Opening, closing
Sliding visor
You can move the sliding visor independently
when the roof is in the closed or raised position.
> Slide the switch backward to the resistance
point.
The sliding visor continues to open for as
long as you hold the switch in this position.
> Press the switch backward briefly past the
resistance point.
The sliding visor opens automatically. Press
the switch briefly to stop the movement.
You close the sliding visor in the same way by
sliding the switch forward.
Panorama glass sunroof
With the sliding visor open, proceed as
described under Sliding visor.
For convenience operation using the remote
control or the door lock, refer to page
19 or 21 .
Opening and closing sunroof and
sliding visor together
Briefly press the switch past the resistance
point twice consecutively.
Press the switch briefly to stop the movement.
Convenience functions
> With the sunroof open, press the switch
twice:
The sunroof is raised.
> With the sunroof raised, briefly press the
switch twice in the opening direction:
The sunroof is completely opened.
Comfort position
In the comfort position, the sunroof is not com-
pletely open. This reduces the 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 you wish, you can resume the motion
by activating the switch.
After switching off ignition
You can operate the panorama glass sunroof 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 roof opening or when
closing from the raised position, then the clos-
ing action is interrupted and the panorama
glass sunroof and sliding visor reopen slightly.
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.
<
Closing without pinch protection
system
If there is danger outside, press the switch
beyond the resistance point and hold it there.
The sunroof will close without the pinch protec-
tion system.
Following interruptions in electrical
power supply
After a power supply interruption, it may only be
possible to raise the sunroof. Have the system
initialized. BMW recommends having this work
carried out by your BMW Sports Activity Vehi-
cle Center.
