Sliding/Tilt Sunroof - BMW SERIE 3 SEDAN 2001 Manual

Electric power windows
Safety switch
This way, you can prevent the children,
for example, from using the switch in
*
the rear to open and close the rear
windows.
Press the safety switch whenever
children are riding in the rear of
the vehicle. Careless use of the power
windows can lead to injury.<

Sliding/tilt sunroof

Exercise care when closing the
sliding/tilt sunroof and keep it in
your field of vision until it is completely
closed. Failure to do so can result in
injuries.
Remove the key from the ignition and
close the doors when you leave the
vehicle so that children cannot operate
the sunroof and possibly injure them-
selves.<
To avoid pressure or drafts in the
passenger compartment when the
sunroof is open or raised, keep the air
vents in the dashboard open and
increase the air supply if necessary.
Refer to page 92 or 101.
If the sunroof is completely open, air
disturbances may be caused in the
vehicle when you are driving at higher
speeds. Close the roof as far as is
necessary until this natural phenom-
enon ceases.
For the convenience operating mode
with the door lock or the remote
control, refer to page 34 or 36.

Lifting – Opening – Closing
From ignition key position 1, press the
switch or slide it to the desired direction
until you feel resistance.
When lifting, the headliner retracts
several inches.
Do not use force to close the
headliner when the sunroof is
open, or you could damage the mecha-
nism.<
After the ignition has been switched off,
you can still operate the sunroof for up
to 15 minutes, as long as neither of the
front doors has been opened.
