Electric Power Windows - BMW Z3 COUPE 2001 Manual

Luggage compartment lid Electric power windows
Do not drive with the luggage
compartment lid open, since
exhaust fumes could penetrate the inte-
rior of the vehicle. Should it be abso-
lutely necessary to operate the vehicle
with the luggage compartment lid open
(coupe; roadster with closed convert-
ible top):
> Close all windows. On the coupe,
close the sunroof.
> Increase the air supply of the heating
and ventilation system to a high level.
Refer to page 78 or 82.<
Opening and closing windows
From ignition key position 1 and up:
> Depress the rocker switch until you
feel resistance:
The window continues moving for as
long as you maintain pressure on the
switch.
> Press the rocker switch beyond the
pressure point (one-touch mode):
The window moves automatically.
Press the switch a second time to
stop the window.
After the ignition has been switched off:
Actuation is still possible for up to
15 minutes in ignition key position 0 or
if the ignition key has been removed, as
long as no doors have been opened.
Because the power windows are
sealed at high pressure to prevent
wind noise when closed, a powerful
motor is required for efficient closing.
When closing the windows, always
ensure that they are not obstructed in
any way. Unsupervised use of these
systems can result in serious personal
injury. Remove the ignition key to deac-
tivate the electric power windows
whenever you leave the vehicle. Never
leave the keys in the vehicle with unsu-
pervised children.
Never place anything that could
obstruct the driver's vision on or next to
the windows.<
For convenience closing via the door
lock, refer to page 32.
