The key set
1Every master key with remote control con-
tains an extended-life battery as a power
supply, which is charged automatically in
the ignition lock as you drive. You should
use each master key at least twice a year in
order to maintain the charge condition.
Depending on which master key is detected
by the vehicle during unlocking, different
settings in the vehicle are requested and
executed, refer to Key Memory below.
2Spare key for storage in a safe place, such
as in your wallet.
This key does not fit in the locks of the lug-
gage compartment lid and the hotel func-
tion, refer to page32. This is an advantage
when valet parking at a hotel, for example.
The key is not intended for constant use.
New keys
New, 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 selectable 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 settings
adjusted for four different persons for the spe-
cific keys. The only requirement is that each
person uses his or her own master 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.
Scope of Key Memory
>When unlocking with the remote control,
either unlock only the driver's door or the
entire vehicle, refer to page29.
>Locking the vehicle after a short time or
after starting to drive, refer to page31
>Assigning the programmable function but-
tons on the steering wheel, refer to page51.
>Settings for the display on the Control Dis-
play:
>Brightness of the Control Display, refer
to page77
>Units of measure for consumption,
route/distances, temperature and pres-
sure, refer to page77

The following settings mentioned last are also
called up during unlocking:
>Driver's seat, exterior-mirror and steering-
wheel position, refer to page46

video sources, refer to page133

Central locking system
The concept
The central locking system is ready for opera-
tion whenever the driver's door is closed. This
simultaneously engages and releases the locks
on the following:
>Doors
>Compartment in the front center console
>Luggage compartment lid
>Fuel filler door
The central locking system can be operated
from the outside
>via the remote control
>via the door lock
and from inside via the button for the central
locking system.
If operated from the inside, the fuel filler door
and the compartment in the front center con-
sole are not locked, refer to page31.
The anti-theft system is automatically activated
whenever you activate the central locking sys-
tem from outside the vehicle. It prevents the
doors from being unlocked using the lock but-
tons or door handles. The alarm system is
armed/disarmed at the same time. The dome
light is also switched on and off with the remote
control.
You can find more detailed information on the
alarm system on page34.In the event of a serious accident, the central
locking system unlocks automatically. The haz-
ard warning flashers and interior lamps also
switch on.
Opening and closing: from
outside
Using the remote control
Protect the remote control against unau-
thorized use by handing over only the
spare key, for example when using hotel valet
parking.<
Because any persons or animals left unat-
tended in a parked vehicle could lock the
doors from the inside, you should always keep
the remote control with you; this precaution
ensures that you will remain able to unlock the
vehicle from the outside at all times.<
Unlocking
Use the button to unlock the vehicle
depending on the setting.
Control Center, for principle details, refer to
page16.

2.Select "Vehicle settings" and press the
controller.
3.Select "Door locks" and press the control-
ler.
4.Select "Central locking" and press the con-
troller.
5.Select "Unlock button" and press the con-
troller.
6.Select a menu item:
>"All doors"
Press the button once to unlock the
entire vehicle.
>"Driver's door only"
Press the button once to unlock only
the driver's door and the fuel filler door.
