BMW X6: glass sunroof*, 
electric
The glass sunroof is ready for operation when 
the ignition is switched on, refer to page
To prevent injuries, exercise care when 
closing the glass sunroof and keep it in 
your field of vision until it is closed.
Always take along the remote control when you 
leave the vehicle, otherwise children could, for 
example, operate the roof and injure them-
selves.

Raising
Press the switch.
The closed glass sunroof is raised and the slid-
ing visor opens slightly.
Do not use force to close the sliding visor 
with the glass sunroof in its raised posi-
tion, otherwise the mechanism will be dam-
aged.

Slide the switch back to the resistance 
point.
The glass sunroof and the sliding visor open 
together as long as you continue to hold the 
switch in this position.
>
Briefly press the switch back beyond the 
resistance point.
The glass sunroof and the sliding visor open 
automatically. Briefly pressing the switch 
stops the motion.
You can close the glass sunroof in a similar 
manner by sliding the switch forward. The slid-
ing visor remains open and can be closed by

For information on using convenience opera-
tion with the remote control or at the door lock,

Automatic opening and closing
Briefly press the switch beyond the resistance 
point.
The following movements are also automatic:
>
With the sunroof open, press the switch:
The sunroof is opened all the way.
>
With the sunroof raised, briefly press the 
switch in the opening direction: the sunroof 
is opened all the way.
Briefly pressing the switch stops the motion.
Comfort position
In the comfort position, the sunroof is not com-
pletely open; this reduces wind noise in the 
passenger compartment.
Each time the glass sunroof is opened or closed 
all the way, it stops in the comfort position. If 
you wish, you can continue the motion by actu-
ating the switch.
After switching off ignition
You can still operate the roof for approx. 
1 minute, as long as no door has been opened.
Pinch protection system
If the glass sunroof meets with resistance from 
about the middle of the roof opening when clos-
ing or when lowering from the raised position, 
the closing process is interrupted and the glass 
sunroof opens all the way.
Despite the pinch protection system, 
inspect 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.
