Adapter for spare key
You will need the adapter to activate the ignition
and to start the vehicle with the spare key.
Take the adapter from the onboard tool kit, refer
to page213.
Press lock button1, slide the cover open and
insert the spare key2 into the adapter. Close
the cover and insert the adapter into the ignition
lock.
Key Memory
The concept
You can set a number of functions of your BMW
individually according to your preferences. Key
Memory ensures that most of these settings 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 your BMW will return to your
personal settings even if it has in the meantime
been driven by another person with his/her own
remote control and settings. The individual set-
tings are stored for a maximum of four remote
controls.

tion whenever the driver's door is closed. This
simultaneously engages and releases the locks
on the following:

>Fuel filler door
The central locking system can be operated
from the outside:
>via the remote control
>via the driver's door lock
>with Comfort Access
* via the door handles
and from inside via the button for the central
locking system.

filler door remains unlocked. Refer to page34.

R Reverse
Select only when the vehicle is stationary.
N Neutral
You can select this position, for example, in car
washes. The vehicle can roll.
Transmission remains in N even after the
ignition is switched off whenever you
leave the remote control in the ignition lock.
This function is useful in automatic car washes,
etc.
After approx. 30 minutes the system automati-
cally shifts into position P. Pay attention to the
messages on the Info Display.
Switching off engine, refer to page58.<
D Drive, automatic position
This is the mode recommended for normal
vehicle operation. All forward gears are avail-
able.
Under normal operating conditions, the fuel
consumption is lowest when driving in
position D.
Kick-down
The kick-down mode provides you with maxi-
mum acceleration.
Press the accelerator pedal beyond the full-
throttle resistance point.
Sport program and manual operation
Press button1 on the steering wheel.
The sport program is activated and S appears
on the Info Display. This program is recom-
mended for a performance-oriented driving
style.
Press button1 again to switch into the manual
mode and then into the automatic program
again.
In the manual mode, the Steptronic changes
gears when one of the buttons2 on the front or
back of the steering wheel is briefly pressed.
The Info Display shows the manual ranges M1
through M6.
Upshifts and downshifts are executed only
when they will result in a plausible combination
of engine and vehicle speed; thus, for example,
the system will not execute a downshift that
would cause the engine to overrev. In this case,
the requested gear appears briefly on the Info
Display, followed by the current gear.
Press button1 again to switch back into the
automatic program.
