basic menu navigation. The control of the indi- vidual functions is described in connection with the relevant equipment.
Controls
Operate the controller only when traffic and road conditions allow this, to avoid
endangering the car's occupants and other road users by being distracted.<

Voice command system
The concept The voice command system allows you to con- trol operation of various vehicle systems with- out removing your hands from the steering wheel. Individual menu items on the Control Display can be spoken as commands. It is not neces- sary to use the controller. The voice command system transforms your oral commands into control signals for the selected systems and provides support in the form of instructions or questions. The voice command system uses a special microphone located in the area of the interior rearview mirror, refer to page 14.
Precondition Via iDrive, select the language in which the voice command system is operating, so that the spoken commands can be identified. Selecting the language for iDrive, refer to page 85.
Symbols in the Owner's Manual
{...} Say the specified commands word for word. {{...}} Indicates responses of the voice command system.
Saying commands
Activating voice command system 1. Press the
button on the steering wheel
or in the center console.
This symbol on the Control Display and an acoustic signal indicate that the voice command system is ready to receive spo- ken commands.
2. Say the command.
The command appears on the Control Dis- play.
This symbol appears on the Control Display
when you can enter additional commands.

Notes
For information on voice control of the telephone, refer also to the separate
Owner's Manual.< For voice commands, bear in mind the follow- ing: > Pronounce the commands and digits
smoothly and at normal volume, avoiding excessive emphases and pauses. The same applies to spelling when entering a destina- tion for navigation.
> Always speak the commands in the lan-
guage of the voice command system.
> When selecting a radio station, use the
standard pronunciation of the station name.
> For entries in the voice-activated phone
book, only use names in the language of the voice command system and no abbrevia- tions
> Keep the doors, windows and glass roof/
panorama glass roof closed to prevent interference from outside noise.
> Avoid ambient noise in the vehicle while
speaking.

Controls Controls
This chapter is intended to provide you with information for complete control of your vehicle. All features and accessories that are useful for driving and your safety, comfort and convenience, are described here.
Opening and closing
Keys/remote controls
Each remote control contains a rechargeable battery that is automatically recharged when it is in the ignition lock while the car is being driven. Use each remote control at least twice a year for longer road trips in order to maintain the batteries' charge status. In cars with convenient access*, the remote control contains a replace- able battery, refer to page 38. The settings called up and implemented when the car is unlocked depend on which remote control is used to unlock the car, refer to Per- sonal Profile, page 28. In addition, information about service require- ments is stored in the remote control, refer to Service data in the remote control, page 219.
Integrated key
Press button 1 to release the key. The integrated key fits the following locks: > Glove compartment, refer to page 110
> Driver's door, refer to page 3128
> Sedan:
Luggage compartment lid, refer to page 33
New remote controls Your BMW center can supply new remote con- trols with integrated keys as additional units or as replacements in the event of loss.
Personal Profile
The concept You can set many of your BMW's functions to suit your personal needs and preferences. Without any action on your part, Personal Pro- file ensures that most of these settings are stored for the remote control currently in use. When you unlock the car, the remote control used for the purpose is recognized and the set- tings stored for it are called up and imple- mented. This means that your personal settings will be activated for you, even if in the meantime your car was used by someone else with another remote control and the corresponding settings. The individual settings are stored for up to three remote controls.
Personal Profile settings For more information on specific settings, refer to the specified pages. > Response of the central locking system
when the car is unlocked, refer to page 29
> Automatic locking of the vehicle, refer topage 32
> Automatic call-up* of the driver's seat and

> Speed-dependent volume control, refer topage 157
Central locking system
The concept The central locking system is ready for opera- tion whenever the driver's door is closed. The system simultaneously engages and releases the locks on the following: > Doors > Luggage compartment lid/tailgate > Fuel filler door
Operating from outside > Via the remote control > Via the door lock > In cars with convenient access*, via the handles on the driver's and front passen- ger's doors
The anti-theft system is also operated at the same time. It prevents the doors from being unlocked using the lock buttons or door han- dles. In addition, if the remote control is used, the interior lamps and the door's courtesy lamps* are also switched on or off. The alarm
system* is also armed or disarmed. For further details of the alarm system, refer to page 35.
Operating from inside By means of the button for central locking, refer to page 32. In the event of a sufficiently severe accident, the central locking system unlocks automatically. In addition, the hazard warning flashers and inte- rior lamps come on.
Opening and closing: from outside
Using the remote control
Persons or animals in a parked vehicle could lock the doors from the inside. You
should therefore take the remote control with you when you leave the vehicle so that the latter can be opened from outside.<
