Vehicle Memory, Key Memory - BMW X5 2003 Owner's Manual

Vehicle Memory, Key Memory

How the system functions
You have probably frequently wished
that you could configure individual
functions of your vehicle to reflect your
own personal requirements. In engi-
neering your vehicle, BMW has
included several user-defined func-
tions in the vehicle's design. Your
BMW Sports Activity Vehicle center can
make these settings for you.
There are settings related to the vehicle
– Vehicle Memory – and settings related
to individuals – Key Memory. You can
configure up to four different basic
positions for four different persons. The
only requirement is that each person
uses his or her own remote control key.
When your vehicle is unlocked with the
remote control, the vehicle recognizes
the individual user by means of a data
exchange with the key, and makes
adjustments accordingly.
In order for you to distinguish between
the remote control master keys, colored
decals are supplied together with the
keys.
What the system can do
Your BMW Sports Activity Vehicle
center can provide you with details on
the capabilities of the Vehicle Memory
