Car symbol on dashboard

[tayladoyle98]

Hello,

hoping someone can help me. I have a 2006 BMW 1 series. When I switch the ignition over, a car symbol comes up on the dashboard and then disappears. I assumed it meant the fob had a low battery and when I have been to a store to replace it, I have been told they can’t access the battery as it is rechargeable. Is this normal for a car symbol to appear and then disappear when the ignition is turned over?

i have contacted bmw twice and they have buttoned the phone call. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Welcome to the Forum

When you say a car symbol does it look like a car viewed from above? or a car sideways on on a post?

First have you checked your hand book (if there isn't one with the car check on line) I believe if it the top view it is part of the cars check system if a door is open or bulb out that will be illuminated in red, if everything is OK it will check and go out. If it looks like a little car on a post it is the service indicator if it is red there is an issue so check the handbook.

Hope this helps
