The brake lamps and the center brake lamp light up.
> Sharp braking:
A larger part of the brake lamps' illuminating surface lights up.
The following airbags are located under the marked covers:
1 Front airbags for driver and front passenger 2 Head airbags in front and rear
82
3 Side airbags in the seat backrests
Protective action
Observe the adjustment instructions on page 38 to ensure the best possible per-
sonal protection.< The front airbags help protect the driver and front passenger by responding to frontal impacts in which safety belts alone cannot pro- vide adequate restraint. When needed, the head and side airbags help provide protection in the event of side impact. The relevant side air- bag supports the side upper body area. The head air bag supports the head. The airbags will purposely not be activated by every collision, e.g. not by more minor acci- dents, certain roll-over situations and rear-end collisions.
Labels in the rear door opening should indicate the status of your rear seat side airbags. If you are uncertain of their status, or wish to have the airbags activated or deacti- vated, please contact your BMW center.< For information on the correct sitting position, refer to page 38.
Do not apply adhesive materials to the cover panels of the airbags, cover them or
modify them in any other way. Do not attach seat covers, cushions or other objects not spe- cifically approved for seats with integral side air- bags to the front seats. Do not hang items of clothing such as coats or jackets over the back- rests. Do not attempt to remove the airbag retention system from the vehicle. Do not mod- ify the individual components of the system or its wiring in any way. This includes the uphol- stered covers on the steering wheel, instrument panel, seats and roof posts, as well as the sides of the roof lining. Do not attempt to remove or dismantle the steering wheel. Do not touch the individual components imme- diately after the system has been triggered, because there is a danger of burns. In the event of malfunctions, deactivation, or triggering of the airbag restraint system, have the testing, repair, removal, and disposal of air- bag generators executed only by a BMW center
or a workshop that works according to BMW repair procedures with correspondingly trained personnel and has the required explosives licenses. Unprofessional attempts to service the system could lead to failure in an emer- gency or undesired airbag activation, either of which could result in personal injury.< Airbag warning information is also provided on the sun visors.
Automatic deactivation of front passenger airbags Your BMW has a seat occupation detection system. By evaluating the weight on the front passenger seat, the system detects whether or not the seat is occupied by a child in the child- restraint system or an adult. > When a child is seated in the child-restraint system, or with an empty seat, the front and side airbags are automatically deactivated on the passenger side.
> When an adult is traveling in the front seat, the front and side airbags remain active on the passenger side.
Although not desired, it can occur in the case of heavier children that the front
passenger airbags remain active, or in the case of very light adults or young persons that the front passenger airbags are deactivated. In these cases, have the person ride in the rear seat, refer to Passenger airbag status lamp below. Do not load the passenger seat with any items in addition to the person to be trans- ported. Do not attach seat covers, seat cushion padding, ball mats or other items to the front passenger seat unless they are specifically rec- ommended by BMW. Do not place any items under the seat. Otherwise, the function of the seat occupation detection could be impaired.<
83
> The lamp illuminates briefly during startup, but then goes out if the seat is empty, or an adult or child of sufficient size is detected. > The lamp remains illuminated when a child
in a rear-facing child-restraint system is detected and indicates that the passenger airbag system is off.
If the lamp is illuminated when the seat is occupied by a very light adult or teenager,
it is recommended that the person sit in the rear.< Find more information about the front passen- ger airbag system and seat occupancy detec- tion in the section Automatic deactivation of front passenger airbags on page 83.
Operational readiness of airbag system
When the remote control is inserted into the ignition lock or the car is radio-ready, refer to page 49, the warning lamp comes on briefly to indicate that the entire airbag system and the belt tensioners are operational.
Airbag system malfunction > The warning lamp does not come on after the remote control has been inserted into the ignition switch
> Warning lamp remains permanently on
In the event of a fault in the airbag system, have it checked without delay, as other- wise there is the risk that the system will not function as intended even if a sufficiently severe accident occurs.<
Passenger airbag status lamp
The indicator lamp located above the rearview mirror indicates whether the front passenger airbag system is active or not active/OFF.
The indicator lamp is used only for the front passenger airbag system. The indi-
cator lamp illuminates to show that the front passenger airbag system is OFF/not active.<

Temperature
Set the desired temperatures indi- vidually for the driver's and front passenger's sides. The automatic climate control
achieves this temperature as quickly as possi- ble regardless of the season, using maximum cooling or heating power if necessary, and then maintains it.
Avoid switching the automatic climate control system frequently from very low to very high temperatures and vice versa. When changes are made quickly in succession, the automatic climate control does not have enough time to achieve the set temperature.<
Maximum cooling
At outside temperatures above 32 7/0 6 and when the engine is running, you obtain a maximum cooling effect as soon as possible. The automatic climate control switches to the lowest temperature and operates in recircu- lated-air mode. Air flows at maximum rate only from the vents for the upper body area. For this reason you should ensure that these vent out- lets are open before selecting this program.
AUTO program
The AUTO program adjusts the air distribution to the windshield and side windows, towards the upper body area and into the footwell for you. The air flow rate and your temperature specifications will be adapted to outside influences as a result of seasonal changes, e.g. sunlight or window condensation. The cooling is switched on automatically with the AUTO program.
Intensity of the AUTO program You can set the intensity of the air supply in the AUTO program. This changes the duration of time during which the vehicle interior is heated or cooled. 1. Open the start menu. 2. Call up "Climate". 3. Select "Automatic programs" and press the
controller.
4. Select the desired area. 5. Press the controller to set the desired inten-
sity.
The selected intensity level of the auto-
matic program is switched on.
Adjusting air flow rate manually

reactivate the automatic mode for the air flow rate with the AUTO button.
Switching the system on/off With the blower at its lowest setting, press the left side of the button to switch off the auto- matic climate control. All indicators go out. Press any button except REST to reactivate the automatic climate control.
AUC Automatic recirculated-air control/Recirculated-air mode
Set the desired operating mode by pressing this button repeatedly: >LEDs off: outside air flows in
continuously.
> Left-hand LED on, AUC mode: a sensor
detects pollutants in the outside air. If nec- essary, the system blocks the supply of out- side air and recirculates the inside air. As soon as the concentration of pollutants in the outside air has decreased sufficiently, the system automatically switches back to outside air supply.
> Right-hand LED on, recirculated-air mode:
the supply of outside air is permanently shut off. The system then recirculates the air currently within the vehicle.
You can activate/deactivate the recirculated-air mode by means of a freely programmable but- ton* in the steering wheel, refer to page 11. If condensation starts to form on the inside window surfaces during operation in the recirculated-air mode, you should switch it off while also increasing the air flow rate as required. The recirculated-air mode should not be used over an extended period of time, as otherwise the air quality inside the car will deteriorate con- tinuously.<
Using residual heat
The heat stored in the engine is used to heat the passenger com- partment, e.g. while stopped at a school to pick up a child.
You can use this function for up to 15 minutes after switching off the engine if it is warm and the battery is sufficiently well charged. The out- side temperature must be below 77 7/25 6. The LED in the button comes on if these condi- tions are met and the function is activated.
Defrosting windows and removing condensation
This program quickly removes ice and condensation from the wind- shield and front side windows. When the program is switched on, the LED comes on.

Practical interior accessories
Integrated universal remote control*
HomeLink is a registered trademark owned by Johnson Controls, Inc.<
The concept The integrated universal remote control can replace as many as three hand-held transmit- ters for various remote-controlled devices, such as door openers and house alarm sys- tems. The integrated universal remote control registers and stores signals from the original hand-held transmitters. The signal of an original hand-held transmitter can be programmed on one of the three mem- ory buttons 1. After this, the programmed memory button 1 will operate the system in question. The LED 2 flashes to confirm trans- mission of the signal. Should you sell your vehicle one day, be sure to delete the stored programs beforehand for your safety, refer to page 94.
To prevent possible damage or injury, before programming or using the inte-
grated universal remote control, always inspect the immediate area to make certain that no peo- ple, animals or objects are within the pivoting or travel range of the device being operated. Com- ply also with the safety instructions supplied with the original hand-held transmitter.<
Checking compatibility
If this symbol appears on the package or in the instructions supplied with the original hand-held transmitter, you can assume that the radio remote control device will be compatible with the integrated universal remote control.
If you have additional questions, please consult your BMW center or call 1-800-
355-3515. You can also visit these websites: www.bmwusa.com or www.homelink.com.
Programming
1 Memory buttons 2 LED
Fixed-code hand-held transmitters 1. Switch on the ignition, refer to page 49. 2. When starting operation for the first time:
Press both outer memory buttons 1 for approx. 20 seconds until the LED 2 flashes. All stored programs are cleared.
3. Hold the original hand-held transmitter at a distance of approx. 2 to 8 in/5 to 20 cm from the memory buttons 1.
The required distance between the hand-held transmitter and the mem- ory buttons 1 depends on the system of the respective original hand-held transmitter used.<
4. Simultaneously press the transmit key on the original hand-held transmitter and the desired memory button 1 on the integrated universal remote control. The LED 2 flashes slowly at first. As soon as the LED 2 flashes rapidly, release both buttons. If the LED 2 does not flash rapidly after approx. 15 sec- onds, alter the distance.
5. To program other original hand-held trans-
mitters, repeat steps 3 and 4.
93
s
The corresponding memory button 1 is now programmed with the signal of the original hand-held transmitter. You can operate the system when the engine is running or when the ignition is switched on.
If the system fails to function even after repeated programming, check whether
the original hand-held transmitter uses an alter- nating-code system. To do so, either read the instructions for the original hand-held transmit- ter or hold down the programmed memory button 1 of the integrated universal remote control. If the LED 2 on the integrated universal remote control flashes rapidly for a short while and then remains lit for about two seconds, the original hand-held transmitter uses an alternat- ing-code system. If it uses an alternating-code system, program the memory buttons 1 as described under Alternating-code hand-held transmitters.<
Alternating-code hand-held transmitters To program the integrated universal remote control, consult the operating instructions for the device to be set. You will find information there on the possibilities for synchronization. When programming hand-held transmitters
that employ an alternating code, please observe the following supplementary instructions:
Programming will be easier with the aid of a second person.<
1. Park your vehicle within the range of the
remote-controlled device.
2. Program the integrated universal remote control as described above in the section Fixed-code hand-held transmitters.
3. Locate the button on the receiver of the
device to be set, e.g. on the drive unit. 4. Press the button on the receiver of the device to be set. After step 4, you have approx. 30 seconds for step 5.
5. Press the programmed memory button 1 of
the integrated universal remote control three times.
