Closing without pinch protection
If there is an external danger, press the switch
forward past the resistance point and hold it
there. The roof closes without pinch protection.
Following interruptions in electrical
power supply
After a power failure, there is a possibility that
the glass roof can only be raised. The system
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 roof manually:
1. Unclip the front of the cover of the interior
lamps using the screwdriver from the
onboard vehicle tool kit, refer to page
132 .
2. On both sides, use the screwdriver to press
on the clip inside the opening.
3. Remove the control unit.
4. Unplug the motor. Considerably less effort
will be required for manual operation.
5. Insert the Allen wrench * supplied with the
onboard vehicle tool kit, refer to page 132 ,
into the opening provided. Move the glass
roof in the desired direction.
6. Reattach the lamp cover and reinstall the
control unit.
Convertible: top
The fully automatic top combines reliable
weather protection with simple and easy-to-
use operation.
The following tips will enhance your driving
pleasure in your Convertible:
> It is advisable that you close the convertible
top when you park the vehicle. Not only
does the closed top protect the vehicle inte-
rior against unanticipated weather damage,
it also offers a certain amount of theft pro-
tection. However, even when the top is
closed, valuables should only be stored in
the locked cargo area.
> Do not attach roof-mounted luggage sys-
tems to the convertible top.
