Indicator and warning
lamps
Technology that monitors itself
The indicator and warning lamps identified
by the
+ symbol are subjected to an oper-
ation check each time you switch on the
ignition or start the engine. They each light
up once for different periods of time.
When a malfunction occurs in a monitored
system, the corresponding lamp will either
fail to go out when the engine is started, or
it will come on again during normal driving.
Detailed information is provided on the
specified pages.

Control Center
The concept
The Control Center has been designed to
avoid the unnecessary complexity created
by an extended number of switches and
controls. It consists of the controller and
the Control Display.
The controller is used to select the func-
tions that will appear on the Control Dis-
play. In addition, it also shows you the
Check Control messages, refer to page83.
Controls
1Controller: you operate all the functions
in the Control Center by moving, turning
and pressing.
If you move the controller
>you feel the mechanical guides along
the main direction of movement.
This makes it easier for you to select
the right main menus
>If you turn the controller, you feel an
electronically created rasterizing.
This helps you to select the desired
menu item
2Button for opening the start menu from
any menu item
3Individual button assignmentTo avoid posing an unnecessary haz-
ard, both to your own vehicle's occu-
pants and to other road users: never
attempt to use the controls or make adjust-
ments unless traffic and road conditions
allow.<
The following introduction illustrates how
easy it is to use the Control Center.
You can find detailed instructions describ-
ing how to use the individual systems in the
separate sections.

Opening and closing
44 For information on using the convenience
operation at the door lock or with the
remote control, refer to page36 or38.
Anti-trapping mechanism
If the force rises beyond a predefined
threshold during closing, the system will
stop moving the window prior to lowering it
slightly.
Despite the anti-trapping mechanism
you should inspect the window's
travel path prior to closing it, as the safety
system might fail to detect certain kinds of
obstructions, such as very thin objects, and
the window would continue closing.
The protection provided by the anti-trap-
ping mechanism is limited when the switch
is pulled beyond the resistance point and
held. Under these conditions the window
will respond to forces beyond a defined
threshold by only opening several millime-
ters.
If you again pull the switch beyond the
resistance point and hold it in position
within a period of roughly 4 seconds, this
anti-trapping mechanism will be deacti-
vated.<
When you close the windows they will
slow down as they approach the end
of their travel; this is to allow the anti-trap-
ping mechanism to respond more precisely
to any obstructions encountered in this crit-
ical range.<
Safety switch
With the safety switch, you can prevent the
rear windows from being opened or closed
via the switches in the rear passenger area,
by children, for example. The same applies
to adjusting the electric rear seats, refer to page48 and the electric rear head
restraints, refer to page50, as well as to
the operation of the roller sun blinds from
the rear, refer to page113. The indicator
lamp lights up when this safety feature is
activated.
Press the safety switch when children
ride in the rear, as otherwise
unchecked closing of the windows could
lead to injuries.<
So that you can deactivate the func-
tion again, the remote control must be
i n s e r t e d i n t h e i g n i t i o n l o c k o r , w i t h C o m f o r t
Access, the radio mode must be switched
on.<
After installing accessories
After installing any accessory – such as a
clamp-on antenna for a portable phone –
within the window's travel range, you will
need to have the system reinitialized for
use under the new conditions. BMW rec-
ommends having this work carried out by
your BMW center.
Glass roof, electric*
Raising, opening, closing
From radio mode on, press the switch, or
slide it in the desired direction up to the
resistance point.
After switching off ignition
You can still operate the roof:
>In the radio mode for a longer time
>For approx. 1 minute in position 0 or
with the remote control disengaged.

You can also adjust the height of the head
restraint electrically.
To prevent possible personal injury
and property damage, always ensure
that the area above the head restraints is
clear and unobstructed before extending
them upward.<
Side extensions adjustment
You can fold the side extensions on the
head restraint forward to increase lateral
support.
Safety belts
Fastening
Make sure you hear the latch plate engage
in the belt buckle. The warning lamp lights up after
driving a short distance until after
the driver and front passenger have
fastened their safety belts.
At the same time, an acoustic signal
sounds. The warning lamp also lights up
and a signal sounds if the driver or front
passenger removes the safety belt during
driving.
The warning lamp can light up and a
signal can sound if objects are laid on
the front passenger's seat.<
Releasing
1.Press the red button in the belt buckle
2.Hold the belt firmly
3.Guide the belt back into its reel.
The shoulder strap's anchorage point will
be in the correct position for seat occu-
pants of every build if the seat is correctly
adjusted, refer to page47.
The two rear safety belt buckles integrated
in the rear seat are for passengers sitting
on the left and right. The belt buckle
embossed with the word CENTER is
intended exclusively for use by passengers
riding in the center position.
Damage to safety belts
In the event of loads caused by acci-
dents or other damage: have the belt
system including the belt tensioner and any
child restraint systems replaced and the
anchorage points checked. Only have cor-
responding work carried out by a BMW
center or a workshop that uses personnel
trained in accordance with BMW require-
ments.<
Rear seats
When the rear center position is not
occupied, the latch on the safety belt
can be inserted in the slot between the
seat's upholstery and the backrest.<
