your vehicle's vari-
ous features and adjustments to mirror
your own personal preferences. In engi-
neering your vehicle, BMW has
included a number of options for stor-
ing personal adjustment data. These
can be programmed at your BMW cen-
ter.
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 per-
son has a separate remote-control key,
you can have your BMW center enter
basic adjustment data for up to four
individuals in the system.
The system relies on a bilateral data
exchange to identify the individual user
and executes the selected settings
whenever the remote control unit is
used to disengage the locks.
Color-coded decals have been pro-
vided to help you distinguish the differ-
ent 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 signals as acknowledgment
when locking or unlocking your vehi-
cle, refer to pages 31, 33
>Activates/deactivates the "Follow me
home" function, refer to page 89
>Activates/deactivates daytime driv-
ing lamps, refer to page 89
>Sets the units of measure for display-
ing time, outside temperature, dis-
tance traveled and fuel consumption
in the instrument cluster>Indicates via an acoustic tone that
PDC has been activated, refer to
page 77
>Switches on rear window defroster
automatically, refer to pages 94, 99
>After giving an ice warning, the dis-
play returns to the previous setting,
refer to page 75.
Examples for Key Memory:
>Locks the vehicle automatically after
starting off, refer to page 34
>Unlocks the driver's door first, then
the vehicle's remaining locks, refer to
page 34
>Opens the tailgate instead of the rear
window with the remote control, refer
to page 32
>Automatically adjusts the driver's
seat to the personal programmed
settings when the vehicle is
unlocked, refer to page 48
>Determines how far the passenger
mirror will tilt, refer to page 49.
You will see this symbol through-
out the Owner's Manual. It is to
remind you at appropriate places of the
settings that are available to you.<

Tips for pleasant drivingUse the automatic mode by pressing
AUTO button 7. Select an interior tem-
perature that is comfortable for you.
Detailed setting options are described
for you in the following section.
You can make the settings of your
vehicle in such a manner that
when you unlock the vehicle with the
remote control of your personal key,
your own personalized setting for the
automatic climate control is initiated. supply
The AUTO program adjusts the
air distribution and the air sup-
ply for you and in addition adapts the
temperature to external influences –
summer, winter – to meet preferences
you can specify.
Individual air distribution
You can cancel the AUTO pro-
gram by selecting specific dis-
tribution patterns to suit your
own individual requirements.
While the AUTO program is then deacti-
vated, the automatic airflow control
remains in operation. Air flows onto
windows , toward the upper body
, and into the footwell . You can
switch the automatic distribution of air
back on by selecting the AUTO button.Temperature
The interior temperature that
appears in the display panel is a
general figure intended for reference
purposes. We recommend 727/+226
as a comfortable setting, even if the air
conditioning is on. When you start the
vehicle, the system ensures that the
selected temperature is achieved as
quickly as possible regardless of the
season. It then maintains this tempera-
ture.
To select the units of measure 6/7 of
the display, refer to 75.
Air supply/Blower
Press the left or right half of the
button to regulate the air supply.
This deactivates the automatic control
of the air supply, AUTO disappears
from the display panel. Nevertheless,
the automatic air distribution remains
unchanged. You can reactivate the
automatic air distribution mode by
selecting the AUTO button.
When the lowest blower speed is set
and you press the left half of the button,
all of the displays are canceled: the
blower, heating and air conditioning are
switched off. The outside air supply is
blocked. You can reactivate the system
by pressing any button for the auto-
matic climate control.To defrost windows and remove
condensation
This program quickly removes
ice and condensation from the
windshield and the side windows.
Air conditioning
The air is cooled and dehumidi-
fied and – depending on the
temperature setting – rewarmed.
Depending on the weather, the wind-
shield may fog over briefly when the
engine is started. Air conditioning helps
prevent the windows from fogging up.
Condensation forms during opera-
tion of the air conditioning system,
which then exits under the vehicle. It is
thus not unusual for a small puddle to
form under the car while the system is
running.<
