Central locking system
The principle
The central locking becomes active when
the driver's door is closed. The following
are unlocked or locked in combination:
>
Doors
>
Luggage compartment lid
>
Tank flap.
The central locking system can be oper-
ated from outside
>
Via the remote control
>
Via the driver's door lock
>
With convenient access, via the door
handles, and
From the inside, via the central locking
button.
When operated from the outside, the dead-
locks are engaged at the same time. This
prevents the doors from being unlocked
either at the safety lock buttons or door
handles. The alarm system is also activated
or deactivated.
In the event of an accident, the central
locking is released automatically; this only
applies, however, to doors that have not
specifically been locked via the safety lock
buttons, see page 34. The hazard warning
flashers and the inside light are in addition
switched on.
Opening and closing from
the outside
With the remote control
When the car is unlocked or locked, the
deadlocks are also unlocked/locked, the
alarm system deactivated/activated, and
the interior light switched on/off.
You can have various signals selected
to confirm that the car has been
locked correctly.
<
On certain national-market versions,
the alarm system can only be oper-
ated by the remote control. Opening these
cars with a key triggers off the alarm.
To switch off the alarm: Unlock the car
using the remote control, see page 31,or
engage the remote control in the ignition
lock.

Persons remaining in the car or pets
left inside can lock the doors from the
inside. Always take the remote control with
you, so that the car can be opened from the
outside.

If the car cannot be locked with the
remote control, the battery in the
remote control is flat. Use this remote
control when driving a relatively long
distance, to recharge its battery; see also
page 30.
In the event of faults, contact BMW
Service, where spare keys can be
obtained.
