Central lock (BMW 5 Series E34)

Closing with a key

When the doors or trunk are locked with the key, or when the interior locking button on the driver's door is lowered, all doors, the trunk and the fuel filler door are locked.

In the event of an accident, all locks open automatically, after which the hazard warning lights and interior lighting are turned on.

When the driver's door is open, the interior lock button cannot be pressed. This prevents the vehicle from being accidentally locked.

Anti-theft system

Turns on automatically when the car is locked from the outside (all doors are also locked).

The key can only be removed when the slot is in a vertical position.

Warning: Do not lock the car if there are people inside - it will be impossible to open the doors from the inside.

Automatic closing of windows and sunroof with electric drive

Hold the key in the closed driver's door lock in one of the two extreme positions, this will close the open windows and sunroof.

Opening the car

If the central locking electric drive fails, only the passenger door can be opened.

To do this, lift the door handle and turn the key to the "Open" position, moving it past the point of resistance.



When the door is subsequently closed, the anti-theft system is activated by turning the key past the resistance point.

Note: If the front passenger door lock button does not drop down after the doors are closed normally, try opening the doors again using the emergency opening method, and then close them as described previously.

Opening doors from the outside: Lift the door handle.

Driver's door lock heating*

The heating time is set automatically.

Opening doors from the inside

Lift the lock button and pull the handle above the armrest.

Warning: If small children are left in the car, they may lock the doors from the inside. Therefore, when leaving the car, always take the keys with you so that you can reopen the car from the outside at any time.
