Vehicle Memory, Key Memory - BMW SERIE 3 COUPE 2002 Owner's Manual

Vehicle Memory, Key Memory

How the system functions
No doubt you have reflected at one
time or another on how great it would
be if you could permanently configure
your vehicle's various features and
adjustments to mirror your own indi-
vidual preferences. In engineering your
vehicle, BMW has incorporated a
number of options for personal adjust-
ment that can be programmed into your
vehicle at your BMW center.
The available configuration data fall into
two categories, according to whether
their primary orientation is the vehicle
(Vehicle Memory) or the individual (Key
Memory). Provided that each person
has a separate remote-control key, you
can have your BMW center enter
adjustment data for as many as four
different individuals into the system.
The system then relies on a bilateral
data exchange to identify the individual
user and dial in the selected settings
whenever the remote control unit is
used to disengage the door locks.
Color-coded decals have been
provided to help you distinguish indi-
vidual keys with different settings.
What the system can do
Your BMW center can provide you with
details on the capabilities of the Vehicle
Memory and Key Memory systems. A
few examples follow below:
Examples for Vehicle Memory:
> Various signals as acknowledgment
when locking or unlocking your
vehicle, refer to page 29,
> Activates/deactivates the "Follow me
home" function, refer to page
> Activates/deactivates daytime driving
lamps, refer to page 77.
Examples for Key Memory:
> Locks the vehicle when you start off,
refer to page
> Automatically adjusts the driver's
seat to the personal programmed
settings when the vehicle is
unlocked, refer to page
> Unlocks driver's door first, then
proceeds to disengage the vehicle's
remaining locks, refer to page 29.
