!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.
1POWER – 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.)
2 Audio/Video SOURCE – (Marked SEL on System Remote Control) Each monitor may be independently cycled between three audio/video sources:
AV 1 |
AV 2 |
AV 3 |
Note: Audio/video sources must be compatible with standard NTSC composite video outputs
• AV 1 : DVD Player (vehicle mounted)
