Central Locking System; Opening And Closing From The Outside - BMW M COUPE 2002 Owner's Manual

Central locking system

32n
The concept
The central locking system becomes
operational when the doors are closed.
The system simultaneously engages
and releases the locks on the
> doors
> luggage compartment
> fuel filler door.
The central locking system can be
operated
> from outside via the door locks and
the luggage compartment lock
(M coupe: open only)
> from inside via the safety lock
buttons (locks doors only).
When the system is actuated from
outside the vehicle, the anti-theft
protection is simultaneously activated.
It prevents the doors from being
unlocked with the lock buttons or
release handles.
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

With the key
Do not lock the vehicle if there are
persons still inside, as it cannot be
unlocked from the inside.<
Convenience locking mode
The electric power windows can also
be closed via the door locks:
When the doors are closed, hold the
key in the "Lock" position.
Watch the closing process care-
fully and be sure that no one is
trapped by the closing motion. The
movement stops when you release the
key.<
Manual operation
(in the event of electrical malfunction)
Turn the key all the way to the extreme
left or right to unlock/lock the driver's
door.
