Sliding/Tilt Sunroof - BMW 528I Owner's Manual

Sliding/Tilt sunroof

Other automatic operations are:
> With the sunroof open, press the
switch briefly toward "Lift:" The sun-
roof automatically extends to its fully
raised position
> With the sunroof lifted, press the
switch briefly toward "Open:" The
sunroof automatically opens all the
way.
Pressing the switch again briefly stops
the motion.
Safety feature
If the sliding/tilt sunroof encounters re-
sistance at a point roughly past the
middle of its travel when it is closing,
the closing cycle is interrupted and the
sliding/tilt sunroof will open again
slightly.
Despite this safety feature, be ex-
tremely careful that the closing
path of the sunroof is not obstructed
whenever it is closed. Otherwise, trig-
gering the closing-force limitation may
not be ensured in some situations (with
very thin objects, for instance). You can
override this safety feature by pressing
the switch beyond the resistance point
and holding it.<

The options and control procedures are
essentially the same as those previ-
ously described for the sliding/tilt sun-
roof. In order to open the raised roof,
press the control switch towards
"Open" until the roof has reached the
desired position.
The headliner insert slides back some-
what when you raise the sunroof. When
the sunroof is opened the headliner
retracts with it. The headliner will then
automatically remain in its retracted
position, but can be repositioned as
desired.
Power loss or malfunction
After interruptions in the electrical
supply (when the battery is discon-
nected, for instance), the sunroof may
only lift. To reinitialize the mechanism:
1 Raise the sliding/tilt sunroof all
the way
2 Press and hold the switch for
approximately twenty seconds.
In the event of an electrical malfunction,
you can also operate the sliding/tilt sun-
roof manually. Refer to page 180.
