BMW Universal Transmitter The concept The BMW Universal Transmitter replaces up to three hand-held transmitters of different devices such as garage door openers, alarm systems, or door locking systems. The BMW Universal Transmitter recognizes and “learns” the transmitted signal of each of the original hand-held transmitters. The signal of an original hand-held transmitter can be programmed on one of the three channel keys. Following that, each of the devices can be actuated with the appropriately-programmed channel key. The indicator lamp flashes to confirm transmission of the signal. If the vehicle is sold, the memory of the channel keys should be cleared as described on page 117. During programming and before every remote actuation of a programmed device by the BMW Universal Transmitter, check to be sure that there are no persons, animals or 
Park Distance Control (PDC)* The concept The PDC assists you when you are parking. Acoustical signals inform you of the distance to an obstacle. To do this, four ultrasonic sensors in the front and rear bumpers each measure the distance to the nearest object. The detection range of the front sensors and the two sensors located at the ends of the rear bumper is approximately 2 ft (60 cm), while the rear center sensors can detect objects to a distance of roughly 5 ft (1.50 m). 91n Acoustical signals The distance from an obstacle is indicated in front with a higher intermittent tone, and at the rear with a lower intermittent tone. As the distance between vehicle and object decreases, the intervals between the tones become shorter. A continuous tone indicates the presence of an object less than approx. 1 ft (30 cm) away. The warning signal is canceled after approx. 3 seconds if you are
