Opening And Closing - From The Inside - BMW X5 2000 Manual

Opening and closing – from the inside
40n
You can operate the central locking
system with this button (arrow) when
the driver's door is closed. The doors
and liftgate are unlocked or locked
only. However, the antitheft alarm
system is not activated. Also, the fuel
filler door remains unlocked to allow
refueling.
If only the driver's door was un-
locked from the outside and you
press the button
> all other doors, the liftgate and the
fuel filler door will be unlocked when
the driver's door is opened.
> 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 the locks
> Use the central locking button to lock
all of the doors simultaneously, or
> press down the individual door lock
buttons. The fuel filler door remains
unlocked. As an added design fea-
ture to prevent the driver from being
inadvertently locked out of the vehi-
cle, 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 the safety
lock buttons. Doors locked in this man-
ner 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 vehicle from the
outside at all times.<
