Important Safety Precautions
!
This manual provides important information that
will help you safely operate the BMW DVD Rear
Seat Entertainment System. Please read it
completely before using the system. Failure
to follow the cautions or instructions in this
manual could result in a severe personal injury
accident and/or damage to the system.
It is always important to operate your vehicle in
a safe manner and to avoid distractions while
driving. Under certain driving conditions, you
may need to turn the Rear Seat Entertainment
System ‘OFF’ to avoid distraction and to focus
all of your attention on the driving task.
Do not operate any function that diverts your
attention from safely driving your vehicle. Any
function that requires your prolonged attention
should only be performed after coming to a
complete stop in a safe location.
Maintain audio volume at a level where you can
still hear outside sounds while driving. Failure
to do so may result in an accident, or failure to
hear emergency vehicles.
To avoid draining the vehicle battery, do not
operate the system more than 15 minutes
without starting the engine.
Halt use immediately if a problem occurs.
Failure to do so may cause personal injury or
damage to the product. Return to the nearest
BMW Center for repair.

Monitor Operation
Control function operations for the LCD Monitors are
also controllable from corresponding buttons on the
System Remote Control. Monitor control functions are
displayed on-screen for 3 seconds when operated.
Notes:
• Under cold temperature conditions,
monitors may lose contrast temporarily,
however contrast will return to normal
after a short warm-up period.
• It is normal for a very small number of
monitor’s pixels to be off. This is unavoidable even with high precision manufacturing
processes.
1 POWER – Switches Monitor ‘ON/OFF’ with vehicle
ignition key in Position 1 (Steering Unlocked),
Position 2 (Ignition ON) or Position 3 (Engine Start).
Performance Note:
Monitors may be adjusted by a BMW Center to
default to one of three power start-up modes:
• ‘SCREEN OFF’ – Monitor will default to a
power-off condition as vehicle is restarted.
• ‘SCREEN ON’ – Monitor will default to a poweron condition as vehicle is restarted.
• ‘SCREEN AUTO’– Monitor will default to last
power on/off condition that existed when vehicle
was shut down. (SCREEN AUTO is factory-set
power start-up mode.)

formatted DVD to fit entire monitor.
Proportionally stretches a ‘Widescreen’
formatted DVD to fit the entire width of
monitor, (leaving black stripes at top and
bottom of the monitor).

DVD without modification. Playing a ‘Full
