Opening And Closing - Via The Remote Control - BMW M5 2002 Owner's Manual

Opening and closing – via the remote control
28n
The concept
The remote control gives you an excep-
tionally convenient method for
unlocking and locking your vehicle.
Furthermore, it provides two additional
functions that can only be executed by
means of the remote control:
> To switch on interior lamps, refer to
page 29
With this function, you can also
"search for" your vehicle – when
parked in an underground garage, for
instance
> To open the luggage compartment
lid, refer to page 29
The luggage compartment lid will
open slightly, regardless of whether it
was previously locked or unlocked
> Panic mode, refer to page
In case of danger, you can trigger an
alarm.
When you unlock (lock) your vehicle the
system automatically deactivates (acti-
vates) the anti-theft system and disarms
(arms) the alarm system while also
switching on (off) the interior lamps.
You can have a signal set as an
acknowledgment message that
the vehicle is closed correctly.<

Master keys with remote control
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.<
Master keys that are used repeat-
edly are always ready for opera-
tion, since the battery in the key is
charged automatically in the ignition
lock as you drive.
If it is no longer possible to unlock the
vehicle via the remote control, the
battery is discharged. Use this key
while driving for an extended period in
order to recharge the battery. For more
information refer to page 26.
Prevent unauthorized use of the remote
control by surrendering e. g. only the
door and ignition key 3 or the spare
key 2 (refer to page 26) when leaving
the vehicle for valet parking.
In the event of a system malfunction,
please contact your BMW center, which
is also your source for replacement
keys.<
