To arm and disarm the alarm system
When you lock (or unlock) the vehicle,
either with the remote control unit or at the
door lock, the alarm system is armed (or
disarmed) at the same time.
The system indicates that is has been
correctly armed by switching on the hazard
warning flashers for a single cycle and by
emitting an acoustic signal.
You can have different acknowledg-
ment signals set to confirm arming
and disarming.<
Even with the alarm system armed, you can
open the luggage compartment lid using
the button 3 on the remote control
unit, refer to page 36. The alarm system will
start to monitor the luggage compartment
lid again as soon as it is reclosed.
Indicator lamp displays
The indicator lamp below the interior

The indicator lamp flashes when the

system is armed: door(s), the hood or
luggage compartment lid are not
completely closed. Even if you do not close
the alerted area, the system begins to
monitor the remaining areas, and the indi-
cator lamp flashes continuously after
10 seconds. However, the interior motion
sensor is not activated

system is disarmed: no manipulation or
attempted intrusions have been detected in
the period since the system was armed
>
5 minutes when you disarm the system, or
until the remote control unit is inserted in
the ignition lock: an attempted entry has
been detected in the period since the
system was armed.
Following triggering of an alarm, the indi-
cator lamp will flash continuously.
Avoiding unintentional alarms
The tilt alarm sensor and interior motion
sensor may be switched off at the same
time. You can do this to prevent a false
alarm from being triggered (in garages with
elevator ramps, for instance), or when the
vehicle is transported by trailer or train:
Lock the vehicle, i. e., arm the alarm system
twice in a row by pressing button 2 on the
remote control unit twice in succession,
refer to page 36, or lock the vehicle twice
using the key, refer to page 37.
The indicator lamp flashes briefly and then
flashes continuously. The tilt alarm sensor
and the interior motion sensor are switched
off long as the system is armed.

can be switched off permanently. Please
contact your BMW center for
Interior motion sensor
In order for the interior motion sensor to
function properly, the windows and sliding/
tilt sunroof must be completely closed.
Be sure to deactivate the interior motion
sensor, see section on Avoiding uninten-
tional alarms, when you wish to leave the
windows or sliding/tilt sunroof open.
