Opening and closing – from the outside
Using the remote control
The remote control makes unlocking
and locking your vehicle extremely con-
venient. It also offers three additional
functions that can only be carried out
with the remote control:
> Interior lamp activation, refer to
page 34.
With this function, you can also
search for your vehicle if, for
example, it is parked in an under-
ground garage
> Opening the luggage compartment
lid, refer to page 35
> Panic mode, refer to page 35.
In case of danger, you can trigger an
alarm.
The anti-theft system is also deacti-
vated/activated simultaneously with the
unlocking or locking of the vehicle, and
the alarm system is disarmed/armed,
and the interior lamps are switched on/
off.
You can have a signal set as an
acknowledgement that the vehicle
is properly locked.<
Master keys
Keys with remote control are master
keys, refer to page 30.
Because passengers or animals
remaining in the vehicle could lock
the doors from the inside, you should
always remove the key and take it with
you to ensure that you remain able to
unlock the vehicle from the outside at
all times.<

Master keys that are used repeat-
edly are always ready for opera-
tion since the battery in the key is
charged automatically in the ignition
lock every time you drive.
If it is no longer possible to unlock the
vehicle via the remote control, the bat-
tery is discharged. Use this key while
driving for an extended period in order
to charge the battery, refer also to
page 30.
To prevent unauthorized use of the
remote control, surrender only the door
and ignition key 3 or the spare key 2 –
refer to page 30 – when leaving the
vehicle for valet parking, for example.
In the event of a system malfunction,
please contact your BMW center. You
can also obtain replacement keys
there.<
