Opening and
closing

In a similar manner, the glass sunroof closes
when you slide the switch forward. The sliding
visor remains open and can be closed by hand.
For information on using the convenient opera-
tion at the door lock or with the remote control,
refer to page
30 or 32 .
For information on comfort closing with comfort
access, refer to page
39 .
Opening and closing automatically
Briefly press the switch beyond the resistance
point.
The following movements are also automatic:
> Press the switch with the sunroof open: the
sunroof is raised all the way.
> 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
237 .
2. Insert the Allen wrench supplied with the
onboard tool kit, refer to page
237 , into the
opening provided. Move the glass sunroof
in the desired direction. The arrow below
indicates the rotation direction for closing.
