Opening And Closing - From Inside - BMW 323I Owner's Manual

Opening and closing – from inside
38n
Use this button to operate the central
locking system when the front doors
are closed. The doors and luggage
compartment lid are unlocked or locked
only. The antitheft alarm system is not
activated.
If only the driver's door was un-
locked from the outside and you
press the button
> all other doors, the luggage compart-
ment lid and the fuel filler door will be
unlocked when the driver's door is
opened.
> the driver's door will be locked again
when it is closed.<
If you desire, the central locking
system will secure the locks as
soon as you start to drive. This can be
adjusted to be key-specific.<
To unlock and open the doors
> Either unlock the doors together with
the button for the central locking sys-
tem and then pull each of the release
handles above the armrests
or
> pull the release handle for each door
twice: The first pull unlocks the door,
and the second one opens it.
Doors locked from outside can be
opened from inside by first press-
ing the button and then pulling a re-
lease handle twice.<
To engage the locks
> Use the central locking button to lock
all doors at once
or
> press the individual safety lock but-
tons down. The fuel filler door then
remains unlocked. As an added
design feature to prevent the driver
from being inadvertently locked out
of the vehicle, the driver's door safety
lock button will not engage as long as
the door is open.
Children might be able to lock the
doors from the inside. For this rea-
son, always take the vehicle's keys with
you so that the vehicle can be opened
again from the outside at any
