Opening and closing In a similar manner, the glass sunroof closes when you slide the switch forward. The sliding visor remains open and can be closed by hand. For information on using the convenient operation at the door lock or with the remote control, refer to page 30 or 32. For information on comfort closing with comfort access, refer to page 39. 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 glass sunroof manually. 1. Fold the cover panel down, if necessary using a screwdriver from the onboard tool kit, refer to page 237. Opening and closing automatically Briefly press the switch beyond the resistance point. The following movements are also automatic: > Press the switch with the sunroof open: the sunroof is raised all the way. > When the sunroof is raised, briefly press the switch in the opening direction: the sunroof is opened all the way. Briefly pressing the switch stops the motion. 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.< 2. Insert the Allen wrench supplied with the onboard tool kit, refer to page 237, into the opening provided. Move the glass 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. 42 Online Edition for Part no. 01 41 0 014 240 - © 08/07 BMW AG
