Trap protection
If the glass roof encounters an obstruction dur-
ing closing from approximately the centre of the
roof aperture, or during closing from the raised
position, the closing movement is interrupted
and the glass roof is opened again slightly.
Despite the trap protection function,
make sure that the roof is not obstructed
as it closes; if this precaution is not taken, the
risk remains that thin objects, for instance,
could fail to interrupt the closing
Closing without trap protection
If there is an external hazard, push the switch
forwards beyond the pressure point and keep it
there. The roof closes without trap protection.
After a power failure
After a power failure, there is a possibility that
the glass roof can only be raised. The system
must be initialised. BMW recommends that you
have this work performed by BMW Service.
Manual closing*
In the event of an electrical fault, you can move
the glass roof manually:
1. Unclip the front of the cover of the interior
lights using the screwdriver from the toolkit,
see page 196.
