Panic mode with national versions US and Japan
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 21 other vehicles, including the 2006 BMW Z4, 2006 BMW M3, 2006 BMW M Roadster, 2006 BMW M Coupe, and 2006 BMW 550i. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Panic mode enables attention to be attracted in the event of a threat from the outside or an accident (DWA alarm). Panic mode must be encoded.
In the national versions US and Japan, panic mode can be encoded instead of boot-lid unlocking. The button for boot-lid unlocking then works as a button for panic mode. The button has to be pressed for 3 seconds.
Panic mode can be triggered regardless of DWA status (activated/deactivated). Panic mode is ended when any button on the remote control is pressed. If the emergency power siren fails during panic mode, the acoustic alarm is emitted from the fanfare horn (emergency function).
The duration of the alarm in panic mode is unlimited (until the vehicle battery is flat).
Subject to change.
