your field of vision until it is shut.
Take the remote control with you when you
leave the car, otherwise children could operate
the sunroof and possibly injure themselves.
<
Raising
Press the switch.
> The closed glass sunroof is raised and the
sliding visor is opened slightly.
> When the glass sunroof is open, it automat-
ically travels into the raised position. The
sliding visor remains completely open.
Do not close the sliding visor forcibly with
the roof in the raised position, otherwise
this could damage the mechanism. <
Opening, closing
> Press the switch backwards to the resis-
tance point.
The glass sunroof and the sliding visor open
together as long as you hold the switch in
this position.
> Press the switch backwards past the resis-
tance point.
The glass sunroof and the sliding visor open
automatically. Briefly press the switch again
to stop the opening movement.
You can close the glass sunroof in a similar
manner by pressing the switch forwards. The
sliding visor remains open and can be closed by
hand.
For information on convenient operation via the
remote control or door lock, refer to page

or 22 .
Anti-trapping mechanism
If the glass sunroof encounters an obstruction
during closing from approximately the middle of
the opening in the roof, or during closing from
the raised position, the closing movement is
interrupted and the glass sunroof is opened
again slightly.
Despite the anti-trapping mechanism
check and clear the sunroof's travel path
prior to closing it, otherwise the safety system
might fail to detect certain kinds of obstruc-
tions, such as very thin objects, and the sunroof
would continue closing.
Pressing the switch beyond the resistance
point and holding it there deactivates the anti-
trapping mechanism.

Following interruptions in electrical
power supply
After a power failure, there is a possibility that
the sunroof can only be raised. The system
must be initialized. BMW recommends having
this work done by your BMW Center.
Closing manually
In the event of an electrical malfunction, you can
move the glass sunroof manually:
1. Unclip the front of the cover of the interior
lamps using the screwdriver from the
onboard tool kit, refer to page
125 .
