Opening and closing
40
Raising, opening, closing
Press the switch or push it in the required direc-
tion as far as the pressure point.
The sliding trim is opened:
> In unison with the roof
> A short distance when the roof is raised
When the roof is closed or in the raised position,
the sliding trim can be opened or closed inde-
pendently.
For comfort operation using the remote control
or door lock, see page 28 or 30.
Comfort closing with comfort access see Lock-
ing on page 36.
Vent position
Press the switch:
The glass roof is raised and the sliding trim
opened a short distance.
After the ignition is switched off
You can still operate the roof for approx.
1 minute after the remote control has been
removed or the ignition switched off.
Automatic opening and closing
Press the switch beyond the pressure point.
Pressing the switch again stops this movement.
Opening and closing roof and sliding
trim together
Press the switch twice in rapid succession
beyond the pressure point.
Pressing the switch again stops this movement.
Comfort position
Each time it is fully opened and subsequently
closed, the panorama glass roof halts in the
comfort position. If desired, the movement can
then be continued using the switch.
The comfort position minimises wind noise
inside the car.
Trap protection
If the panorama glass roof or sliding trim
encounters an obstruction during closing from
approximately one-third of the roof aperture, or
during closing from the raised position, the
closing movement is interrupted and the pano-
rama glass roof and sliding trim are 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 roof manually:
1. Fold the cover down, possibly applying the
screwdriver from the toolkit at the point
indicated, see page 192.
