BMW 2009 X6 xDrive50i Owner's Manual

46

When there is danger outside the vehicle, pro-
ceed as follows:

1.

Slide the switch forward past the resistance 
point and hold it there. The pinch protection 
system is limited and the sunroof opens 
slightly if the closing force exceeds a certain 
value.

2.

Within about 4 seconds, slide the switch 
forward again beyond the resistance point 
and hold it there. The roof closes without 
the pinch protection system.

After a power loss, the sunroof may only 
respond to the raise command. Then have the 
system initialized. BMW recommends having 
this work carried out by your BMW Sports 
Activity Vehicle Center.

In the event of an electrical malfunction, you can 
move the sunroof manually:

1.

Remove trim piece. To do so, gently lift the 
corner of the trim piece with a screwdriver.

2.

Using the screwdriver, press in the clamps 
one after the other, arrows 

1, tilt the cover 

panel down, arrow 

2, and remove.

3.

Release and disconnect the motor plug. 
This significantly reduces the effort 
required for the manual movement.

4.

Take the Allen wrench

 from its bracket in 

the onboard tool kit, refer to page

, and 

insert it into the opening provided. Move the 
glass sunroof in the desired direction.

5.

Reconnect the plug.
