item in the i-Drive, but not in
driving mode.
To initialize a new hand transmitter, perform the following operations from

- Within 5 seconds: Switch ignition lock from terminal "0" to terminal "R"
and then back to terminal "0"
- Within 5 seconds: Press OFF button (1) on hand transmitter and with OFF
button (1) held down press ON
button (2) three times quickly
- Release both buttons. LED (3) on hand transmitter flashes
NOTE: The vehicle's central locking closes and opens automatically on
successful
initialization.
The initialization process must be repeated if there is no check back signal
from
the central locking system.
