Accessories in window area

Coupe:
Glass sunroof, electric with
raise function*
The glass sunroof and sliding visor are opera-
tional whenever the ignition is switched on.
To prevent injuries, exercise care when
closing the glass sunroof and keep it in
your field of vision until it is shut.
Always take along the remote control when you
leave the vehicle; otherwise, children could, for
example, operate the roof and injure them-
selves.

moves completely back.
> To close, briefly press the switch or push it
twice beyond the resistance point toward
the front:

Opening and closing sliding visor
> Push the switch up to the resistance point in
the desired direction:

Anti-trapping mechanism
If the glass sunroof encounters resistance when
closing, the closing action is interrupted and the
glass sunroof opens.
If the sliding visor encounters resistance when
closing within the last approx. 8 in/20 cm, the
closing action is interrupted and the sliding
visor opens again slightly.
Despite the anti-trapping mechanism,
you should inspect the sunroof's travel
range prior to closing it, as the safety feature
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 deactivates the anti-
trapping mechanism.

Following interruptions in electrical
power supply
After an interruption in the power supply the
glass sunroof may not move. The system has to
be initialized. Should this occur, please have the
sunroof initialized at your BMW center.
