Vehicle equipment
This chapter describes all standard, country-spe‐
cific and special equipment available for the
model series. It may therefore describe equip‐
ment and functions which are not installed in
your vehicle, for example on account of the op‐
tional equipment selected or the country specifi‐
cation. This also applies to safety-relevant func‐
tions and systems. Please comply with the
relevant laws and regulations when using the
corresponding functions and systems.

Depending on the equipment, two remote con‐
trols or one remote control and the BMW display

Each remote control contains a replaceable bat‐
tery. Replacing the battery, see page

The button functions can be assigned, depend‐
ing on the equipment and the country specifica‐
tions. For settings, see page

A driver profile, see page 98 , with personalised
settings can be assigned to a remote control.
The remote controls store servicing information.

in, take it with you whenever you leave the vehi‐
cle.
Safety notes
WARNING
Persons remaining in the vehicle or pets left in‐
side can lock the doors from the inside and lock
themselves in. In this case, the vehicle cannot
be opened from the outside. There is a danger
of injury. Carry the remote control with you so
that you can open the vehicle from the outside.
WARNING
With some country specifications, unlocking
from the inside is only possible with special
knowledge.
There is a risk of injury or danger to life if per‐
sons remain in the vehicle for extended periods
and are exposed to extreme temperatures as a
result. Do not lock the vehicle from the outside
when there is someone inside it.
WARNING
Unsupervised children or pets in the vehicle
can set the vehicle in motion and endanger
themselves or other road users, for example by
the following actions:
▷ Pressing the start/stop button.
▷ Release the parking brake.
▷ Opening and closing doors or windows.
▷ Engaging selector lever position N.
▷ Operating vehicle equipment.
There is a risk of accidents or injury. Do not
leave children or pets unsupervised in the vehi‐
cle. When leaving the vehicle, take the remote
