Opening And Closing - From The Inside - BMW SERIE 3 CONVERTIBLE 2003 Owner's Manual

Opening and closing – from the inside
34
You can use this button to control the
central locking system whenever the
doors are closed. The doors and lug-
gage compartment lid are unlocked or
locked only. The anti-theft 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-
side door, the luggage compartment
lid, the fuel filler door and the glove
compartment will unlock, too.
If the driver's door is closed, it will be
locked.<
If you desire, the central locking
system can be activated automati-
cally as soon as you begin to drive. This
can be adjusted to be key-specific.<
To unlock and open the doors
> Either unlock the doors together with
the button for the central locking sys-
tem 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 lock
> Either use the central locking button
to lock both doors at once or
> press down the individual door lock
buttons. In this case, the fuel filler
door will stay unlocked. To prevent
the driver from being inadvertently
locked out of the vehicle, the driver's
door lock button will not engage as
long as the door is open.
Persons or animals inside the
vehicle may be able to lock the
doors from the inside. You should
always take the vehicle's keys with you
so that you can open the vehicle again
from the outside at any time.<
