control.<
Before activating the programmed
adjustment feature, ensure that
the footwell behind the driver's seat is

The mirror on the passenger's
side is convex. When estimating
the distance between yourself and
other traffic, bear in mind that the
objects reflected in the mirror are closer
than they appear. This means that esti-
mates of the distance to following traffic
should not be regarded as precise.<

tion 2.

you when you are driving at night, tilt
the lens by turning the button.

Vehicle Memory, Key MemoryHow the system functionsNo doubt you have reflected at one
time or another on how great it would
be if you could permanently configure
your vehicle's various features and
adjustments to mirror your own individ-
ual preferences. In engineering your
vehicle, BMW has provided for a num-
ber of options for personal adjustment
that can be programmed into your vehi-
cle 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 per-
son has a separate remote-control key,
you can have your BMW center enter
adjustment data for as many as four dif-
ferent individuals into the system.
The system then 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 door locks.
Distinguishing between keysColor-coded decals have been pro-
vided to help you distinguish individual
keys with different settings.What the system can doYour BMW center can provide you with
details on the capabilities of the Vehicle
Memory and Key Memory systems.
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.<
Examples for Vehicle Memory:
>Various signals as acknowledgment
when locking or unlocking your vehi-
cle, refer to pages 29, 31
>Activates/deactivates the 'Follow me
home' function, refer to page 85
>Activates/deactivates daytime driv-
ing lamps, refer to page 85
>Sets the units of measure for display-
ing time, outside temperature, dis-
tance traveled and fuel consumption

>When you shift into Reverse, an
acoustic signal indicates that PDC
has been activated, refer to page 80
>Switches on rear window defroster
automatically, refer to pages 92, 97
>Activates/deactivates various alarm
system functions, refer to page 37
>After giving an ice warning, the
onboard computer display returns to
the previous setting, refer to page 78.
Examples for Key Memory:
>Unlocks driver's door first, then the
vehicle's remaining locks, refer to
page 29
>Locks the vehicle automatically after
you start off, refer to page 32
>Automatically adjusts the driver's

BatteryMaintenanceThe battery is completely maintenance-
free. This means that the original bat-
tery acid will normally last for the ser-
vice life of the battery under moderate
climate conditions. Your BMW center
will be glad to advise you if you have
any questions concerning the battery.Charging the batteryWhen charging the battery in the vehi-
cle, leave the engine off at all times.
Connect the charge cables to the termi-
nals in the engine compartment. For
terminal locations, refer to Jump-start-
ing on page 147.Disposal
After changing the battery, have
the old battery disposed of by
your BMW center or bring it to a recy-
cling point. Maintain the battery in an
upright position for transport and stor-
age. Secure the battery against falling
over in transit.<
Power lossAfter a temporary power loss, e.g. due
to a discharged battery, some equip-
ment will be limited in its use and will
have to be reinitialized. Individual set-
tings are also lost and must be reset:
>Seat and mirror memory
The position settings must be stored
again, refer to page 47
>Clock
must be reset, refer to page 77
>Radio
Stations must be reset, refer to the
Owner's Manual for Radio/Onboard
Computer
>Navigation system
The system will not be operable
immediately, refer to the Owner's
Manual for Radio/Onboard Com-
puter.
FusesYou will find the fuses and information
on their respective allocation in the
glove compartment behind a panel with
two snap clips.
Do not attempt to repair a blown
fuse or replace it with a fuse
having a different color or amperage
rating. To do this could cause a fire in
the vehicle resulting from a circuit over-
load.<
