Notes
Do not use the voice command sys-
tem to make emergency calls. Your
voice and habitual tone could be affected
by stressful situations, as a result of which
the process of establishing the telephone
connection could be unnecessarily
delayed. Instead, use the emergency call
button near the interior rearview mirror,
refer to page 177.<
Environmental conditions
The voice command system uses a special
hands-free microphone located in the front
of your vehicle's headliner. Although the
system is designed to filter out ambient
noise, you can help ensure that your com-
mands will be understood by observing the
following instructions:
>Speak smoothly and clearly, at a normal
volume. Do not place any unusual
stress on individual syllables, and avoid
pauses
>Do not speak while the voice command
system is talking
>Keep the doors, windows and glass
roof closed to prevent interference from
ambient noise
>Avoid other sources of noise in the
vehicle while speaking, and ask other
vehicle occupants to refrain from talk-
ing while you are using the system
>The hands-free microphone is aimed
toward the driver. This means that the
system might be unable to register the
voices of other vehicle occupants prop-
erly.
The notebook
Recording a note
You can store approx. ten minutes of
spoken text Ð either as a single entry or

command system does not respond
to the {Cancel} command. The text check-
ing function for command words is deacti-
vated in this case so that you can speak

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
>Luggage compartment lid
>Fuel filler door.
The central locking system can be oper-
ated from the outside
>via the remote control
>via the driver's door lock
>with Comfort Access via the door han-
dle
and from inside via the button for the cen-
tral locking system.
When the system is locked from inside, the
fuel filler door remains unlocked, refer to
page 36.
The anti-theft system is automatically acti-
vated whenever you activate the central
locking system from outside the vehicle.
The alarm system is armed/disarmed at the
same time.
In an accident, the central locking system
automatically unlocks the vehicle. In addi-
tion, the hazard warning flashers and inte-
rior lamps switch on.

page 37.
The luggage compartment lid imme-
diately stops opening or closing if you

To avoid injuries, be sure that the
travel path of the luggage compart-
ment lid is clear when it is closed, as with
all closing procedures.
Operate the vehicle only when the luggage
compartment lid is completely closed.
Otherwise, exhaust fumes could penetrate
the interior of the vehicle. If special circum-
stances should make it absolutely neces-
sary to operate the vehicle with the luggage
compartment lid open:
>Close all windows and the glass roof
>Adjust the automatic climate control's
blower to supply a high rate of airflow,
refer to page 104.<

then flashes continuously. The tilt alarm
sensor and the interior motion sensor are
switched off as long as the system is
armed.
If you desire, the
>tilt alarm sensor
>interior motion sensor
can be switched off permanently. Please
contact your BMW center for assistance.<
Interior motion sensor
In order for the interior motion sensor to
function properly, the windows and glass
roof must be completely closed.
Be sure to deactivate the interior motion
sensor, refer to section on Avoiding unin-
tentional alarms, when you wish to leave
the windows or glass roof open.
Windows
Opening and closing windows
From radio mode on:
>Press the switch until you feel resis-
tance:
The window continues to move down-
ward as long as you continue to hold
the switch
>Briefly press the switch beyond the
resistance point:
The window moves downward auto-
matically. Briefly press the switch again
to stop the opening movement.
You can close the windows in the same
manner by pulling the switch.
After switching off the ignition
You can still operate the power windows:
>For approx. 15 minutes with the remote
control unit in the radio mode
>For approx. 1 minute in position 0 or
with the remote control unit disen-
gaged.
To open, press the switch beyond the
resistance point.
When leaving the vehicle parked,
always remove the remote control
from the ignition lock and close the doors;
this precaution prevents children from
operating the power windows and injuring
themselves, etc.<
For information on using the convenience
operation mode at the door lock or with the
remote control, refer to page 34 or 36.
Safety feature
If the force rises beyond a predefined
threshold during closing, the system will
stop moving the window prior to lowering it
slightly.
Despite this safety feature you should
always inspect the window's travel
path prior to closing it, as the safety system
might fail to detect certain kinds of obstruc-
tions, such as very thin objects, and the
window would continue closing.
Pulling the switch beyond the resistance
point and holding it limits the response of
the safety feature. Under these conditions
the window will respond to forces beyond a
defined threshold by only opening several
millimeters.
If you again pull the switch past the resis-
tance point and hold it in position within a
period of roughly 4 seconds, the safety fea-
ture will be deactivated.<
When you close the windows they will
slow down as they approach the end
of their travel; this is to allow the safety fea-
ture to respond more precisely to any
obstructions encountered in this critical
range.<

ment, and the ensuing loss of vehicle con-
trol could lead to an accident.
Also on the passenger's side, do not incline
the backrest too far to the rear while the
