BMW 2007 X5 4.8i SAV Owner's Manual

 39

If the panorama glass sunroof or sliding visor 
encounter resistance when closing from 
roughly one third of the sunroof opening or 
when closing from the raised position, the clos-
ing action is interrupted and the panorama 
glass sunroof and sliding visor reopen a little.

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.

<

In case of danger from outside, press the switch 
beyond the resistance point and hold. 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 roof manually:

1.

Fold down the cover. To do this, press the 
clips in the notches on each side with a 
screwdriver.

2.

Remove the operating unit.

3.

Remove the engine connector. The effort 
required for manual movement is consider-
ably reduced.

4.

Remove the Allen key from the mounting 
next to the toolkit and insert it in the open-
ing provided. Move the panorama glass 
sunroof in the desired direction.

5.

Reinstall the operating unit.
