driver seat adjustment BMW X5 2006 E53 Central Body Electronics Workshop Manual

INTRODUCTION
The Central Body Electronics (ZKE III) equipped on the X5 includes the following sub-
systems under the total scope of its control:
• Windshield/tailgate wiping/washing,
including windshield rain sensor (AIC).
• Interior lighting
• Central locking
• Keyless entry
• Tailgate release
The following is an overview of new or changed features found on the X5 ZKE III variant.
• Passenger’s door module is now incorporated into the passenger’s door switchblock
module.
• Sunroof module (SHD) located on the K bus.
• The Central Locking system uses a new style door lock actuator with hall effect sensors
similar to E46.
• The GM III is responsible for the Key Memory feature. It provides the added
convenience of identifying users of the vehicle. Whenever the vehicle is locked or
unlocked via the FZV keyless entry system, a unique key identification signal (key
number) is transmitted to the General Module.
The key identification signal alerts the GM to communicate with other control systems
over the K Bus to store (when locked) or reset (when unlocked) certain driver adjustable
settings for the driver using the specific key. The GM also resets certain driver
adjustable settings that it controls directly.
• Power windows/Sunroof
• DWA alarm system
• Mirror - adjustment/memory/heating
• Seat adjustment/memory
• Steering column adjustment/memory
• Consumer cut-off/sleep mode

Key Memory: This feature provides the added convenience of identifying users of the vehi-
cle whenever a lock or unlocked signal is generated via the individual FZV keys. A maxi-
mum of four FZV keys can be used with the Key Memory feature.
Each of the four keys generate a unique key identification signal (key number) that is trans-
mitted simultaneously with the lock/unlock signals to the General Module. Key Memory
does not respond to Lock/Unlock requests from the drivers door lock.
Mostof the key memory functions require the vehicle be configured using the “KEY MEM-
ORY” function of the DIS or MoDiC. However, there are a few features that store settings
automatically without configuration such as IHKA blower speed and temp setting.
The key ID signal alerts the GM V to communicate with select control systems over the K
Bus to store (when locked) or reset (when unlocked) certain driver adjustable settings.
There are features that function as both a Car & Key Memory feature.
Example; the Automatic Seat Adjustment feature is encoded as a Car Memory Function
with the following possibilities:
• when unlocking,
• when opening a door after unlocking
• or not active at all.
If active, the seat positions are stored and reactivated by the Key Memory function for indi-
vidual users of the car.
