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.
