Key Card
Principle
The Key Card allows the vehicle to be unlocked
and locked, as well as started.
General information
The Key Card is available with Comfort Access.
Depending on the national-market version, the
Key Card may not be available.
A digital key that has already been paired with
the vehicle is installed on the Key Card. The digi‐
tal key must be activated via iDrive.

appointment.

vehicle key with you so that the vehicle can be
opened from the outside.
Warning
For some country versions, unlocking from the
inside is only possible with special knowledge.
Persons who spend a lengthy time in the vehi‐
cle while being exposed to extreme tempera‐
tures are at risk of injury or death. Do not lock
the vehicle from the outside when there are
