Keys/remote controls
Each remote control contains a rechargeable
battery that is automatically recharged when it
is in the ignition lock while the car is being
driven. Use each remote control at least twice a

batteries' charge status. In cars with convenient
access
*
, the remote control contains a replace-
able battery, refer to page 37 .
The settings called up and implemented when

control is used to unlock the car, refer to Per-

ments is stored in the remote control, refer to

Personal Profile
The concept
You can set many of your BMW's functions to
suit your personal needs and preferences.
Without any action on your part, Personal Pro-
file ensures that most of these settings are
stored for the remote control currently in use.
When you unlock the car, the remote control
used for the purpose is recognized and the set-
tings stored for it are called up and imple-
mented.
This means that your personal settings will be
activated for you, even if in the meantime your
car was used by someone else with another
remote control and the corresponding settings.
The individual settings are stored for up to three
remote controls.
