this position.

>

Push the switch backwards past the resis-
tance point.
The glass sunroof and the sliding visor open
automatically. Briefly press the switch again
to stop the opening movement.

You can close the glass sunroof in a similar

.

After switching off the ignition

When the remote control is removed or the igni-
tion is switched off, you can still operate the
sunroof for approx. 1 minute as long as no door
has been opened.

Pinch protection system

If the glass sunroof encounters an obstruction
during closing from approximately the middle of
the opening in the roof, or during closing from
the raised position, the closing movement is
interrupted and the glass sunroof is opened
again slightly.

Despite the pinch protection system
check and clear the sunroof's travel path

prior to closing it, otherwise the safety system
might fail to detect certain kinds of obstruc-
tions, such as very thin objects, and the sunroof
would continue closing.

Closing without pinch protection

If there is an external danger, push the switch
past the resistance point and hold it there. The
roof closes without pinch protection.

Following interruptions in electrical
power supply

After a power failure, there is a possibility that
the glass sunroof can only be raised. The sys-
tem must be initialized. BMW recommends
having this work done by your BMW center.

Closing manually

In the event of an electrical malfunction, you can
move the glass sunroof manually:

1.

Unclip the front of the cover of the interior
lamps using the screwdriver from the
onboard tool kit, refer to page

221

.

2.

Insert the screwdriver into the openings on
each side to press the clips.

3.

Remove the control unit.

4.

Unplug the motor. Considerably less effort
will be required for manual operation.
