Opening And Closing - From Inside - BMW AG Owner's Handbook Manual

Opening and closing – from inside
This button is used to operate the cen-
tral locking system when the front
doors are closed. This only locks or
unlocks the doors and the luggage
compartment lid, but does not engage
the deadlocks.
If you wish, the central locking
system can be set to engage as
soon as the car is driven away. You can
have this setting programmed as part of
the Key Memory facility.<
Unlocking and opening
1. Press the button for central locking
2. The handles are above the armrests:
pull the handle of the door in ques-
tion
or
pull the door handle out twice at any
door: to unlock and open.
Locking
> Either lock all doors by pressing the
central locking button, or
> press the door safety buttons down.
To avoid being shut out of the car
accidentally, the driver's door cannot
be locked with the safety button
when it is open.
The doors can be locked from the
inside by persons or animals in the
passenger compartment. Always take
the key with you, so that the car can be
opened from the outside.<
You can have an acoustic signal
set to sound as a reminder if you
open the driver's door without removing
the key from the ignition beforehand.<
