General information
When the vehicle is locked, the vehicle alarm
system reacts to the following changes:
▷ Opening a door, the hood, or the cargo
area.
▷ Movements in the interior.
▷ Changes in the vehicle inclination, such
as during attempts at stealing a wheel or
when towing the vehicle.
▷ Disconnected battery voltage.
▷ Improper use of the socket for OBD on-
board diagnostics.
▷ Locking the vehicle while a device is con-
nected to the diagnostic socket.
The alarm system signals these changes visu-
ally and acoustically:
▷ Acoustic alarm:
Depending on local regulations, the acous-
tic alarm may be suppressed.
▷ Optical alarm:
By blinking of the hazard warning system
and headlights, where required.
Do not modify the system to ensure function of
the alarm system.
Turning the alarm system on/off
The alarm system is activated or deactivated
as soon as the vehicle is locked or unlocked.
If you lock your vehicle from a remote distance
using the BMW app, the alarm system is not
activated.
Opening the doors with the alarm
system switched on
The alarm system is triggered when a door
is opened if the door was unlocked using the
integrated key in the door lock.
