Alarm system*
Principle The alarm system reacts if: > Opening a door, the engine compartment
lid, the luggage compartment lid/tailgate or the rear window*
> There is any movement inside the car: inte- rior movement detector, see further below > The car's inclination changes, for instance if an attempt is made to jack it up and steal the wheels or to raise it prior to towing away > There is an interruption in the power supply
from the battery
The alarm will respond briefly as follows to indi- cate unauthorised attempts to access the car: > Acoustic alarm > Activation* of the hazard warning system
Arming and disarming Whenever the car is locked or unlocked, either with the remote control or at the door lock, the alarm system is armed or disarmed at the same time. Even when the alarm system is armed, you can open the luggage compartment lid/tailgate by pressing the button on the remote control, see page 31. When you close the luggage com- partment lid/tailgate subsequently, it will be locked and monitored.
Opening certain national-market versions via the door lock triggers off the alarm.<

page 28, or
> Insert the remote control into the ignition as
far as it will go, see page 56.
Indicator lamp displays
> The indicator lamp beneath the inside mir-
ror flashes steadily: the system is armed.
> The indicator lamp flashes after the car has been locked: the doors, luggage compart- ment lid/tailgate or rear window* have not been closed properly. Even if an item is not closed fully, the remaining items are dead- locked and the indicator lamp begins to flash steadily after 10 seconds. However, the interior movement detector is not acti- vated.
> The indicator lamp goes out after the car
has been unlocked: no attempt was made to tamper with the car during your absence.
> If the indicator light flashes after unlocking
until the remote control is inserted in 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 is set off 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 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 the car is being transported by auto-
rail
> If pets are to remain inside the car

Switching off the tilt alarm sensor and interior movement detector Press the again immediately after locking the car. The indicator lamp comes on briefly, then con- tinues to flash steadily. The tilt alarm sensor and interior movement detector are switched off until the car is next unlocked and locked.
Comfort access* Comfort access enables you to access your car without having to take the remote control into your hand. It is sufficient to have the remote control on your person, for example in a jacket pocket. The car automatically recognises your remote control when it is in the immediate vicin- ity or inside the car.
35
Locking Touch the area, arrow 2 on the driver's door or 3 on the other doors, for approx. 1 second. This corresponds to pressing the but- ton. For comfort closing, press the area, arrow 2 or 3 with your finger.
If the car detects a remote control which has been left in the luggage compart-
ment/load area accidentally once the luggage compartment lid/tailgate has been closed, the lid will reopen. The hazard warning system flashes and a signal* sounds.<
Switching on radio readiness Lightly touching the start/stop button switches on radio readiness, see page 56.
Do not depress the brake, otherwise the engine will start immediately.<
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 in the ignition lock, see page 56. If you take the remote control with you when you leave the car with the engine running, a warning light will come on. In addition, a mes- sage will appear on the control display. As long as the car does not detect a remote control, once the engine has been switched off, you will not be able to restart it for approx. 10 seconds.
Switching off the engine, automatic transmission The engine can be switched off only when the selector lever is in position P, see page 58. To switch off the engine with the selector lever in position N, the remote control must be in the ignition lock.
Comfort access supports the following func- tions: > Unlocking/locking the car > Starting the engine > Comfort closing
Operating requirements > The car can only be locked once it has
ascertained that the remote control on your person is not inside the car.
> About two seconds have to elapse before the car can again be unlocked and locked. > The engine can be started only when the car ascertains that the remote control on your person is inside the car.
Special features in contrast to conventional remote control Generally speaking, it makes no difference whether you control the functions outlined above by using comfort access or by pressing the buttons on the remote control. Conse- quently, you should begin by familiarising your- self with the instructions for opening and clos- ing, starting on page 26. The features specific to comfort access are described below.

BMW Service.<
Trap protection If the closing force of a window exceeds a specific value as it closes, the closing action is interrupted immediately and the window reo- pens slightly.
Despite the trap protection function, make sure that the windows are not
obstructed as they close; if this precaution is
37
not taken, the risk remains that thin objects, for instance, could fail to interrupt the closing movement. To restrict the trap protection function, pull the switch beyond its pressure point and hold it in position. In this instance, if the closing force exceeds a specific value the window is opened only a short way. If the switch is pulled beyond the pressure point again within approx. 4 seconds and held in that position, the trap protection function is overrid- den.<
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 comes on.
Press the safety switch when carrying children on the rear seat, otherwise care-
less closing of the windows could result in injury.<
Accessories near the windows If you fit accessories within the window move- ment range, e.g. a clip-on aerial for your mobile phone, the system must be initialised to teach it the new conditions. BMW recommends that you have this work performed by BMW Service.
Glass roof, electric*
Observe the glass roof during the closing procedure, to avoid any injuries.
Take the remote control with you when you leave the car, otherwise children could operate the roof and possibly injure themselves.<
38
Raising Press the switch. > If the glass roof is closed, it is raised and the
sliding trim opens slightly.
> If the glass roof is open, it automatically moves to the raised position. The sliding trim remains fully open.
Do not close the sliding trim forcibly with the roof in the raised position, as this
could damage the mechanism.<
Opening, closing > Push the switch back as far as the pressure
point. The glass roof and sliding trim open in uni- son for as long as you hold the switch in position.
> Push the switch back beyond the pressure
point. The glass roof and sliding trim open auto- matically. Press the switch again briefly to halt the opening movement.
The glass roof is closed in the same way by slid- ing the switch forwards. The sliding trim remains open and can be closed manually. For comfort operation using the remote control or door lock, see page 28 or 30. Comfort closing with comfort access see Lock- ing on page 36.
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. Further to this, the following movements are automated: > When the roof is open, press the switch in the direction for raising: the roof moves to the fully raised position.
> When the roof is raised, press the switch in the direction for opening: the roof moves to the fully open position.
Pressing the switch again stops this movement.
Trap protection If the glass roof encounters an obstruction dur- ing closing from approximately the centre of the roof aperture, or during closing from the raised position, the closing movement is interrupted and the glass roof is 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. The trap protection function is overridden by pressing the switch beyond its pressure point and holding it in position.<
After a power failure After a power failure, it is possible that the roof will only move to the raised position. The sys- tem must be initialised. BMW recommends that you have this work performed by BMW Service.
Manual operation In the event of an electrical fault, you can move the glass roof manually: 1. Fold the cover down, possibly with the aid
of the screwdriver from the toolkit, see page 192.
2.
Insert the Allen key from the toolkit, see page 192, into the designated aperture. Turn the glass roof in the desired direction. To close, turn in the direction indicated by the arrow.
Touring: 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.<
39
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. The trap protection function is overridden by pressing the switch beyond its pressure point and holding it in position.<
After a power failure After a power failure, it is possible that the roof will only move to the raised position. The sys- tem must be initialised. BMW recommends that you have this work performed by BMW Service.
Manual operation In the event of an electrical fault, you can move the roof manually: 1. Fold the cover down, possibly applying the
screwdriver from the toolkit at the point indicated, see page 192.
Raising, opening, closing
Press the switch or push it in the required direc- tion as far as the pressure point. The sliding trim is opened: > In unison with the roof > A short distance when the roof is raised When the roof is closed or in the raised position, the sliding trim can be opened or closed inde- pendently. For comfort operation using the remote control or door lock, see page 28 or 30. Comfort closing with comfort access see Lock- ing on page 36.
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.

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 53.
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 off. 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 he/she 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.
42
The locations of the airbags and additional notes are given on page 90.
Head restraints 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.<
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. Pregnant women should also wear the seat belt, making sure that the strap in the pelvic area is well down on the hips and does not press on the abdominal region of the body. The seat belt must not pass across the neck, become trapped at any point or chafe against any sharp edges. The seat belt should not be twisted and must be positioned firmly over the pelvis and shoulder, as close to the body as possible. It should not pass over hard or fragile objects, otherwise the belt in the pelvic area could slide over the hips in the event of a head-on collision and injure the lower abdomen. Avoid wearing bulky clothing and regularly pull the belt in the upper-body area taut, otherwise its restraining effect could be impaired. Touring: if the centre seat belt is used, the wider backrest must be locked in position, see page 116, otherwise the centre seat belt will not have any restraining effect.< Operating seat belts, see page 47.
Seats
Thigh support*
Note before adjusting
Do not reposition the driver's seat while the car is in motion. The seat could move unexpectedly, leading to the driver losing con- trol of the car, so that an accident could be caused. Do not recline the driver's or front passenger's seat back too far, otherwise there will be a risk of sliding under the seat belt in an accident, so that the belt loses its protective effect.< Observe also the notes on damaged seat belts on page 48 and on the active front head restraint* on page 47.
Adjusting manually
Comply with the notes on page 42, or there may be a risk to your personal
safety.<
1 Forward/back 2 Angle of driver's seat Forward/back: pull the lever up and slide the seat to the preferred position. After releasing the lever, move the seat gently forward or back to make sure it engages properly in position. Angle of driver's seat: pull the lever up and move the seat until the desired angle is obtained. After releasing the lever, move the seat gently forward or back to make sure it engages properly in position.

Active backrest width adjustment*
First adjust the width of the backrest to a com- fortable position, see further above. Using the selected backrest width as the basis, lateral support is automatically adapted to the current driving situation. The extent to which the backrest is adjusted and the speed with which this takes place depend on the program. You can choose from three programs, ranging from comfortable to sporty. Each press of the button switches between the programs: > "Comfort" program: one LED > "Normal" program: two LEDs > "Sport" program: three LEDs To switch off: press and hold down button.
Easy entry/exit* To facilitate entry and exit, the backrest width is temporarily opened fully.
1 Backrest width* 2 Shoulder support* 3 Thigh support* 4 Lumbar support*, see further below Shoulder support: the adjustable upper section of the seat back supports the shoulder area of the occupant's body. This results in a relaxed seated position and reduces the load on the shoulder muscles.
Adjusting lumbar support*
The seat back contour can be altered to provide more support to the curved, lumbar section of the spine.
44
Seat, mirror and steering wheel position memory*
You can memorise and call up two different positions for the driver's and front passenger's seat*, the outside mirrors and the steering wheel. The lumbar support setting is not stored in the position memory.

The indicator lamp comes on and an acoustic signal sounds. In addition, a message will appear on the control dis- play. Please check whether the seat belt is fas- tened correctly. The 'Fasten seat belts' reminder is issued as long as the driver's seat belt has not been fas- tened. On certain national-market versions, the 'Fasten seat belts' reminder is also activated at road speeds above approx. 8 km/h, approx. 5 mph, if the front passenger's seat belt is not fastened, if heavy objects are placed on the front passenger seat, or if the driver or front passenger unfasten their seat belts.
