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.
New remote controls To obtain additional or replace lost keys, new remote controls with an integrated key are available at your BMW Sports Activity Vehicle Center.
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 three 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
Opening and closing
Keys/remote control
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 38. 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 28. Information on the required maintenance is also stored in the remote control, refer to Service data in remote control, page 245.

Vehicle Center.<
Windows
To prevent injuries, exercise care when closing the windows and keep them in
your field of vision until they are shut. Always take along the remote control when you leave the vehicle, otherwise children could, for example, operate the windows and injure them- selves.<
Opening, closing
> Press switch to resistance point:
The window continues to open as long as you keep the switch pressed.
38
> Press switch beyond resistance point:
The window opens automatically. Pressing the switch again stops the opening move- ment.
You can close the windows in the same manner by pulling the switch. Separate switches for the rear windows are located in the rear. For information on using convenient operation at the door lock or with the remote control, refer to page 30 or 32. For information on comfort closing with comfort access, refer to page 37.
After switching off ignition You can still operate the windows with the remote control removed or the ignition switched off for approx. 1 minute, as long as neither of the front doors has been opened.
Pinch protection system If the closing force rises beyond a predefined threshold during closing, the system will stop moving the window prior to lowering it again slightly.
Despite the pinch protection system, inspect the window's travel path prior to
closing it, as the safety system might fail to detect certain kinds of obstructions, such as thin objects, and the window would continue closing. Do not install any accessories in the range of movement of the windows, otherwise the pinch protection system will be impaired.<
Closing without pinch protection system In case of danger from outside or if, for example, ice on the window prevents normal closing, pro- ceed as follows: 1. Pull the switch beyond the resistance point
and hold. The pinch protection system is limited and the window opens slightly if the closing force exceeds a certain value.
2. Pull the switch beyond the resistance point
and hold again within approx. 4 seconds.
The window closes without the pinch pro- tection system.
Safety switch
With the safety switch, you can prevent the rear windows from being opened or closed via the switches in the rear passenger area, by chil- dren, for example. The LED lights up when this safety feature is activated.
Always press the safety switch when chil- dren ride in the rear, otherwise uncon- trolled closing of the windows could lead to injuries.<
Panorama glass sunroof* The panorama glass sunroof is ready for opera- tion with the ignition switched on, refer to page 59.
To prevent injuries, exercise care when closing the panorama glass sunroof and
keep it in your field of vision until it is closed. Always take along the remote control when you leave the vehicle, otherwise children could, for example, operate the roof and injure them- selves.<
Raising, opening, closing
Raising Press the switch. The closed sunroof is raised and the sliding visor opens slightly.
Do not use force to close the sliding visor with the glass sunroof in its raised posi-
tion, otherwise the mechanism will be dam- aged.<
Opening, closing
Sliding visor You can move the sliding visor independently with the sunroof closed or raised. > Slide the switch back to the resistance
point. The sliding visor opens as long as you keep the switch in this position.
> Briefly press the switch back beyond the
resistance point. The sliding visor will open automatically. Briefly pressing the switch stops the motion.
You can close the sliding visor in a similar man- ner by sliding the switch forwards.
Panorama glass sunroof With the sliding visor open, proceed as described under Sliding visor. For information on using convenient operation at the door lock or with the remote control, refer to page 30 or 32. For information on comfort closing with comfort access, refer to page 37.
Opening and closing sunroof and sliding visor together Briefly press the switch beyond the resistance point twice consecutively. Briefly pressing the switch stops the motion.
Comfort mode > Press the switch twice with the sunroof
open: The sunroof is raised.
39
> When the sunroof is raised, briefly press the
switch twice in the opening direction: The sunroof is opened all the way.
Comfort position In the comfort position, the sunroof is not com- pletely open; this reduces wind noise in the passenger compartment. Each time the panorama glass sunroof is com- pletely opened or closed, it stops in the comfort position. If desired, continue the motion follow- ing this with the switch.
After switching off ignition You can still operate the roof for approx. 1 minute, as long as no door has been opened.
Pinch protection system If the panorama glass sunroof or sliding visor encounter resistance when closing from roughly one third of the sunroof opening or when closing from the raised position, the clos- ing action is interrupted and the panorama glass sunroof and sliding visor reopen a little.
Despite the pinch protection system, inspect the sunroof's travel path prior to
closing it, as the safety system might fail to detect certain kinds of obstructions, such as very thin objects, and the sunroof would con- tinue closing.<
Closing without pinch protection system In case of danger from outside, slide the switch forward beyond the resistance point and hold. The roof closes without the pinch protection system.
Following interruptions in electrical power supply After a power loss, the sunroof may only respond to the raise command. Then have the system initialized. BMW recommends having this work carried out by your BMW Sports Activity Vehicle Center.

Adjusting
Sitting safely The ideal sitting position can make a vital con- tribution to relaxed, fatigue-free driving. In the interaction with the safety belts, the head restraints and the airbags, the seat position plays an important role in an accident. To ensure that the safety systems operate with optimal efficiency, we strongly urge you to observe the instructions contained in the fol- lowing section. For additional information on transporting chil- dren safely, refer to page 55.
Airbags
Always maintain an adequate distance between yourself and the airbags. Always hold the steering wheel by its rim with hands at the 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock positions, to mini- mize the risk of injuries to your hands and arms in the event of airbag deployment. No one and nothing is to come between the air- bags and the seat occupant. Do not use the cover of the front airbag on the front passenger side as a storage area. Make sure that the front passenger is sitting correctly and does not rest feet or legs on the instrument panel, otherwise leg injuries can occur if the front airbag is triggered. Make sure that occupants do not rest their head on the side or head airbag, otherwise injuries can occur if the airbags are triggered.< Even if you adhere to all the instructions, inju- ries resulting from contact with airbags cannot be fully excluded, depending on the circum- stances. The ignition and inflation noise may provoke a mild hearing loss in extremely sensi- tive individuals. This effect is usually only tem- porary. For airbag locations and additional information on airbags, refer to page 97.
42
Head restraint A correctly adjusted head restraint reduces the risk of spinal injury in the event of an accident.
Adjust the head restraint so that its center is approx. at ear level. Otherwise there is
increased danger of injury in the event of an accident.< Push the head restraints of the 3rd row seats* into the top position. Head restraints, refer to page 46.
Safety belts Before every drive, make sure that safety belts are being worn at all of the occupied seats. Air- bags complement the safety belt as an addi- tional safety device, but they do not represent a substitute. Depending on its equipment, your vehicle has either five or seven seats, which are all provided with a safety belt.
Never allow more than one person to wear a single safety belt. Never allow
infants or small children to ride in a passenger's lap. Make sure that the belt lies low around the hips in the lap area and does not press on the abdomen. The safety belt may not lie across the neck, rub on sharp edges, be routed over solid or breakable objects or be pinched. Wear the safety belt without twisting, snugly across the lap and shoulders, as close to the body as pos- sible. Otherwise the belt can slip over the hips in the lap area in a frontal impact and injure the abdomen. Avoid wearing clothing that prevents the belt from fitting properly and pull the belt in the upper body area periodically to readjust the tension, in order to avoid a reduction in the restraint of the safety belt. If the center safety belt in the rear is used, the larger backrest half must be locked, refer to page 123, otherwise the center safety belt has no restraining action.< Safety belts, refer to page 48.
Seats
Thigh support*
Note before adjusting
Never attempt to adjust or calibrate your seat while the vehicle is moving. The seat could respond with unexpected movement, and the ensuing loss of vehicle control could lead to an accident. Never adjust manually adjustable seats while the vehicle is moving, as otherwise the restrain- ing effect of these seats during accidents could be reduced. Also on the passenger side, do not incline the backrest too far to the rear while the vehicle is being driven, otherwise there is a danger in the event of an accident of sliding under the safety belt, eliminating the protection normally pro- vided by the belt.< Also observe the information on damage to safety belts on page 49 and on the height of the head restraints on page 46.
Adjusting manually*
To ensure that the safety systems con- tinue to provide optimized protection,
please observe the adjustment instructions on page 42.<
Pull the lever and adjust the thigh support in the longitudinal direction.
Adjusting electrically
To ensure that the safety systems con- tinue to provide optimized protection,
please observe the adjustment instructions on page 42.<
1 Longitudinal direction 2 Height 3 Seat tilt
Pull the lever and slide the seat to the desired position. After you release the lever, move the seat forward or backward slightly so that it engages fully.
4 Backrest
43
Differs depending on seat:
Lumbar support*
1 Backrest 2 Height Additional depending on seat:
1 Backrest width* 2 Shoulder support* 3 Thigh support* 4 Lumbar support*
Backrest width* The width of the backrest can be changed with the side wings to adjust the side support to your own needs.
Shoulder support* This also supports the back in the shoulder area, provides a relaxed sitting position and helps relieve stress on the shoulder muscles. The shoulder support is also used to adjust the distance of the head restraint from the back of the seat occupant's head.
44
You can also adjust the contour of the backrest to obtain additional support in the lumbar region. The upper hips and spinal column receive sup- plementary support to help you maintain a relaxed, upright sitting position. > Increase or decrease curvature: press front
or rear section of switch.
> Shift curvature up or down: press upper or
lower section of switch.
Seat, mirror and steering wheel memory* You can store and request two different posi- tions for the driver's seat and passenger seat*, exterior rearview mirrors, and steering wheel. The adjustment of the backrest width and lum- bar support is not stored in the memory.
