The key set
1Master keys with remote control.
They specify the functions of the Key
Memory. In the process individual func-
tions of your vehicle can behave differ-
ently depending on the key used, see
further below.
To differentiate, you can mark the keys
with remote controls using the color-
coded decals you received on taking
delivery of the vehicle
There is an extended-life battery
in every master key with remote
control which is charged automatically
in the ignition lock as you drive.
If you have any master keys with remote
control that are not used on a regular
basis, you should therefore remember
to recharge these units by using them
to drive the vehicle for an extended
period at least every six months, also
refer to page 28.<
2Spare key for storage in a safe place,
such as in your wallet.
The locks for the luggage compartment
lid and the hotel function, refer to
page 30, cannot be operated with this
key. This is an advantage in a hotel, for
example. The key is not intended for
constant use
Replacement keys
Additional or replacement keys are avail-
able at your BMW center.
Key Memory
How the system functions
Doubtless you have often reflected on how
great it would be if you could configure
your vehicle's various adjustment settings
to meet your own personal requirements.
BMW has designed several freely select-
able options into the vehicle during its
development. You can set these as desired
via the Control Center.
You can have up to four different basic set-
tings adjusted for four different persons for
the specific keys. The only requirement is
that each person uses his or her own mas-
ter key with remote control.
When your vehicle is unlocked with the
remote control, the vehicle recognizes the
individual key by means of a data exchange
and makes adjustments accordingly.
Examples of Key Memory functions
>Automatic adjustment of the driver's
seat
>Locking the vehicle after moving off
>When unlocking with the remote con-
trol, either unlock only the driver's door
or the entire vehicle
>Activating visual warning for PDC Park
Distance Control
>Resetting volume setting.
Central locking system
The concept
The central locking system is ready for
operation whenever the driver's door is
closed. This simultaneously engages and
releases the locks on the following:
>Doors
>Compartment in the front center con-
sole

Everything under control
Odometer, outside
temperature display, clock
When the ignition is off you can briefly acti-
vate the time, outside temperature and
odometer displays by pressing the knob 3
at the lower left of the instrument cluster.
Outside temperature display, clock,
date 1
The outside temperature and the time are
displayed from ignition key position 1
onwards.
You can set the measurement unit 7 or 6
on the Control Display, refer to Measure-
ment units on page 72.
To call up the date:
Briefly press the CHECK button on the turn

Ice warning
A signal sounds when the outside temper-
ature falls to roughly +37.57/+36; this is
accompanied by a message.
Please bear in mind that the ice warn-
ing does nothing to alter the fact that
black ice may be present on roads at tem-
peratures higher than +37.57/+36, e.g.
on bridges and shaded roads.<
Odometer and trip odometer 2
To reset the trip odometer to zero:
Press button 3 in the instrument cluster.
Tachometer
The white-striped advance warning field,
arrow 1, changes depending on the engine
temperature. The segments disappear in
sequence as the engine warms to its nor-
mal operating temperature.
Avoid allowing the engine speed to rise as
far as the advance warning field whenever
possible.
Engine speeds in the red warning field,
arrow 2, must be avoided.
In this range, the fuel supply is interrupted
to protect the engine.

Displays in instrument cluster
The display sequence:
>Cruising range
>Average speed
>Average fuel consumption.
Cruising range
Displays the estimated cruising range
available with the remaining fuel. The sys-
tem calculates the cruising range based on
operating conditions over the last 20 miles/
30 km and the amount of fuel remaining in
the tank.
Always refuel as soon as possible
once your cruising range falls to
below 30 miles/50 km, as otherwise engine
functions are not ensured and damage can
occur.<
Average fuel consumption
The average fuel consumption is calculated
for the time during which the engine is run-
ning.
You can use the Control Display to view
your fuel consumption rate over two differ-
ent distances, refer to Computer or Trip
computer.
To reset the average fuel consumption:
press the BC button in the turn signal lever
for approx. 2 seconds.
Average speed
Periods with the vehicle parked and the
engine off are not included in the calcula-
tions of average speed.
To reset the average speed: press the
BC button in the turn signal lever for
approx. 2 seconds.
