Automatic* opening and closing

and then release it.
In addition, the following response is also
automatic:
With the sunroof open, press the switch in
the Raise direction: the sunroof rises to its
tilt-up end position.
Press the switch again in any direction to
stop the sunroof.
The automatic opening feature in the
Raise direction can be deactivated.
Please contact your BMW center for assis-
tance.<
Safety feature
If the sliding/tilt sunroof encounters resis-
tance
> when it is closing from the raised posi-
tion
> when it is closing from a point roughly
past the middle of its travel,
the closing cycle is interrupted and the
sliding/tilt sunroof will open again slightly.
Despite this safety feature you should
always inspect the sunroof's travel
range prior to closing it, as the safety fea-
ture might fail to detect certain kinds of
obstructions, such as very thin objects, and
the sunroof would continue closing.
Pressing the switch beyond the pressure
point and holding it limits the response of
the safety feature. The sunroof only opens
a short distance.
If you again press the switch past the pres-
sure point and hold it in position within
about 1.5 seconds, the safety feature will
be deactivated.<
When you close the sliding/tilt sun-
roof it will slow down as it approaches
the end of its travel path; this is to allow the
safety feature to respond more precisely to
any obstructions encountered in this crit-
ical range.<
Following interruptions in electrical
power supply
Following interruptions in electrical power,
for instance, when the battery is discon-
nected, it is possible that the sliding/tilt
sunroof will extend to its tilt-up position,
but fail to respond to other commands.
Should this occur, please have the sunroof
reinitialized at your BMW center.
Malfunctions
In the event of an electrical malfunction,
you can operate the sliding/tilt sunroof
manually:
1. Take out the interior light, reach behind
the opening, press out the cover
2. Insert the Allen wrench supplied with
the onboard tool kit, refer to page 195,
in the opening provided. Turn to slide
the sliding/tilt sunroof in the desired
direction.
