3 Series E91 330xi (N52) TOUR
In order to switch the terminal and/or start up the engine, the ID transmitter must simply be located inside the
vehicle (not necessarily in the slot).
On the following models, the luggage compartment counts as part of the interior: E61, E70, E81, E87, E91.
On all other models, it is not possible to start the engine if an ID transmitter is detected in the luggage
compartment.
In principle, the authenticity check required is the same as that for Passive Entry (except that it is run via the
interior aerials).
If there are no ID transmitters inside the vehicle when the START-STOP button is pressed: Check-Control
message on instrument cluster.
Press the START/STOP button to switch the terminals. The terminal switching sequence is as follows: 0 ->
terminal R -> terminal 15 -> terminal R -> 0.
The START/STOP button must be pressed for approximately 500 ms in order to start up the engine. The clutch
pedal or brake pedal (manual transmission or automatic transmission respectively) must be depressed at the
same time.
The engine may be started up in any terminal position.
Once the engine has been switched off, it may be restarted within 5 seconds even if no ID transmitter is
detected inside the vehicle (i.e. no valid drive authorisation). This safety measure is required for possible
emergencies.
Passive Exit
The sensitive area on the outside door handle must be touched (depends on model concerned) for the vehicle to
be locked and then secured. Your hand must touch the middle of the sensitive area for at least 1 second.
If the locking area is touched for approx. 3 seconds, auto-remote closing will start. The side windows and
sliding/tilting sunroof or Panorama glass sunroof on the E61/E91 then close. On the E64, the convertible top
closes. If applicable, the exterior mirrors are folded in.
Auto-remote opening via the outside door handle is not possible.
Terminal R is deactivated when the outside door handle is locked.
Terminal 15 is not deactivated when the vehicle is locked. A Check-Control message appears as a warning
when the driver's door is opened with terminal 15 ON.
Special feature: Comfort Access allows the vehicle to be locked whilst the engine is running.

Note: No convenience closing of the hardtop via the exterior door handle electronics.
It is not possible to close the hardtop via the exterior door handle electronics. Convenience closing is
performed at the lock cylinder.
Disabling an ID transmitter located inside the vehicle
When the vehicle is closed via the outside door handle, any ID transmitter inside the vehicle will be detected.
This ID transmitter is disabled for all Comfort Access functions. However, it is still possible to access the luggage
compartment. The ID transmitter is reactivated when the vehicle is unlocked again.
Disabling an opposing command
When the vehicle is unlocked via the outside door handle, it cannot be locked again for approx. 2 seconds.
Similarly, when the vehicle is locked via the outside door handle, it cannot be unlocked again for approximately 2
seconds.
This allows the user to pull on the outside door handle to check that the vehicle is actually locked.
