Car Memory, Key Memory  
55n  
When your vehicle is unlocked with the  
remote control, the vehicle recognizes  
the individual user by means of a data  
exchange with the key, and makes ad-  
justments accordingly.  
In order for you to distinguish between  
different keys, colored decals are sup-  
plied together with the keys.  
What the system can do  
Your BMW center can provide you with  
details on the capabilities of the Car  
Memory and Key Memory systems.  
How the system functions  
You have probably frequently wished  
that you could configure individual  
functions of your vehicles to reflect your  
own personal requirements. In engi-  
neering your vehicle, BMW has in-  
cluded several user-defined functions  
in the vehicle's design. Your BMW cen-  
ter can make these settings for you.  
You will see this symbol through-  
out the Owner's Manual. It is to re-  
mind you at appropriate places of the  
settings that are available to you.<  
An example of Key Memory is the auto-  
matic adjustment of the driver's power  
seat with stored settings for the individ-  
ual person when the vehicle is un-  
locked.  
There are settings related to the vehicle  
("Car Memory") and settings related to  
individuals ("Key Memory"). You can  
have two different basic settings ad-  
justed for two different persons. The  
only requirement is that each person  
uses his or her own remote control key.
