Opening and
closing
40
> When the sunroof is raised, briefly press the
switch twice in the opening direction:
The sunroof is opened all the way.
Comfort position
In the comfort position, the sunroof is not com-
pletely open; this reduces wind noise in the
passenger compartment.
Each time the panorama glass sunroof is com-
pletely opened or closed, it stops in the comfort
position. If desired, continue the motion follow-
ing this with the switch.
After switching off ignition
You can still operate the roof for approx.
1 minute, as long as no door has been opened.
Pinch protection system
If the panorama glass sunroof or sliding visor
encounter resistance when closing from
roughly one third of the sunroof opening or
when closing from the raised position, the clos-
ing action is interrupted and the panorama
glass sunroof and sliding visor reopen a little.
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 carried out by your BMW Sports
Activity Vehicle Center.
Moving manually*
In the event of an electrical malfunction, you can
move the sunroof manually:
1. Remove trim piece. To do so, gently lift the
corner of the trim piece with a screwdriver.
2. Using the screwdriver, press in the clamps
one after the other, arrows
1, tilt the cover
panel down, arrow 2, and remove.
3. Disconnect the motor plug. This signifi-
cantly reduces the effort required for the
manual movement.
4. Take the Allen wrench * from its bracket in
the onboard tool kit, refer to page 247 , and
insert it into the opening provided. Move the
panorama glass sunroof in the desired
direction.
