You can use the integrated key to lock and unlock the following: > the storage compartment under the front armrest > the driver's door > the luggage compartment lid Inside the storage compartment, you will also find the switch for locking the luggage compartment lid separately, refer to page 35. If you then lock the storage compartment under the center armrest, refer to page 114, and hand over only the remote control, this will prevent unauthorized access to the vehicle through the luggage compartment lid. This is an advantage in a hotel, for example. Remote control with integrated key Each remote control contains a battery which is automatically charged in the ignition lock while driving. Drive a longer distance with each remote control at least twice a year to keep the battery charged. For Comfort Access*, the remote control contains a replaceable battery, refer to page 39.

Information on the required maintenance is also stored in the remote control, refer to CBS Condition Based Service, page 205. New remote controls New remote controls, additional or when lost, can be obtained from your BMW center. Spare key Store the spare key in a safe place such as your wallet.
