Panorama glass roof

Anti-trapping mechanism

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

Despite the anti-trapping mecha-
nism inspect the roof'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 roof would continue closing.
The anti-trapping mechanism for clos-
ing the panorama glass roof is deacti-
vated if the switch is pressed beyond
the resistance point and held there. The
closing action is interrupted when you
release the switch.

Following a power failure

Following interruptions in electrical
power, for instance, when the battery is
disconnected, it is possible that the
panorama glass roof will extend to its
tilt-up position, but fail to respond to
other commands. The system must be
initialized. BMW recommends having
this work carried out by your BMW
Sport Activity Vehicle center.

Manual operation

In the event of an electrical malfunction,
you can operate the panorama glass
roof manually.

1. Remove the Allen wrench and the

screwdriver from the onboard tool
kit, refer to page

158

2. Remove the cover from the head-

liner. To do this, position the screw-
driver somewhat off-center at the
rear and carefully lever out the cover

3. Insert the Allen wrench in the open-

ing provided and turn the panorama
glass roof in the desired direction.
