New transmitter
If you place a new transmitter into ser-
vice (either a replacement or an addi-
tional transmitter), it must be initialized:
1 Enter the vehicle and close the doors.
2 Turn the ignition key briefly (max.
5 seconds) to position 1 in the steer-
ing lock and then turn it back to posi-
tion 0. Remove the key.
3 Press button 1 (refer to the illustra-
tion) and hold it. Maintain pressure on
button 1 while rapidly pressing button
2 three times in succession within a
period of 10 seconds.

4 Release button 1.
5 The central locking system activates
and releases all lock mechanisms in
rapid succession to indicate that the
initialization procedure has been suc-
cessfully completed.
If the central locking system does not
react, you must repeat the initialization
procedure.
If you possess additional transmitters
for your vehicle (up to a maximum of
four units), you must now initialize these
as well. Be sure that no more than
30 seconds is allowed to elapse be-
tween the individual initialization proce-
dures. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for each of
the transmitters when doing this. The
central locking system will confirm every
initialization procedure as described in
step 5.
In the event of a system malfunction,
please contact your BMW center. You
can also obtain replacement transmit-
ters here.
Whenever you receive a new
transmitter, turn that transmitter to
position 2 in the ignition lock once (igni-
tion switched on) and then back. This
allows the electronic vehicle immobi-
lizer (refer to page 31) to "learn" the
new key.
To prevent unauthorized use of the
transmitter, surrender only the door and
ignition key 3 or the spare key (refer to
page 30) when leaving the vehicle for
valet parking, for instance.<
