The following movements are also automatic: > When the sunroof is open, press the switch in the lifting direction: the sunroof is raised all the way. > When the sunroof is raised, press the switch in the opening direction: the sunroof is opened all the way. Pressing the switch again stops the motion. 2. Insert the Allen wrench supplied with the onboard tool kit, refer to page 188, into the opening provided. Move the glass sunroof in the desired direction. The arrow below indicates the rotation direction for closing. Pinch protection system If the glass sunroof encounters resistance when closing from roughly the center of the roof opening or when closing from the raised position, the closing action is interrupted and the glass sunroof reopens a short way. 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. Pressing the switch beyond the resistance point and holding it there deactivates the pinch protection system.< Following interruptions in electrical power supply Mobility 39 Online Edition for Part No. 01 41 0 012 213 - © 02/06 BMW AG After a power loss, the sunroof may only respond to the lift command.
