BMW 8 Coupe Series, Owner'S Handbook Manual

Page: 93 / 390

General
The behaviour of the vehicle in the case of con‐
tactless locking and unlocking depends on the
following settings, see page
103 :
▷ Whether automatic unlocking is active.
▷ Whether automatic locking is active.
▷ Whether only the driver's door and the fuel
filler flap or all vehicle access points are un‐
locked.
Only driver's door and fuel filler flap: driver's
door and fuel filler flap are only unlocked
when the driver approaches the vehicle on
the driver's side.
All vehicle access points: the vehicle is un‐
locked regardless of which side the driver ap‐
proaches the vehicle from.
▷ Whether the locking and unlocking of the ve‐
hicle is acknowledged with a light signal or an
acoustic signal.
▷ Whether the welcome light, see page 165 , is
switched on when the vehicle is unlocked.
▷ Whether the headlight courtesy delay feature,
see page
165 , is activated when the vehicle
is locked.
▷ Whether the exterior mirrors are automatically
folded out and in when the vehicle is un‐
locked and locked.
If the vehicle is unlocked and opened with the re‐
mote control without starting the engine, it can‐
not then be locked using contactless locking.
If there is a second remote control inside the ve‐
hicle during the locking process, it is ignored and
the vehicle is locked.
If the remote control remains within the unlock‐
ing zone without moving for a prolonged period
of time, the vehicle is locked automatically.
Operating requirements
▷ Contactless unlocking of the vehicle can be
used within a radius of approx. 1 m, 3 ft
around the door handles.
▷ The drive-ready state must be switched off in
order to use contactless vehicle locking.
▷ All vehicle doors must be closed in order to
use contactless vehicle locking.
▷ The system must not detect anyone sitting
on the front passenger seat and the passen‐
ger seat belt must not be inserted in the belt
buckle in order to use contactless vehicle
locking.
▷ There must not be a second remote control
within the locking zone in order to use con‐
tactless vehicle locking.
▷ Contactless locking and the anti-theft alarm
system are only activated when the driver
leaves a radius of approx. 2 m, 7 ft around the
door handles with the remote control.
BMW Digital Key
Principle
BMW Digital Key allows you to use a compatible
smartphone, see page
71 , to lock, unlock and
start the vehicle.
General
BMW Digital Key is country-specific and may be
unavailable.
To unlock and start a vehicle with a compatible
smartphone, a digital key must be installed on
the smartphone. Digital keys are installed, man‐
aged and passed on via the BMW Connected
app.
A driver profile, see page
98 , with individual
settings can be assigned to a digital key.
When using a digital key, always have a remote
control about your person too, so the vehicle can
still be accessed even if your smartphone is not
working. It is also useful to have the remote con‐
trol about your person if the vehicle has to be
handed over to another person or a service de‐
partment. You can then hand over the remote
control, instead of your smartphone.
