Opening And Closing: From Inside - BMW 2006 X5 Owner's Manual

Opening and closing: from inside

34n
This button serves to unlock or lock
doors and the liftgate, but does not
activate the anti-theft system. The fuel
filler door remains unlocked.
You have the option of setting the
central locking system to lock
automatically as soon as you begin to
drive. This can be set to be key-
specific.<
If only the driver's door was
unlocked from the outside and
you press the button
> all other doors, the liftgate/tailgate
and the fuel filler door will be
unlocked when the driver's door is
opened
> the driver's door will be locked again
when it is closed.<
Unlocking and opening doors
> Either unlock the doors together with
the button for the central locking sys-
tem and then pull the door handle
above the armrest or
> pull the release handle for each door
twice: the first pull unlocks the door,
and the second one opens it.
Locking
> Use the central locking button to lock
all of the doors simultaneously, or
> press down the individual lock but-
tons. As an added design feature to
prevent the driver from being inad-
vertently locked out of the vehicle,
the driver's lock button will not
engage as long as the door is open.
When the vehicle is moving, do
not lock the doors with the lock
buttons. Doors locked in this manner
would not unlock automatically in the
event of an accident.
Since passengers or animals remaining
in the vehicle might be able to lock the
doors from the inside, take the vehicle's
keys with you so that the vehicle can be
opened again from the outside at any
time.<
