For information on convenience closing with comfort access, refer to page 37. Pinch protection system If the glass sunroof meets with resistance from about the middle of the roof opening when closing or when lowering from the raised position, the closing process is interrupted and the glass sunroof opens all the 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.< Closing without pinch protection system When there is danger outside the vehicle, proceed as follows: 1. Slide the switch forward past the resistance point and hold it there. The pinch protection system is limited and the sunroof opens slightly if the closing force exceeds a certain value. 2. Within about 4 seconds, slide the switch forward again beyond the resistance point and hold it there. The roof closes without the pinch protection system. Automatic opening and closing Briefly press the switch beyond the resistance point. The following movements are also automatic: > With the sunroof open, press the switch: The sunroof is opened all the way. > With the sunroof raised, briefly press the switch in the opening direction: The sunroof is opened all the way. Briefly pressing the switch stops the motion. 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 that you have this work carried out by your BMW Sports Activity Vehicle Center. Comfort position In the comfort position, the sunroof is not completely open; this reduces wind noise in the passenger compartment. Each time the glass sunroof is opened or closed all the way, it stops in the comfort position. If you wish, you can continue the motion by actuating the switch. 40 Online Edition for Part no. 01 41 0 015 021 - © 11/07 BMW AG
