Panorama glass sunroof*
When leaving the vehicle, always remove
the key and close the doors, as otherwise
children could operate the sunroof and injure
themselves.
<
The panorama glass sunroof is operational from
ignition key position 1.
After the ignition has been switched off:
You can operate the panorama glass sunroof for
up to 1 minute as long as neither of the doors
has been opened.
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.
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 beyond 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 desired, continue the motion follow-
ing this with the switch.
In the comfort position the wind noise in the
interior is reduced.
Anti-trapping mechanism
If the panorama glass sunroof or sliding visor
encounter resistance when closing from
roughly one third of the sunroof opening or
when closing from the raised position, the clos-
ing action is interrupted and the panorama
glass sunroof and sliding visor reopen a little.
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.
The anti-trapping mechanism for closing the
panorama glass sunroof is deactivated if the
switch is pressed beyond the resistance point
and held there. The closing action is interrupted
when you release the switch.
<
Following interruptions in electrical
power supply
Following interruptions in electrical power, for
instance, when the battery is disconnected, it is
possible that the panorama glass sunroof will
extend to its tilt-up position, but fail to respond
to other commands. The system must be initial-
ized. BMW recommends having this work car-
ried out by your BMW Sports Activity Vehicle
Center.
