Reporting safety defects
The following only applies to vehicles
owned and operated in the US.
If you believe that your vehicle has a
defect which could cause a crash or
could cause injury or death, you should
immediately inform the National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration
NHTSA in addition to notifying BMW of
North America, LLC, P.O. Box 1227,
Westwood, New Jersey 07675-1227,
Telephone 800-831-1117.
If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it
may open an investigation, and if it
finds that a safety defect exists in a
group of vehicles, it may order a recall
and remedy campaign. However,
NHTSA cannot become involved in indi-
vidual problems between you, your
dealer, or BMW of North America, LLC.
To contact NHTSA, you may either call
the Auto Safety Hotline toll-free at
1-800-424-9393 Ð or 366-0123 in

Keys Central locking system The key set1 The master keys with remote control
determine the functions of the Key
Memory, refer to page 61.
You can mark individual keys for
subsequent identification by applying
the colored decals that you received
when accepting delivery of your
vehicle
There is an extended-life battery
in every master key which is
charged automatically in the ignition
lock as you drive.
For this reason, if you have a master
key that is otherwise not used, use that
key approx. once every year while
driving for an extended period. This will
charge the battery, refer also to
page 31.< 463de023
2 Spare master key for storage in a
safe place, such as in your wallet.
This key is not intended for contin-
uous use
3 Door and ignition key
The lock for the glove compartment
cannot be operated with this key.
This is recommended for valet
parking, for instance.
The concept The central locking system is ready for
operation as soon as you close the front
doors. The system engages or releases
the locks on the
>doors
>liftgate/tailgate
>fuel filler door.
The central locking system can be
operated
>from outside via the remote control
as well as via the driver's door lock
>from inside via the button for the
central locking system.
If the system is locked from inside, the
fuel filler door remains unlocked, refer
to page 35.
When the system is actuated from
outside of the vehicle, the anti-theft
system is actuated simultaneously. This
prevents the doors from being unlocked
via safety lock buttons or door handles.
The alarm system is also armed or
disarmed.
In the event of an accident, the central
locking system unlocks automatically,
but only those doors which were not
locked separately with the safety lock
buttons, refer to page 35. In addition,
the hazard warning flashers and interior
lamps come on.

Opening and closing Ð via the remote controlThe conceptThe remote control makes opening and
locking the doors of your vehicle very
convenient. Furthermore it provides
three additional functions that can only
be executed via the remote control:
>Switch on the interior lamps, refer to
page 32.
With this function, you can also
search for your vehicle Ñ when
parked in an underground garage, for
instance
>Open the liftgate, refer to page 32.
The liftgate will open slightly, regard-
less of whether it was previously
locked or unlocked
>Panic mode, refer to page 32.
In case of danger, you can trigger an
alarm.
Whenever you unlock or lock the
vehicle, you simultaneously deactivate/
activate the anti-theft system, disarm/
arm the alarm system and switch the
interior lamps on/off.
You can have an acknowledgment
signal set to confirm that the
vehicle is correctly locked.<
Since passengers or animals
remaining in the vehicle might be
able to lock the doors from the inside,
take the vehicle's keys with you so that
the vehicle can be opened again from
the outside at any time.<
If it is no longer possible to lock
the vehicle via the remote control,
the battery is discharged. Use this key
while driving for an extended period in
order to charge the battery. To prevent
unauthorized use of the remote control,
surrender only the door and ignition key
or the spare key when leaving the
vehicle for valet parking, for example,
refer to page 30.
In the event of a system malfunction,
please contact your BMW Sports
Activity Vehicle center. You can also
obtain replacement keys there.<

Alarm system The concept The vehicle alarm system responds:
>When a door, the hood, or the liftgate
is opened
>To movement inside the vehicle Ð
interior motion sensor
>To variations in the vehicle tilt angle
such as occur during attempts to
steal the wheels or tow the vehicle
>To interruption of battery voltage.
The system responds to unauthorized
vehicle entry and attempted theft by
simultaneously activating the following:
>Sounding an acoustical alarm for
30 seconds
>The hazard warning flashers are acti-
vated for approx. five minutes
>The high beams flash on and off in
the same rhythm.
To arm and disarm the alarm
system When the vehicle is locked or unlocked
with the key or the remote control, the
alarm system is also simultaneously
armed or disarmed.
You can have different acknowl-
edgment signals set to confirm
system arming and disarming.<
You can still open the liftgate after the
system has been armed by pressing the
button of the remote control, refer to
page 32. When you close the liftgate, it
is secured again.
Indicator lamp displays>The indicator lamp below the interior
rearview mirror flashes continuously:
the system is armed
>The indicator lamp flashes during
arming: the door(s), the hood or lift-
gate 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. However, the interior
motion sensor is not activated
>If the indicator lamp goes out when
the system is disarmed: no manipula-
tion or attempted intrusions have
been detected in the period since the
system was armed530us018

Alarm system Electric power windows >If the indicator lamp flashes for
10 seconds when the system is
disarmed: an attempted entry has
been detected in the period since the
system was armed.
Following triggering of an alarm, the
indicator lamp will flash continuously. Avoiding unintentional alarmsThe tilt alarm sensor and interior motion
sensor may be switched off at the same
time. To prevent an unintentional alarm
from being triggered, in garages with
elevator ramps, for instance, or when
the vehicle is transported by trailer or
train:
Lock the vehicle twice, i. e. arm the
system. Press button of the remote
control twice in succession or actuate
the locks twice with the key.
The indicator lamp lights up briefly and
then flashes continuously. The tilt alarm
sensor and the interior motion sensor
are deactivated as long as the system is
armed.
Interior motion sensor In order for the interior motion sensor to
function properly, the windows and
sliding/tilt sunroof must be completely
closed.
However, be sure to switch off the inte-
rior motion sensor Ð refer to the
previous column Ð when you
>leave children or animals in the
vehicle
>intend to leave the windows or
sliding/tilt sunroof open.
Open and close windowsFrom ignition key position 1:
>Press the switch up to the pressure
point:
The window continues to move as
long as you continue to hold the
switch
>Press the switch beyond the pressure
point:
The window moves downward auto-
matically. Touch the switch again to
stop the opening movement.
You can close the windows in the same
manner by pulling the switch.530us020

The concept The BMW Universal Transmitter
replaces up to three hand-held trans-
mitters of different devices such as
garage door openers, alarm systems, or
door locking systems. The BMW
Universal Transmitter recognizes and
learns the transmitted signal of each of
the original hand-held transmitters.
The signal of an original hand-held
transmitter can be programmed on one
of the three channel keys. Following
that, each of the devices can be actu-ated with the appropriately-programmed
channel key. The indicator lamp flashes
to confirm transmission of the signal.
If the vehicle is sold, the memory of the
channel keys should be cleared as
described on page 114. During programming and before
every remote actuation of a
programmed device by the BMW
Universal Transmitter, check to be sure
that there are no persons, animals or
objects within the actuation range of
the device in order to prevent possible
injuries or damage. Also, comply with
the safety precautions of the original
hand-held transmitter.<
To Canadian residents:
During programming, your hand-
held transmitter may automatically stop
transmitting after two seconds. This
may not be long enough to program the
BMW Universal Transmitter. If you are
programming from one of these hand-
held transmitters, the Universal Trans-
mitter's light may begin to flash in a
series of double-blinks. If this occurs,
continue to hold the button of the
Universal Transmitter while you reacti-
vate your hand-held transmitter. You
may have to repeat this function several
times while programming.<
Before programming, read the
User information section on
page 114.<
Original hand-held transmitter
If this symbol is present on the
packaging or in the instructions
of the original hand-held trans-
mitter, it may be assumed that this
hand-held transmitter is compatible
with the BMW Universal Transmitter.
