Opening and closing Each time the panorama glass sunroof is completely opened or closed, it stops in the comfort position. If desired, continue the motion following this with the switch. 1. Fold back the cover, using the screwdriver from the toolkit at the points indicated if necessary, refer to page 243. Pinch protection system 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 closing action is interrupted and the panorama glass sunroof and sliding visor reopen a little. Despite the pinch protection system, 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 continue closing.< 2. Insert the Allen wrench* into the opening provided. Move the sunroof in the desired direction. The arrow below indicates the rotation direction for closing. Closing without pinch protection system In case of danger from outside, slide the switch forward beyond the resistance point and hold. The roof closes without the pinch protection system. Following interruptions in electrical power supply After a power loss, the sunroof may only respond to the raise command. Then have the system initialized. BMW recommends having this work done by your BMW center. Moving manually* In the event of an electrical malfunction, you can move the sunroof manually. 46 Online Edition for Part no. 01 41 2 600 721 - © 08/08 BMW AG
