Forced deadlock release
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 2017 BMW X3, 2016 BMW X3, 2015 BMW X3, 2014 BMW X3, and 2013 BMW X3. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
When the Car Access System (CAS) detects that a remote key is locked in place in the insertion slot, the central locking system is double-unlocked. The central locking system assumes the "Lock" position. The anti-theft alarm system is also deactivated during forced release.
