The headliner insert slides back somewhat
when you raise the roof. When the roof is
opened the headliner retracts with it.
Do not use force to close the head-
liner insert with the roof in its raised
position, as damage to the mechanism
could result. When leaving the vehicle, dis-
engage the remote control in the ignition
lock and close the doors, as otherwise chil-
dren could operate the roof and injure
themselves etc.

For information on using the convenience
operation at the door lock or with the
remote control, refer to page
36 or 38 .
Automatic* opening and closing
Briefly press the switch beyond the resis-
tance point and then release it.
In addition, the following response is also
automatic:
With the roof open, briefly press the switch
in the 'Raise' direction: the roof rises to its
tilt-up end position.
Press the switch again in any direction to
stop the roof.
Anti-trapping mechanism
If the glass roof meets with resistance dur-
ing closing from approximately the middle
of the roof opening or when closing from
the raised position, then the closing opera-
tion is interrupted and the glass roof opens
again somewhat.
Despite the anti-trapping mechanism
inspect the roof'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 roof would
continue closing.
The protection provided by the anti-trap-
ping mechanism is limited when the switch
is pressed beyond the resistance point and
held. The roof only opens a short distance.
If you again press the switch beyond the
resistance point and hold it in position
within a period of roughly 2 seconds, the
anti-trapping mechanism will be deacti-
vated.
<
When you close the glass roof, it will
slow down as it approaches the end
of its travel path; this is to allow the safety
feature to respond more precisely to any
obstructions encountered in this critical
range.
<
Following interruptions in electrical
power supply
Following interruptions in electrical power,
for instance, when the battery is discon-
nected, it is possible that the glass roof will
extend to its tilt-up position, but fail to
respond to other commands. The system
must be initialized. BMW recommends hav-
ing this work carried out by your BMW cen-
ter.
Malfunction
In the event of an electrical defect, you can
operate the glass roof manually:
1. Take out the interior lamp, reach behind
the opening, press out the cover
2. Insert the Allen wrench supplied with
the onboard tool kit, refer to page
201 ,
in the opening provided. Turn to slide
the glass roof in the desired direction.
