> When the sunroof is raised, briefly press the
switch in the opening direction: the sunroof
is opened all the way.
Briefly pressing the switch stops the motion.
Pinch protection system
If the glass sunroof encounters resistance when
closing from roughly the center of the roof
opening or when closing from the raised posi-
tion, the closing action is interrupted and the
glass sunroof reopens a short way.
Despite the pinch protection system,
inspect the sunroof's travel path prior to
closing it, as the safety system might fail to
detect certain kinds of obstructions, such as
very thin objects, and the sunroof would con-
tinue closing.
<
Closing without pinch protection
system
In case of danger from outside, slide the switch
forward beyond the resistance point and hold.
The roof closes without the pinch protection
system.
Following interruptions in electrical
power supply
After a power loss, the sunroof may only
respond to the raise command. Then have the
system initialized. BMW recommends having
this work done by your BMW center.
Moving manually*
In the event of an electrical malfunction, you can
move the glass sunroof manually.
1. Fold the cover panel down, if necessary
using a screwdriver from the onboard tool
kit, refer to page
243 .
2. Insert the Allen wrench * from the onboard
tool kit, refer to page 243 , into the opening
provided. Move the glass sunroof in the
desired direction. The arrow below indi-
cates the rotation direction for closing.
