BMW 2008 135i Coupe Manual Do Proprietário

Opening and

closing

After switching off the ignition

When the remote control is removed or the igni-
tion is switched off, you can still operate the roof
for approx. 1 minute.

Pinch protection system

If the glass roof encounters an obstruction dur-
ing closing from approximately the middle of
the opening in the roof, or during closing from
the raised position, the closing movement is
interrupted and the glass roof is 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.

Closing without pinch protection

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

Following interruptions in electrical
power supply

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

Closing manually*

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

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

216

On both sides, use the screwdriver to press
on the clip inside the opening.

Remove the control unit.

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

Insert the Allen wrench

supplied with the

onboard tool kit, refer to page

216

, into the

opening provided. Move the glass roof in
the desired direction.

Reattach the lamp cover and reinstall the
control unit.

Convertible: top

The fully automatic top combines reliable
weather protection with simple and convenient
operation.
