To prevent injuries, watch the glass roof while closing it.

Take the remote control with you when you leave the car; otherwise, children could operate the roof and possibly injure themselves.

Press the switch.

> The closed glass roof is tilted and the sliding visor opens slightly.

Do not close the sliding visor forcibly with the roof in the tilted position, as this would damage the mechanism.

> Press the switch backwards to the resistance point.

The glass roof and the sliding visor open together as long as you hold the switch in this position.

> Press the switch backwards past the resistance point.

The glass roof and the sliding visor open

automatically. Briefly press the switch again to stop the opening movement.

You can close the glass roof in a similar manner by pressing the switch forwards. The sliding visor remains open and can be closed by hand.

For information on Convenient opening and closing via the remote control or the door lock,  or 32. For information on Convenient closing with Comfort Access, refer to Locking on page 36.

After switching off the ignition

When the remote control is removed or the ignition is switched off, you can still operate the roof for approx. 1 minute as long as no door has been opened.

If the glass roof encounters an obstruction during closing from approximately the middle of the opening in the roof, or during closing from the tilted position, the closing movement is interrupted and the glass roof is opened again slightly.

Despite the pinch protection system check and clear the roof's travel path prior to closing it; otherwise, the safety system might fail to detect certain kinds of obstructions, such as very thin objects, and the roof would continue closing.

Closing without pinch protection

If there is an external danger, press the switch forward past the resistance point and hold it there. The roof closes without pinch protection.

Following interruptions in electrical power supply

After a power failure, there is a possibility that the glass roof can only be tilted. The system must be initialized. BMW recommends having this work done by your BMW center.

In the event of an electrical malfunction, you can move the glass roof manually:

1.  Unclip the front of the cover of the interior lamps using the screwdriver from the onboard vehicle tool kit.

2.  On both sides, use the screwdriver to press on the clip inside the opening.

3.  Remove the control unit.
4.  Unplug the motor. Considerably less effort will be required for manual operation.

5.  Insert the Allen wrenchsupplied with the onboard vehicle tool kit, , into the opening provided. Move the glass roof in the desired direction.

6.  Reattach the lamp cover and reinstall the control unit.
