Absence of ID transmitter
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 BMW 760Li. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The following exceptional circumstances could arise:
The engine must be running. The ID transmitter is removed from the vehicle.
Example: After changing drivers, the front passenger leaves the vehicle, taking the ID transmitter with him.
- The engine is not automatically switched off as an automatic engine shutdown is prohibited by law.
- If a door is opened and then closed again, a Check-Control message will appear.
- When the engine is switched off, the engine can be restarted within the space of 10 seconds.
This possibility is important, for example if the engine is switched off at a level crossing and there is no ID transmitter inside the vehicle
For safety, it is advisable to carry the spare key with you. In conjunction with the adapter, the spare key allows drive authorization. This means that the vehicle can still be driven, even without an ID transmitter.
