Automatic opening and closing
Press the switch beyond the pressure point.
Further to this, the following movements are
automated:
> When the roof is open, press the switch in
the direction for raising: the roof moves to
the fully raised position.
> When the roof is raised, press the switch in
the direction for opening: the roof moves to
the fully open position.
Pressing the switch again stops this movement.
Trap protection
If the glass roof encounters an obstruction dur-
ing closing from approximately the centre of the
roof aperture, or during closing from the raised
position, the closing movement is interrupted
and the glass roof is opened again slightly.
Despite the trap protection function,
make sure that the roof is not obstructed
as it closes; if this precaution is not taken, the
risk remains that thin objects, for instance,
could fail to interrupt the closing movement.
The trap protection function is overridden by
pressing the switch beyond its pressure point
and holding it in position.<
After a power failure
After a power failure, it is possible that the roof
will only move to the raised position. The sys-
tem must be initialised. BMW recommends that
you have this work performed by BMW Service.
Manual operation
In the event of an electrical fault, you can move
the glass roof manually:
1. Fold the cover down, possibly with the aid
of the screwdriver from the toolkit, see
page 192.
2. Insert the Allen key from the toolkit, see
page 192, into the designated aperture.
Turn the glass roof in the desired direction.
To close, turn in the direction indicated by
the arrow.
Touring:
Panorama glass roof*
Observe the panorama glass roof during
the closing procedure, to avoid any inju-
ries.
Take the remote control with you when you
leave the car, otherwise children could operate
the roof and possibly injure themselves.<
