Opening and closing:
from inside
This button serves to unlock or lock doors and
the luggage compartment lid/tailgate when the
doors are closed, but does not activate the anti-
theft system. The fuel filler door remains
unlocked.
If only the driver's door was unlocked from the
outside and you press the button, then, with the
driver's door still open, the luggage compart-
ment lid/tailgate and the fuel filler door will
unlock, too. If the driver's door is closed, it will
be locked.
If you prefer, the central locking system is
activated automatically as soon as you
begin to drive. You can have the corresponding
adjustment made for each key specifically.
<
Unlocking and opening
> Either unlock the doors together using the
button for the central locking system and
then pull the door handle above the armrest
or
> pull the release handle for each door twice:
the initial pull unlocks the door, and the sec-
ond one opens it.
Locking
> Either use the central locking button to lock
both doors simultaneously, or
> press down the safety lock button of a door.
To prevent you from being locked out, the
open driver's door cannot be locked using
the lock button.
Persons or animals in the vehicle could
lock the doors from the inside. You should
therefore take the key with you when leaving
the vehicle so that the car can be opened from
the outside.
<
Coupe: tailgate
The tailgate swings upward and towards
the rear when it is opened. Make sure that
it has enough clearance. <
Opening from inside the vehicle
If the tailgate has not been locked separately,
you can open it with this button in the footwell
on the driver's side when the vehicle is station-
ary.
Opening from the outside
Press the top half of the BMW emblem or press
the
button on the remote control for approx.
1 second:
The tailgate will open.
