switched off

you can still use the electric power win-

no one opens any of the doors.
Protective function
If the closing force of a front window
exceeds a certain value as the window
is being closed, the closing procedure
is immediately interrupted and the win-
dow opens again slightly.
Despite this protective function,
you must still make sure that there
are no obstacles within the closing
range of the windows. Otherwise, it
cannot be guaranteed that the closing
procedure will be interrupted in certain
cases, e.g. when very thin objects are
in the closing range.
This protective function is deactivated
when the switch is pulled past the
resistance point and held there.

After power loss
After the battery has been discon-
nected, the protective function must be
reinitialized. Please contact your BMW
center.
Convertible top
The completely automatically operated
convertible top combines assured pro-
tection against the elements with sim-
ple and easy handling.
To gain maximum satisfaction from your
convertible, please observe the follow-
ing:
> It is advisable to close the convertible
top when the vehicle is being parked.
The closed convertible top not only
protects the passenger compartment
from unforeseeable damage from the
weather, it also provides a certain
degree of theft protection. In addi-
tion, keep valuables only in the
locked luggage compartment, even
when the convertible top is closed
> Never mount a roof-mounted luggage
rack on the convertible top
> At temperatures below 147/–106
do not operate the convertible top to
prevent damage.
Never store the convertible top in
its compartment for more than
one day while it is wet to avoid perma-
nent damage from moisture.
<
Do not lay objects on the convert-
ible top, as they could fall off
when it moves, causing vehicle damage
or personal injury.
