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, as the safety system might fail
to detect certain kinds of obstructions, such as
very thin objects, and the sunroof would con-
tinue 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 glass sunroof can only be raised. The sys-
tem must be initialized. BMW recommends
having this work done by your BMW center.

Manually opening and closing

In the event of an electrical malfunction, you can
move the glass sunroof manually:
1. Unclip the front of the cover for the interior
lamps using the screwdriver from the
onboard tool kit, refer to page 187.
