Opening and closing > When the sunroof is raised, briefly press the switch twice in the opening direction: The sunroof is opened all the way. Moving manually* In the event of an electrical malfunction, you can move the sunroof manually: 1. Remove trim piece. To do so, gently lift the corner of the trim piece with a screwdriver. Comfort position In the comfort position, the sunroof is not completely open; this reduces wind noise in the passenger compartment. 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. After switching off ignition You can still operate the roof for approx. 1 minute, as long as no door has been opened. 2. Using the screwdriver, press in the clamps one after the other, arrows 1, tilt the cover panel down, arrow 2, and remove. 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.< 3. Disconnect the motor plug. This significantly reduces the effort required for the manual movement. 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 carried out by your BMW Sports Activity Vehicle Center. 4. Take the Allen wrench* from its bracket in the onboard tool kit, refer to page 247, and insert it into the opening provided. Move the panorama glass sunroof in the desired direction. 40 Online Edition for Part no. 01 41 0 014 248 - © 08/07 BMW AG
