Passive Go

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.

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 insert compartment).

Engine start is not possible if an ID transmitter is detected inside 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).

An ID transmitter must be located inside the vehicle when the START/STOP button is pressed. Otherwise, the instrument cluster will display a Check-Control message.

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. On vehicles with automatic transmission, the brake pedal 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 authorization). This safety measure is required for possible emergencies.
