Panorama glass sunroof*

The panorama glass sunroof is ready for opera-
tion with the ignition key in position 2.

Keep panorama glass sunroof in your line
of sight while closing. Failure to do so can

result in bodily injury.
Always remove the key when leaving the vehi-
cle; otherwise, children could operate the sun-
roof and injure themselves.

Raising, opening, closing

Press the switch or slide it in the desired direc-
tion up to the resistance point.
Release the switch to stop the motion.
The sliding visor is opened slightly when the
panorama glass sunroof is raised.
The panorama glass sunroof can be opened or
closed independently with the sliding visor
open.

Ventilation setting

The panorama glass sunroof is raised and the
sliding visor is opened slightly: briefly press the
switch twice consecutively.

After switching off ignition

You can operate the panorama glass sunroof for
approx. 1 minute as long as no door has been
opened.

Automatic opening and closing

Briefly press the switch past the resistance
point and then release it.
Briefly pressing the switch again stops the
motion.

Opening and closing panorama glass
sunroof and sliding visor together

Briefly press the switch past the resistance
point twice consecutively.
Briefly pressing the switch again stops the
motion.

Comfort position

Each time the panorama glass sunroof is com-
pletely opened or closed, it stops in the comfort
position. If you wish, you can resume the motion
by activating the switch.
In the comfort position, the wind noise in the
interior is reduced.

Pinch protection system

If the panorama glass sunroof or sliding visor
encounter resistance when closing from
roughly one third of the roof opening or when
closing from the raised position, the closing
action is interrupted and the panorama glass
sunroof and sliding visor reopen a little.

Despite the presence of the pinch protec-
tion system, inspect the sunroof's travel

path prior to closing it, as the safety system
might fail to detect certain kinds of obstruc-
tions, such as very thin objects, and the sunroof
would continue closing.
You can disable the pinch protection system by
pressing the switch past the resistance point
and holding it.

Following interruptions in electrical
power supply

After a power supply interruption, it may only be
possible to raise the sunroof. The system must
be initialized. BMW recommends having this
work carried out by your BMW Sports Activity
Vehicle Center.
