Alarm system
Principle
The alarm system issues a visual and acoustic
signal when someone attempts to open the
locked vehicle incorrectly.
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 flashing 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 turned on as soon as the
vehicle is locked from the outside.
The alarm system is not switched on if the
vehicle is locked from a greater distance with
the My BMW App or manually from the inside.
The alarm system is switched off as soon as
the vehicle is unlocked.
