BMW 2011 328i Sedan Owner's Manual

40

In the comfort position, the roof is not com-
pletely open, thus reducing wind noise in the 
passenger compartment.
Each time the panorama glass roof is opened or 
closed completely, it stops in the comfort posi-
tion. If desired, continue the movement by 
pressing the switch.

When the remote control is removed or the igni-
tion is switched off, you can still operate the roof 
for approx. 1 minute as long as no door has 
been opened.

If the panorama glass roof or the sliding visor 
encounters an obstruction while closing from a 
position about two-thirds closed, or during 
closing from the raised position, the closing 
movement is interrupted and the panorama 
glass roof and the sliding visor are opened again 
slightly.

Despite the pinch protection system 
check and clear the roof's travel path prior 

to closing it; otherwise, the safety system might 
fail to detect certain kinds of obstructions, such 
as very thin objects, and the roof would con-
tinue closing.

<

If there is an external danger, press the switch 
forward past the resistance point and hold it 
there. The roof closes without pinch protection.

After a power failure, there is a possibility that 
the panorama glass roof can only be raised. The 
system must be initialized. BMW recommends 
having this work done by your BMW center.

In the event of an electrical malfunction, you can 
move the panorama glass roof manually:

1.

Unclip the front of the cover of the interior 
lamps using the screwdriver from the 
onboard vehicle tool kit, refer to page

2.

Insert the screwdriver into the openings on 
each side to press the clips.

3.

Remove the control unit.

4.

Unplug the motor. Considerably less effort 
will be required for manual operation.
