sliding visor opens slightly.
> The open glass sunroof automatically trav-
els into the raised position. The sliding visor
remains completely open.
Opening, closing
> Push the switch backwards to the resis-
tance point.
The glass sunroof and the sliding visor open
together as long as you hold the switch in
this position.
> Push the switch backwards past the resis-
tance point.
The glass sunroof and the sliding visor open
automatically. Briefly push the switch again
to stop the opening movement.
You can close the glass sunroof in a similar
manner by pushing the switch forwards. The
sliding visor remains open and can be closed by
hand.
For information on convenient operation via the
remote control or door lock, refer to page 30
or 31.
After switching off the ignition
When the remote control is removed or the igni-
tion is switched off, you can still operate the
sunroof for approx. 1 minute as long as no door
has been opened.
Pinch protection system
If the glass sunroof encounters an obstruction
during closing from approximately the middle of
the opening in the roof, or during closing from
the raised position, the closing movement is
interrupted and the glass sunroof is opened
again slightly.
Despite the pinch protection system
check and clear the sunroof's travel path
prior to closing it, otherwise the safety system
might fail to detect certain kinds of obstruc-
tions, such as very thin objects, and the sunroof
would continue closing.
Pushing the switch beyond the resistance point
and holding it there deactivates the pinch pro-
tection system.<
Following interruptions in electrical
power supply
After a power failure, there is a possibility that
the glass sunroof can only be raised. The sys-
tem must be initialized. BMW recommends
having this work done by your BMW center.
Closing manually
In the event of an electrical malfunction, you can
move the glass sunroof manually:
1. Unclip the front of the cover of the interior
lamps using the screwdriver from the
onboard tool kit, refer to page 198.
