Remote control with integrated key
Each remote control contains a battery which is
automatically charged in the ignition lock while
driving. You should use the remote control at
least twice a year in order to maintain the
charge condition. For equipment with comfort
access
*, the remote control contains a replace-
able battery, refer to page38.
Depending on which remote control is detected
by the vehicle during unlocking, different set-
tings are called up and carried out in the vehicle,

data in remote control, page195.

Personal Profile
The concept
You can set a number of functions of your BMW
individually according to your preferences.
Personal Profile ensures that most of these set-
tings are stored for the remote control currently
in use without you having to do anything. When
the vehicle is unlocked, the corresponding
remote control is detected and the settings
stored for it are called up and carried out.
This means that you will always find your BMW
set to your own personal settings even if
another person with his/her own remote control
and settings has used the vehicle since the last
time you drove it. The individual settings are
stored for a maximum of four remote controls.
