Voice command system
The concept The voice command system allows you to con- trol operation of various vehicle systems with- out ever removing your hands from the steering wheel. Individual menu items on the Control Display can be spoken as commands. This frees you of having 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, set the language that applies for the voice command system in order to enable iden- tification of the spoken commands. To set the language of iDrive, refer to page 84.
Symbols in Owner's Manual
{...} Say the specified commands word for word. {{...}} Indicates responses of the voice command system.
Voice commands
Activating voice command system 1. Press the
button.
This symbol on the Control Display and
an acoustic signal tell you that the voice command system can respond to com- mands.
2. Say the command.
The command is displayed on the Control Display.
This symbol is shown on the Control Display
when you can input additional commands.
22
If no other commands are possible, then oper- ate the equipment using iDrive.
Example: selecting a track 1. Switch on Entertainment sound output if
Terminating or canceling voice command system Press the the center console or
button on the steering wheel or in

For example, if you have selected "CD", the system will read aloud the possible commands for operating the CD player and the CD changer*.
Opening help

Notes
The mobile phone can also be operated with voice commands, refer to
page 183.< For voice commands, bear the following in mind: > Say the commands and numbers smoothly and at normal volume, avoiding excessive emphasis and pauses. This also applies to spelling when entering the destination.
> Always issue commands in the language of
the voice command system.
> When selecting a radio station, use the
common 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 sun-
roof* or panorama glass sunroof* closed to avoid interfering outside noise.
> Avoid making other noise in the vehicle
while speaking.

Controls Controls
This chapter is intended to provide you with information for complete control of your vehicle. Its extensive array of features and accessories, both for driving and for your own safety, comfort and convenience, are described here.
Opening and closing
Keys/remote control
Integrated key
1 Remote control with integrated key 2 Spare key 3 Adapter for spare key, in glove compart-
ment
Remote control with integrated key Each remote control contains a battery which is automatically charged in the ignition lock while driving. Drive a longer distance with each remote control at least twice a year to keep the battery charged. For comfort access*, the remote control contains a replaceable battery, refer to page 40. Depending on which remote control is detected by the vehicle during unlocking, different set- tings are called up and carried out in the vehicle, refer to Personal Profile, page 29. Information on the required maintenance is also stored in the remote control, refer to Service data in remote control, page 209.
Press the button 1 to unlock the key. The integrated key fits the following locks: > Glove compartment, refer to page 113
> Sports Wagon: floor panel flap in cargo area,refer to page 118
> Driver's door, refer to page 32
> Luggage compartment lid, refer to page 33.New remote controls To obtain additional or replace lost keys, new remote controls with an integrated key are available at your BMW center.
Spare key Store the spare key in a safe place such as your wallet. This key is not intended for regular use. The spare key and integrated key fit the same locks.
Adapter for spare key The adapter is required so that the vehicle can be started with the spare key or radio readiness can be switched on.
28
Remove the adapter from the holder in the glove compartment and slide the spare key into the adapter before use.
Personal Profile
The concept You can set a number of functions of your BMW individually according to your preferences. Per- sonal Profile ensures that most of these set- tings are stored for the remote control currently in use without you having to do anything. When the vehicle is unlocked, the corresponding remote control is detected and the settings stored for it are called up and carried out. This means that you will always find your BMW set to your own personal settings even if another person with his/her own remote control and settings has used the vehicle since the last time you drove it. The individual settings are stored for a maximum of four remote controls.
Personal Profile settings Details on the settings are provided on the specified pages. > When unlocking with the remote control, either unlock only the driver's door or the entire vehicle, refer to page 30
> Locking the vehicle after a short time or
after starting off, refer to page 32
> Assigning the programmable buttons* on
the steering wheel, refer to page 53
> Settings for the display on the Control Dis-
play: > Brightness of the Control Display, refer

distances, temperature, and pressure, refer to page 84
> Language on Control Display, refer to

and steering wheel*, refer to page 47
> Audio sources, volume and tone settings,
refer to page 153
> Radio, displaying stored stations, refer to
page 156
> Telephone, setting volume, refer to
pages 178, 184
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
29
> Luggage compartment lid or tailgate and
rear window
> Fuel filler door
Operating from outside > via the remote control > via the door lock > with comfort access* via the door handles At the same time, the anti-theft system is also operated. It prevents the doors from being unlocked using the lock buttons or door han- dles. The interior lamps and the courtesy lamps* are also switched on and off with the remote control. The alarm system is armed/ disarmed at the same time. You can find more detailed information on the alarm system on page 37.
Operating from inside Via the button for central locking, refer to page 32. The fuel filler door is not locked. In an accident of sufficient severity, the central locking system automatically unlocks the vehi- cle. In addition, the hazard warning flashers and interior lamps come on.
Opening and closing: from outside

If it is no longer possible to lock the vehicle using the remote control, then the battery is discharged. Use this remote control during an extended drive; this will recharge the battery, refer to page 28.
31
Convenience operation You also have the option of operating the win- dows and the glass sunroof* from the driver's door lock. Turn and hold the key in the positions for unlocking or locking.
Watch during the closing process to be sure that no one is injured. Releasing the
key stops the operation.<
