Remote control with integrated key
Every remote control contains a rechargeable
battery that is automatically recharged when it
is in the ignition lock while the car is being
driven. Drive a longer distance with each
remote control at least twice annually in order to
keep the battery charged. If your car is fitted
with convenient access
*
, the remote control
will feature a replaceable battery, see page 37.
On the basis of the remote control detected
when unlocking the car, various settings will be
called up in the car and implemented, see Key
Memory on page 29.
In addition, information about service require-
ments is stored in the remote control, see Con-
dition Based Service CBS, page 227.
Integrated key
Press button 1 to release the key.
You can unlock and lock the following items
with the integrated key:
> The storage compartment beneath the
front armrest
> The driver's door
> The luggage compartment lid
The switch for locking the luggage compart-
ment lid separately is located in this storage
compartment, see page 33.
If you now lock the storage compartment
beneath the front armrest, see page 116, and
hand over only the remote control without the
key, it will not be possible to gain access to the
luggage compartment via the lid. This is an
advantage, for example, at hotels.
New remote controls
New remote controls, whether additional ones
or replacements, are available from BMW Serv-
ice.
Spare key
Spare key, to be kept in a safe place, for
instance in a purse or wallet. This key is not
intended for regular use.
The spare key and integrated key fit the same
locks.
