Central locking system Opening and closing Ð from the outside The conceptThe central locking system is ready for
operation whenever the driver's door
is closed. The system engages and
releases the locks on the
>doors
>luggage compartment lid
>fuel filler door at the same time.
The central locking system can be
operated
>from outside via the door lock and
using the remote control
>from inside by pressing a button.
Activating it from inside does not lock
the fuel filler door (see page 38). When
the system is actuated from the
outside, the anti-theft system is acti-
vated simultaneously. Both the door
locks and the safety lock buttons
remain locked. The alarm system is also
armed or disarmed.
The central locking system unlocks
automatically in the event of an acci-
dent. In addition, the hazard warning
flashers and interior lamps come on.
Using the keyOne turn of the key in the driver's door
lock unlocks the driver's door only.
Turning the key a second time will
unlock the passenger-side door, the
luggage compartment lid and the fuel
filler door.
You can have a signal set as an
acknowledgment message that
the vehicle is closed correctly.<460de006
Convenience operationYou can also operate the power
windows and sliding/tilt sunroof from
the door lock.
>To open: with the door closed, hold
the key in the "Unlock" position.
>To close: with the door closed, turn
the key to the "Lock" position and
hold it.
Watch during the closing process
to be sure that no one is injured.
Releasing the key stops the operation. Turn the key to the extreme left or right
to unlock/lock the door.

Luggage compartment lidOpening from the inside
*
If the luggage compartment lid has not
been locked separately, you can open it
with this button in the footwell on the
driver's side when the vehicle is
stationary.460de011
ClosingThe handle recesses in the interior trim
panel of the luggage compartment lid
(arrows) make it easier to pull the lid
down.
To avoid injuries, be sure that the
travel path of the luggage
compartment lid is clear when it is
closed, as with all closing procedures.<460de067
Do not drive with the luggage
compartment lid open, since
exhaust fumes could penetrate the inte-
rior of the vehicle. Should it be abso-
lutely necessary to operate the vehicle
with the luggage compartment lid open:
>Close all windows and the sliding/tilt
sunroof
as well.
>Increase the air supply for the air
conditioner or automatic climate
control to a high level. Refer to
page 90 or 96.<

Alarm system
*
>If the indicator lamp flashes for
10 seconds when the system is
disarmed: an attempted entry has
been detected in the period since the
system was armed.
Following triggering of an alarm, the
indicator lamp will flash continuously.
Avoiding an unintentional alarm The 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
trailer or train:
Locking the vehicle twice (= arming the
system). Press button 2 on the remote
control twice in succession or lock the
vehicle twice with the key. Refer to
page 34.
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.
Reset the alarm to reactivate the tilt
alarm sensor and the interior motion
sensor.
Interior motion sensorThe transmitter and receiver of the inte-
rior motion sensor are located in a trim
panel in the vehicle's roof.
For the interior motion sensor to func-
tion properly, the windows and sliding/
tilt sunroof must be closed.
However, you should switch off the
interior motion sensor (see previous
column) if you wish to leave the
windows or sliding/tilt sunroof open.460de159

Sliding/tilt sunroof
*
Exercise care when closing the
sliding/tilt sunroof and keep it in
your field of vision until it is completely
closed. Failure to do so can result in
injuries.
Remove the key from the ignition lock
and close the doors when you leave the
vehicle so that children cannot operate
the sunroof and possibly injure them-
selves.<
Avoid low air pressure or drafts in the
passenger compartment whenever the
sunroof is open or up by keeping the
vent outlets on the instrument panel
open, and if necessary, by increasing
the air supply. Refer to page 92 or 99.
If the sunroof is completely open, air
disturbances may be caused in the
vehicle when you are driving at higher
speeds. Close the roof as far as neces-
sary until this natural phenomenon
ceases.
To operate the door lock or the remote
control by using the convenience oper-
ating mode, refer to page 34 or 36.
Lifting Ð Opening Ð ClosingFrom ignition key position 1, press the
switch or slide it to the desired direction
until you feel resistance.
When lifting, the headliner will retract
several inches.
Do not use force to close the
headliner whenever the sunroof is
open, because the mechanism will be
damaged.<
After the ignition has been switched off,
you can still operate the sliding/tilt
sunroof for up to 15 minutes, as long as
no door has been opened.460de015
Automatic opening and closing>Press the switch past the pressure
point: the sunroof travels to either the
fully-closed or fully-open position.
>With the sunroof open, press the
switch briefly toward "Lift": the
sunroof automatically extends to its
fully raised position.
Pressing the switch again briefly stops
the motion immediately.

Sliding/tilt sunroof
*
Safety featureIf the sliding/tilt sunroof encounters
resistance at a point roughly past the
middle of its travel when it is closing,
the closing cycle is interrupted and the
sunroof will retract slightly.
At any rate, even with this safety
function, make sure that the
closing path is clear, otherwise, in
borderline cases (e. g. with thin
objects), the limit for triggering the
sunrooof's closing force cannot be
guaranteed. You can override this
safety feature by pressing the switch
beyond the pressure point and holding
it.<
Power loss or malfunctionIn the event of an electrical malfunction,
you can operate the sliding/tilt sunroof
manually, refer to page 167.

Cargo loading Roof-mounted luggage rack
*
Always position and secure the
load correctly. If you do not, it can
endanger the passengers during
braking or evasive maneuvers.
Do not exceed the permissible gross
weight and axle loads (refer to
page 186), otherwise the vehicle's oper-
ating safety is no longer assured and
you are in violation of the law.
Do not stow heavy or hard objects in
the passenger compartment without
securing them. Otherwise they would
be thrown around during braking and
evasive maneuvers and endanger the
occupants.<
AnchorsAccess to the anchors:
To open the cover (arrow) please use
the tool included with the roof-rack
system.
A special roof-rack system is available
for your BMW as an optional extra.
Please comply with the precautions
included with the installation instruc-
tions.
Because roof racks raise the center of
gravity of the vehicle when loaded, they
exercise a major effect on its handling
and steering response.
You should therefore always remember
not to exceed the approved roof
weight, the approved gross vehicle
weight or the axle loads when loading
the rack. Pertinent specifications are 462de271
listed under "Technical Data,"
page 186.
Make sure that the load is not too
heavy, and attempt to distribute it
evenly.
Always load the heaviest pieces first (on
the bottom). Be sure that adequate
clearance is maintained for raising the
sliding/tilt sunroof, and that objects do
not project into the opening path of the
luggage compartment lid.
Secure the roof luggage correctly and
securely to prevent it from shifting or
being lost during driving (danger to
following traffic).
Drive smoothly and avoid sudden
acceleration or braking. Do not corner
at high speeds.
The roof load increases aerodynamic
resistance, which in turn increases fuel
consumption and places additional
stress on the vehicle itself.
