Opening And Closing - From The Inside - BMW SERIE 5 SPORT WAGON 2001 Manual

Opening and closing – from the inside
42n
You can operate the central locking
system with this button when the
driver's door is closed. With this button,
only the doors, the luggage compart-
ment lid/tailgate and rear window are
unlocked or locked. The anti-theft
system is not activated. Also, the fuel
filler door remains unlocked to allow
refueling.
The central locking system can be
locked automatically as soon as
you begin to drive if you desire. You
may also have this adjusted so that it is
specific to keys.<
If only the driver's door was un-
locked from the outside and you
press the button
> all other doors, the luggage compart-
ment lid/tailgate and rear window
and the fuel filler door will be
> unlocked if the driver's door is open
> the driver's door will be locked again
when it is closed.<
To unlock and open the doors
> Either unlock the doors together
with the button for the central locking
system 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.
To engage locks
> 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.
When the vehicle is moving, do
not lock the doors with their lock
buttons since doors locked in this
manner would not open automatically in
the event of an accident.
Children might be able to lock the
doors from the inside. For this reason,
you should always remove the key and
take it with you to be sure that you will
be able to unlock the car from the out-
side at all times.<
