Central Locking System; Opening And Closing - From The Outside; Using The Key - BMW 2002 Z8 Owner's Manual

Central locking system

32n
The concept
The central locking system is ready for
operation whenever the driver's door is
closed. The system engages and
releases the locks on the
> doors
> luggage compartment lid
> fuel filler door
> glove compartment
> cellular phone holder.
The central locking system can be
operated
> from the outside via the driver's door
lock or by using the remote control
> from the inside by pressing a button.
When actuated from inside, the fuel
filler door, glove compartment and cel-
lular phone holder are not locked, refer
to page 36.
When actuated from outside, the anti-
theft system is activated simulta-
neously. This prevents the door handles
from unlocking the doors. The alarm
system is also armed or disarmed.
The central locking system unlocks
automatically in the event of an acci-
dent. In addition, the hazard warning
flashers and interior lamps come on.
Opening and closing – from the outside

upward. Return it to its original position
and allow the detent to engage when

the key a second time will unlock the

ment lid, the fuel filler door, the glove
compartment, and the cellular phone
holder.
If necessary, you can open the fuel filler
door by pressing the button inside the
