- The trunk can be opened from this remote release when the
doors are locked from the central locking button. The
trunk
remote button is disabled when the trunkis loclted in the valet
position or when a speed signal of
4 mph is present at the
GM.
Remote entry (FZV)
< The €39 remote (keyless) entry system (FZV) uses a tiny ra-
dio transmitter in the vehicle key to
lock and unlock the doors
and the trunk by remote control. There are a number of other
features incorporated in FZV:
Locltinglunloclting of fuel filler lid
Selective unlocking of driver's door (as with key in lock)
Armingldisarming of DWA alarm system
Remote unlocking of
trunk lid or tailgate
Comfort opening of windows and sunroof
* Interior lighting activation
Panic mode alarm activation
* Models to 1999: Key incorporates LED. LED informs oper-
ator that an FZV signal is being transmitted. LED is also
useful indicator of key initialization status and lkey self-test.
Keys delivered with four different colored labels. This is
helpful to differentiate FZV keys during initialization,
pre.
venting possibility of misassigning key ID which would
change coded Key Memory functions.

Key Memory
Whenever one of the FZV keys is used to lock or unlock the
car, the user is identified by the GM. A maximum of four
keys
can be programmed with the Key Memoryfeature. The use of
the personalized key then triggers Car Memory functions
such as heating
I AIC (IHKA) settings or memory seat position
adjustment.
Most programming of Key Memory requires the use of
BMW
scan tools (DISplus, GT1 or MoDiC). However, features such
as
IHKA blower speed and temperature store automatically
without the use of scan tools.
Available Key Memory functions vary based on vehicle equip-
ment. The functions that can be set include:
Automatic locking after start off (vehicle speed)
Selective locking
Heating
1 AJC blower speed, heated or cooled air distribu-
tion, automatic blower setting
Trunk lid soft close (SCA)
< The optional sofl close trunk feature is called SCA. The SCA
actuator is located in the panel below the trunk lid.
1. SCA motor and actuator located behind trunk trim in
rear wall of
trunlc
2. Lower edge of trunlc seal
3. Cam in open position
4. Cam in closed position
The actuator is controlled by a load relay in the General Mod-
ule (GM). The closing cam is mounted on an eccentric that is
driven by the actuator. The cam always turns
180" in the
same direction to open or close the trunk.

SCA operation
Three microswitches are used to operate trunk latching sys-
tem.
Microswitch mounted on lock cylinder. Pushing lock cylin-
der in will signal GM to activate actuator and open trunk.
Q Microswitch in actuator signals GM when trunlc has re-
leased. Actuator shuts off.
When closing trunk, third microswitch (on trunk latch) sig-
nals GM to activate actuator. Cam turns to pull lid closed.
Foroverload protection,
ON duration of actuator is limited to a
max.
5 seconds.
Emergency opening of trunk is provided by a mechanical link
from the lockcylinder.
If the trunlc has been opened by the
emergency release, it can be
reclosed as a conventional lid
with normal pressure.
Tailgate and rear window locks

NOTE-
Do not lubricate lock or lock striker with grease.
Tailgate lock, emergency release
4 In case of electrical failure, there is an emergency tailgate
loclk release. The release is located in the tailgate behind the
tool door.
- With tool door open, remove access cover and pull to the
right to release tailgate.
ELECTRONIC ~MMOBILIZATION (EWS)
E39 cars are equipped with a passive theft-prevention sys-
tem. The Electronic Immobilization System (EWS) makes it
impossible to
startthe engine using any means other than the
special lkeys furnished with the vehicle.
NOTE-
Replacement EWS control modules or DME control modules
must be electronically aligned to each before the vehicle will
start. This requires the use of the BMW Service Tester
(DIS-
plus, GT1, or MoDiC). Without alignment, the engine will not
crank (for example: swapping a
known good DME control
module into another vehicle for test purposes will result in a
no crank situation).
In the EWS system, the ignition key is embedded with
acom-
puter chip (EEPROM) and coded. The key communicates
with the vehicle using a transponder in the lkey and a ring an-
tenna surrounding the steering lock cylinder. Up to
6 replace-
ment keys are permissible. Only an authorized
BMW dealer
can provide replacement keys.

l~entral Locking and Anti-Theft
ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM (DWA)
When the anti-then system (DWA) is armed, the doors, hood,
windows, trunk lid or tailgate are monitored against forcible
entry by switches and sensors. The vehicle is protected
against being jacked up or towed away by a tilt sensor.
The control electronics for DWA are integrated in the General
Module (GM). In addition to the control electronics, the sys-
tem includes the following components.
* DWA horn
DWA LED indicator
- Tilt sensor
- Monitoring switches and sensors
The system can be armed or disarmed from the driver's door
lock,
trunklid lock, tailgate lockorthe remote transmitter (FZV
Itey). When armed, the alarm horn
soundsfor30seconds and
the low beam headlights and turn signals flash for
5 minutes.
The electronic immobilizer (EWS) is also activated when
DWA is activated.
The alarm is switched off immediately if key is inserted in door
loclt or FZV key button is used.
DWA LED Status
The DWA status LED is located in the rear view mirror (ar-
row). When DWA is armed, the LED flashes slowly to indi-
cate armed status.
The LED and exterior lights flash once and the alarm horn
sounds when the system is successfully armed ordisarmed.
The LED will continue to flash slowly denoting the armed sta-
tus. If any monitored input is not closed when the system is
armed, the LED will flash rapidly for
10 seconds to indicate
the fault.
Tilt sensor
-
4 The tilt sensor, located on the left side of trunlt or cargo com- -
partment, consists of a conductive liquid chamber, a proces-
sor board and metal probes. The probes are submersed in
the liquid and produce a resistance value dependent on the
tilt of the sensor (angle of the vehicle). This resistance be-
comes the reference value when the DWA system is armed.
