Opening And Closing - From The Inside - BMW M3 CONVERTIBLE 2002 Owner's Manual

Opening and closing – from the inside
With this button you operate the central
locking system whenever the doors are
closed. The doors and luggage
compartment lid are unlocked or locked
only. The anti-theft alarm system is not
activated.
If only the driver's door was
unlocked from the outside and
you press the button, then, with the
driver's door still open, the passenger's
door, the luggage compartment lid, the
fuel filler door and the glove compart-
ment will unlock, too.
If the driver's door is closed, it will be
locked.<
The central locking system locks
automatically as soon as you
begin to drive if you desire. You may
also have this adjusted so that it is
specific to keys.<
To unlock and open the doors
> Either unlock the doors together with
the button for the central locking
system and then pull each of the
release handles above the armrests
or
> pull the release handle for each door
twice: the first pull unlocks the door,
and the second one opens it.
To engage locks
> Either use the central locking button
to lock all doors at once, or
> press the individual door lock buttons
down. As an added design feature to
prevent the driver from being inad-
vertently locked out of the vehicle,
the driver's door lock button will not
engage as long as the door is open.
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.<
