For information on comfort closing with comfort access, refer to page 41. After switching off ignition You can still operate the windows with the remote control removed or the ignition switched off for approx. 1 minute, as long as neither of the front doors has been opened. With the safety switch, you can prevent the rear windows from being opened or closed via the switches in the rear passenger area, by children, for example. The LED lights up when this safety feature is activated. Always press the safety switch when children ride in the rear, otherwise uncontrolled closing of the windows could lead to injuries.< Pinch protection system If the closing force exceeds a specific value as a window closes, the closing action is interrupted and the window reopens slightly. Despite the pinch protection system, inspect the window's travel path prior to closing it, as the safety system might fail to detect certain kinds of obstructions, such as thin objects, and the window would continue closing. Do not install any accessories in the range of movement of the windows, otherwise the pinch protection system will be impaired.< The glass sunroof is ready for operation when the ignition is switched on, refer to page 62. To prevent injuries, exercise care when closing the glass sunroof and keep it in your field of vision until it is closed. Always take along the remote control when you leave the vehicle, otherwise children could, for example, operate the roof and injure themselves.< Closing without pinch protection system In case of danger from outside or if, for example, ice on the window prevents normal closing, proceed as follows: 1. Pull the switch beyond the resistance point and hold. The pinch protection system is limited and the window opens slightly if the closing force exceeds a certain value. 2. Pull the switch beyond the resistance point and hold again within approx. 4 seconds. 43 Online Edition for Part no. 01 41 2 600 721 - © 08/08 BMW AG Reference Mobility Communications Entertainment Electric glass sunroof* Navigation Driving tips Controls Separate switches for the rear windows are located in the rear.
