After switching off ignition
You can still operate the sunroof:
>
With the Ignition key in position 1 for
approx. 15 minutes
>
With the ignition key in position 0 or with the
ignition key removed, for approx. 1 minute,
as long as a front door has not been opened.
Automatic opening and closing
Press the switch past the resistance point.
The following movements are also automatic:
>
When the sunroof is open, press the switch
in the lifting direction: the sunroof is raised
all the way.
>
When the sunroof is raised, press the
switch in the opening direction: the sunroof
is opened all the way.
Pressing the switch again stops the motion.
Anti-trapping mechanism
If the glass sunroof encounters resistance when
closing from roughly the center of the sunroof
opening or when closing from the raised posi-
tion, the closing action is interrupted and the
glass sunroof reopens a short way.
Despite the anti-trapping mechanism
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.
Pressing the switch beyond the resistance
point and holding it there deactivates the anti-
trapping mechanism.

Following interruptions in electrical
power supply
After a power loss, the sunroof may only
respond to the lift command. The system must
be initialized. BMW recommends having this
work done by your BMW center.
