Even when the alarm system is armed, you can open the upper tailgate by pressing the button on the remote control, see page 29. When you close the tailgate subsequently, it will be locked and monitored. On certain national-market versions, the upper tailgate can only be opened with the remote control if the car has first been unlocked. Opening certain national-market versions via the door lock triggers the alarm.< Switching off the alarm > Unlock the car with the remote control, see page 28. > Insert the remote control fully into the igni- tion lock. Indicator light displays > The indicator light beneath the inside mirror flashes steadily: the system is armed. > The indicator light flashes after the car has been locked: the doors, engine compart- ment lid or upper tailgate have not been closed properly. Even if an item is not closed fully, the remaining items are dead- locked and the indicator light begins to flash steadily after 10 seconds. However, the interior movement detector is not activated. > The indicator light goes out after the car has been unlocked: no attempt was made to tamper with the car during your absence. > The indicator light flashes after unlocking until the remote control is inserted into the ignition, but for no longer than approx. 5 minutes: an attempt was made to tamper with the car. Tilt alarm sensor The car's angle is monitored. The alarm will be triggered for instance if an attempt is made to steal the car's wheels or tow it away. Interior movement detector Before the interior movement detector can operate correctly, the windows and panorama glass roof * must be closed. Avoiding false alarms The tilt alarm sensor and the interior movement detector can be switched off together. This pre- vents false alarms, e.g. in the following situa- tions: > In two-level garages > When being transported on car-carrying trains, boats/ships or trailers > If pets are to remain inside the car Switching off the tilt alarm sensor and interior movement detector Press the button on the remote control again as soon as the car is locked. The indicator light lights up briefly, then contin- ues to flash steadily. The tilt alarm sensor and interior movement detector are switched off until the next time the car is unlocked and locked. Comfort access* Comfort access enables you to access your car without having to take hold of the remote con- trol. It is sufficient to have the remote control on your person, for example in your hand or in a jacket pocket. The car automatically recognises your remote control when it is in the immediate vicinity or inside the car. Online Edition for Part-No. 01 41 0 013 209 - © 04/07 BMW AG Opening and closing 34 Comfort access supports the following func- tions: > Unlocking/locking the car > Comfort closing > Opening upper tailgate > Starting the engine Operating requirements > The car can only be locked once it ascer- tains that the remote control being carried is not located inside the car. > Approximately two seconds need to elapse before the car can be unlocked and locked again. > The engine can only be started once the car ascertains that the remote control is located inside the car. Comparison with conventional remote control You can control the above functions using com- fort access or by pressing the buttons on the remote control. Consequently, you should begin by familiarising yourself with the instruc- tions for opening and closing, starting on page 26. The features specific to comfort access are described below. A short delay when opening or closing the windows or panorama glass roof * indi- cates that a test is being carried out to ascertain whether there is a remote control inside the car. You may need to repeat the opening or closing operation.< Releasing Take a firm hold of one of the door handles, arrow 1. This corresponds to pressing the button. Locking Touch the area highlighted in the illustration, arrow 2, with your finger for approx. 1 second. This corresponds to pressing the but- ton. Please make sure that all electrical con- sumers are switched off prior to locking in order to preserve the battery.< Comfort closing Hold your finger or the back of your hand against the area, arrow 2. Comfort closing, see page 29. Opening upper tailgate Press the button on the upper tailgate. This cor- responds to pressing the button. If the car detects a remote control which has been left in the load area accidentally once the upper tailgate has been closed, the lid will reopen. The hazard warning system flashes and an audible signal * sounds.< Switching on radio readiness Briefly touching the start/stop button switches on radio readiness, see page 54. Do not depress the brake, otherwise the engine will start.< Online Edition for Part-No. 01 41 0 013 209 - © 04/07 BMW AG 35 Entertainment OverviewControlsDriving hintsNavigationMobilityReference Starting the engine You can start the engine or switch on the igni- tion when a remote control is inside the car. It is not necessary to insert the remote control into the ignition lock, see page 54. If the car is unable to detect a remote control, once the engine has been switched off, you will only be able to restart it within approx. 10 seconds, provided no door has been opened. Stopping the engine > Remote control not in ignition lock: Transmission position P is automatically engaged after the engine has been switched off. > Remote control in ignition lock: If transmission position N is engaged, the transmission remains in that position after the engine has been switched off. Before entering a car wash The vehicle will be able to roll if you observe the following steps: 1. Insert the remote control into the ignition lock. 2. Depress the brake. 3. Engage transmission position N. 4. Release parking brake. 5. Switch off the engine. 6. Leave remote control in the ignition lock. Malfunction Comfort access may malfunction as a result of interference from local radio signals. In this case, open or close the car using the buttons on the remote control or the key. You can subse- quently start the engine by inserting the remote control into the ignition lock. The warning light in the instrument cluster comes on if an attempt is made to start the engine: engine starting not possible. The remote control is not inside the car or is faulty. Bring the remote con- trol inside the vehicle or have it checked. Try inserting a different remote control in the igni- tion lock. The warning light in the instrument cluster comes on when the engine is running: the remote control is no longer inside the car. After the engine has been switched off, it can only be restarted within approx. 10 seconds, provided no door has been opened. The indicator light in the instrument cluster comes on and a message appears on the control display: change the battery in the remote control. Changing the battery The battery in the remote control for comfort access requires replacement from time to time. 1. Remove the integrated key from the remote control, see page 26. 2. Remove the cover. 3. Insert a new battery with the plus side up. 4. Press the cover back into position. Dispose of the old battery only at an authorised collecting point or hand it in to BMW Service.< Windows Observe the windows during the closing procedure, to avoid any injuries. Take the remote control with you when you leave the car, otherwise children, for example, could operate the windows and possibly injure themselves.< Online Edition for Part-No. 01 41 0 013 209 - © 04/07 BMW AG Opening and closing 36 Opening, closing > Press the switch until the pressure point is felt: The window is opened for as long as you press the switch. > Press the switch beyond the pressure point: The window opens automatically. Press the switch again to halt the opening movement. Close the window similarly by pulling the switch. There are separate switches in the rear of the car for the rear windows. Comfort operation using the remote control or door lock, see pages 29 or 30. Comfort closing with comfort access, see page 34. After the ignition is switched off You can still operate the windows for approx. 1 minute after the remote control has been removed or the ignition switched off. Trap protection If the closing force of a window exceeds a specific value as it closes, the closing action is interrupted and the window reopens slightly. Despite the trap protection function, make sure that the windows are not obstructed as they close; if this precaution is not taken, the risk remains that thin objects, for instance, could fail to interrupt the closing movement. Do not install any accessories in the movement range of the windows in order not to impair the trap protection function.< Closing without the trap protection function If an external hazard or ice on the windows does not allow you to close the windows normally, proceed as follows: 1. Pull the switch past the pressure point and keep it there. 2. Pull the switch beyond the pressure point again within about 4 seconds and keep it there. The window closes without the trap protection function. Safety switch This enables you to prevent the rear door win- dows being opened and closed at the switches in the rear seat area, for instance by children. When the safety function is switched on, the LED lights up. Press the safety switch when carrying children on the rear seat, otherwise care- less closing of the windows could result in injury.< Panorama glass roof* Observe the panorama glass roof during the closing procedure, to avoid any inju- ries. Take the remote control with you when you leave the car, otherwise children could operate the roof and possibly injure themselves.< Online Edition for Part-No. 01 41 0 013 209 - © 04/07 BMW AG 37 Entertainment OverviewControlsDriving hintsNavigationMobilityReference Raising, opening, closing Press the switch or push it in the required direc- tion as far as the pressure point. With the sliding trim open, the roof can be closed, opened and tilted independently. When the roof is closed or in the raised position, the sliding trim can be opened or closed inde- pendently. Comfort operation using the remote control or door lock, see pages 29 or 30. Comfort closing with comfort access, see page 34. Vent position Press the switch: The glass roof is raised and the sliding trim opened a short distance. After the ignition is switched off You can still operate the roof for approx. 1 minute after the remote control has been removed or the ignition switched off. Automatic opening and closing Press the switch beyond the pressure point. Pressing the switch again stops this movement. Opening and closing roof and sliding trim together Press the switch twice in rapid succession beyond the pressure point. Pressing the switch again stops this movement. Comfort position Each time it is fully opened and subsequently closed, the panorama glass roof halts in the comfort position. If desired, the movement can then be continued using the switch. The comfort position minimises wind noise inside the car. Trap protection If the panorama glass roof or sliding trim encounters an obstruction during closing from approximately one-third of the roof aperture, or during closing from the raised position, the closing movement is interrupted and the pano- rama glass roof and sliding trim are opened again slightly. Despite the trap protection function, make sure that the roof is not obstructed as it closes; if this precaution is not taken, the risk remains that thin objects, for instance, could fail to interrupt the closing movement.< Closing without the trap protection function If there is an external hazard, slide the switch forward beyond the pressure point and keep it there. The roof closes without the trap protec- tion function. After a power failure After a power failure, it is possible that the roof will only move to the raised position. Then have the system initialised. BMW recommends that you have this work performed by BMW Service. Online Edition for Part-No. 01 41 0 013 209 - © 04/07 BMW AG Adjusting 38 Adjusting Safe seated position A seated position that suitably reflects your requirements is a vital condition of relaxed driv- ing with a minimum of fatigue. In conjunction with the seat belts, the head restraints and the airbags, the seated position has a major influ- ence on your safety in the event of an accident. You should therefore observe the following notes in order to maintain the protective func- tion of the car's safety systems. For additional notes on carrying children in safety, see page 50. Airbags Keep your distance from the airbags. Always grip the steering wheel on the rim, with your hands in the 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock positions, to minimise the risk of injury to the hands or arms in the event of the airbag being triggered. No other persons, pets or objects should be held or permitted to remain between the airbag and yourself. Do not use the front airbag cover on the front passenger's side as a tray. Make sure that the front passenger likewise adopts a correct seated position and does not rest feet or legs on the instrument panel, for example, otherwise they could sustain leg injuries in the event of the front airbag being triggered. Make sure that passengers do not use the side or head-level airbags as headrests, otherwise they may sustain injuries in the event of the air- bags triggering.< Even if all these instructions are complied with, certain injuries as a result of contact with the airbag cannot be entirely ruled out, depending on the circumstances in which an accident occurs. Occupants with sensitive hearing may be subject to brief and generally temporary impaired hearing caused by the ignition and inflation noise. The locations of the airbags and additional notes are given on page 89. Head restraint Head restraints adjusted to the correct height reduce the risk of injuries to the neck in the event of an accident. Adjust the head restraint in such a way that its centre is at approximately ear level; otherwise, there is an increased risk of injury should an accident occur.< Push the head restraints for the third row of seats * to their uppermost position. Head restraints see page 42. Seat belt All occupants should always fasten their seat belts before you set off. The airbags are a com- plementary safety feature and not a substitute for the seat belts. Never restrain more than one person with each seat belt. Babies or small children must not travel on the lap of another occupant. Around the pelvis, make sure that the belt sits firmly on the hips and does not press down on the stomach. Do not fasten the seat belt around the neck, pull it across sharp edges or route or fasten it over fixed or fragile objects. Pull the seat belt tight and without twisting across the pelvis and shoulder and keep it as close as pos- sible to the body in order to avoid it slipping over the hips and injuring the stomach in the event of a frontal collision. Avoid wearing bulky clothing and regularly pull the belt in the upper-body area taut, otherwise its restraining effect could be impaired. If the centre seat belt is used, the wider seat back must be locked in position, see page 121, otherwise the centre seat belt will not have any restraining effect.< Seat belts, see page 44.
