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.
Fixed indicator and warning lamps
Colors
The indicator and warning lamps can light
up in different colors and combinations.
>Red:
Stop the vehicle immediately
or
an important reminder
>Red and yellow:
Continue to drive; drive cautiously
>Yellow:

est opportunity
or

When the low beams are switched on,
the interior door handles are also
lighted. The intensity of the lighting is
adjusted using the instrument lighting con-
trol, refer to page101.<
Engaging locks
>Use the central locking button to lock all
of the doors simultaneously, or
>press the individual safety lock buttons
down. To prevent the driver from being
inadvertently locked out of the vehicle,
the lock button on the driver's door
automatically extends again after a brief
period if the door remains open.
Because any persons or animals left
unattended 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.<
Doors
Automatic soft closing*
Apply gentle pressure to the door to close
it. The closing process will then be carried
out automatically.
To avoid injuries, ensure that the
door's travel path is completely free
and clear before closing.<
Luggage compartment lid
Opening from outside
Press button. The luggage compartment lid
opens.
During opening, the luggage com-
partment lid pivots upward and to the
rear. Ensure that adequate clearance is
available before opening.<
The lock
All of the vehicle's keys fit the luggage
compartment lid lock located in the license
plate recess.
Opening separately
Insert the key in the luggage compartment
lid's lock and turn it all the way to the right
– the lid opens.
To avoid being locked out inadvert-
ently, avoid laying the remote control
down in the luggage compartment. The
luggage compartment is locked again as
soon as you close the lid.
If you use the key to unlock the luggage
compartment lid while the alarm system is
armed, the alarm will be triggered. Switch-
ing off the alarm, refer to page42.<

Luggage compartment
Net*
You can use the net to store smaller objects
on the bulkhead separating the luggage
compartment from the rear seats.
Do not stow objects behind the side
trim panels on the left and right in the
luggage compartment, as otherwise the
electrical parts could overheat and be dam-
aged.<
Alarm system
The concept
The vehicle alarm system responds:
>When a door, the hood, or the luggage
compartment lid is opened
>To movement in the vehicle interior:
interior motion sensor
>To changing the vehicle's tilt if someone
attempts to steal the wheels or tow the
vehicle
>To interruption of battery voltage.
The system responds to unauthorized vehi-
cle entry and attempted theft by simulta-
neously activating:
>An acoustic alarm, which lasts for a
period of approx. 30 seconds
>The hazard warning flashers for approx.
five minutes
>The high beams, which flash on and off
in the same rhythm.
Arming and disarming alarm system
When you lock or unlock the vehicle, either
with the remote control or at the door lock,
the alarm system is armed or disarmed at
the same time.
The system indicates that it has been cor-
rectly armed by switching on the hazard
warning flashers for a single cycle and by
emitting an acoustic signal.You can have different acknowledg-
ment signals set to confirm arming
and disarming.<
You can also open the luggage compart-
ment lid with the system armed using
button3on the remote control, refer
to page36. When you close the lid, the sys-
tem is rearmed.
Unlocking vie the door lock will trigger
the alarm on some national-market
versions.
Pressing the 'Panic mode' button for a
longer period also triggers the alarm, refer
to page36.<
Switching off alarm
>Unlock the vehicle using the remote
control, refer to page36
>or insert the remote control all the way
into the ignition lock, engaging the
detent.
Indicator lamp displays
>The indicator lamp below the interior
rearview mirror flashes continuously:
the system is armed
>The indicator lamp flashes when the
system is vehicle is locked: door(s) or
tailgate are not completely closed. Even
if you do not close the alerted area, the
system begins to monitor the remaining
areas, and the indicator lamp flashes
continuously after 10 seconds. How-
ever, the interior motion sensor is not
activated
>The indicator lamp goes out when the
vehicle is unlocked: no manipulation or
attempted intrusions have been

Parking lamps/low beams
Parking lamps
With the switch in this position, the
front, rear and side vehicle lighting
is switched on. You can use the
parking lamps for parking. For lighting on
one side for parking as an additional fea-
ture, refer to page101.
Low beams
When you switch off the ignition
with the headlamps on, the head-
lamps go out, and only the parking
lamps remain on.
Pathway lighting
After parking the vehicle and switch-
ing off the headlamps, you can use
the headlamp flasher control to activate
the low beams for a period of roughly
40 seconds. Pressing the button 4 on the
remote control, refer to page 36, also
switches on the low beams for approx.
40 seconds. In addition, the door handle
and interior lamps are switched on for
approx. 10 seconds.
You can have the lighting up of the low
beams extended or the function deacti-
vated.<
Lights on warning
If you switch off the ignition while the head-
lamps are on, when you subsequently open
the driver's door a gong will sound for sev-
eral seconds, while the Check Control will
provide you with a message
.
Daytime driving lamps*
If you wish, you can leave the light switch in
the low-beam position.
Always observe all applicable laws govern-
ing the use of daytime driving lamps.
You can switch on the parking lamps when
needed using the standard procedure
described under Parking lamps.
You can have the daytime driving
lamps on your vehicle programmed
to operate as desired.<
Automatic headlamp control
When you set the switch to this
position, the system activates and
switches on and off the low beams
in response to changes in ambient light
conditions, for instance, in tunnels, at dawn
and dusk, and in rain and snow. The green
indicator lamp next to the symbol is illumi-
nated when the low beams are on.
The low beams remain switched on
regardless of the ambient light when
you switch on the front fog lamps.<
The automatic headlamp control can-
not serve as a substitute for your per-
sonal judgment in determining when the
lamps should be switched on in response
to ambient lighting conditions. For exam-
ple, the system cannot detect fog. To avoid
safety risks, you should always switch on
the lamps manually under these condi-
tions.<
You can have the sensitivity of the
headlamp control system adjusted on
your vehicle.<

Adaptive Head Light*
The concept
Adaptive Head Light is a variable headlamp
control system that enables dynamic illumi-
nation of the road surface. Depending on
the steering angle and other assumptions,
the light from the headlamp follows the
course of the road.
Activating Adaptive Head Light
With the ignition on, refer to
page62, turn the light switch to the
position 'Automatic headlamp con-
trol', refer to page100.
To avoid blinding oncoming traffic, the
Adaptive Head Light:
>Is not active when driving in reverse
>Is only active toward the passenger's
side with the vehicle stationary.
Malfunction
The LED above the symbol for automatic
headlamp control flashes. Adaptive Head
Light is faulty or has failed. Have the system
checked as soon as possible.

desired direction3, beyond the resistance
point.
Front fog lamps
Briefly press the button once again to
switch on/off.
The parking lamps or low beams
must be switched on for the fog
lamps to operate. The green indica-
tor lamp in the Info Display lights up when-
ever the fog lamps are on.
If the automatic headlamp control is
activated, the low beams will come on
automatically when you switch on the fog
lamps.<

Turn the serrated dial to adjust the illumina-
tion intensity.

DVD changer
170
Malfunctions/notes
The BMW DVD changer is a 'Class 1'
laser product. Never remove the
cover from the housing. Do not operate the
unit if the cover is damaged. Operation
without the cover can lead to serious eye
injury from invisible laser beams.
Always refer all repair and maintenance
operations to qualified technicians.
With self-recorded CDs or DVDs, labels
applied later can become detached during
playback due to the development of heat,
causing irreparable damage to the
device.<

To prevent CDs from being copied
illegally, they are often provided with
copy protection by the manufacturer.
Under certain circumstances this can pre-
vent or restrict the playing of CDs on the
DVD changer. In this case please contact
the CD dealer or manufacturer.<
If you play self-recorded audio CDs, faults,
e.g. drop-outs, can occur, or the CD is not
played at all.
The DVD changer can play the following
formats:
>Video DVD
>CD-DA, Audio CD
>CD-R.The DVD Audio format is not sup-
ported by the DVD changer. However,
many audio DVDs available in stores also
contain a video track in the DVD Video for-
mat in addition to the audio track. These
DVDs can be played back by the DVD
changer. Please refer to the information on
your DVD to determine whether your audio
DVD contains an additional video track.
DVDs are usually divided into tracks and
chapters and can contain different subti-
tles, camera angles or sound tracks, lan-
guages and sound formats. Depending on
the version of the DVD, these functions can
be selected either directly with the DVD
control system or only via the DVD-specific
menu. Refer to the information on your DVD
for possible selections.
High levels of humidity inside the player
can condense on the laser's scan lens and
prevent it from reading the DVD.
Do not use combined CD/DVD, e.g. DVD+,
as otherwise the CD/DVD can jam, prevent-
ing it from being ejected.<

Xenon lamps
The service life of these bulbs is very long
and the probability of a failure is very low,
provided that they are not switched on and
off an unusual number of times. In the
unlikely event that one of these lamps
should fail, you can respond by switching
on your fog lamps and proceeding care-
fully, where allowed by law. Only have work on the xenon lighting
system including bulb changes car-
ried out by a BMW center or a workshop
that uses personnel trained in accordance
with BMW requirements. Due to the high
voltage involved, there is a danger to life
and limb when work is carried out improp-
erly.<
