BMW 2005 645Ci Convertible Manual Do Proprietário

Opening and

closing

dren away from the travel path of the convert-
ible top.
For safety reasons, only operate the convertible
top when the vehicle is at a standstill.

If you have initiated top operation with the
vehicle at a stop and then start to drive,

e.g. at a traffic light, you can continue the ini-
tiated operation up to a speed of 20 mph/
30 km/h:
To do so, press and hold the corresponding
button.

Partial vacuums that occur at higher
speeds in the passenger compartment

can make the convertible top flap. Use the auto-
matic climate control to increase the air supply
so that a partial vacuum in the vehicle does not
occur.

Prior to opening and closing

Read carefully and comply with the safety
precautions that appear above.

Ensure that the convertible top compart-
ment floor in the luggage compartment is
folded down, refer to page

, as otherwise

the convertible top cannot be opened.

Ensure that the luggage compartment lid is
closed.

Opening and closing

With the ignition key in position 1 or greater,
refer to page

, and the vehicle stationary:

So as not to place an excessive load on
the battery, only operate the convertible

top with the engine running, if possible.
Before closing the convertible top, remove for-
eign bodies from the windshield frame, as these
might inhibit closing of the convertible top.

1 Closing
2 LED
3 Opening

When the button for top operation is
pressed, the side windows move down-

ward slightly; the rear window is lowered com-
pletely.
If you hold down the button after the LED

goes out, the windows are raised again.
If the opening or closing action is not com-
pleted, the luggage compartment lid cannot be
opened.

LED

In the following situations, in addition to the
LED, a message is displayed on the Control
Display and an acoustic signal may sound:

During convertible top operation, the LED
lights up green. It goes out as soon as the
opening or closing action is ended.

If the LED flashes red when you release the
button, the opening or closing action has
not yet finished.

If the LED lights up red when the button is
pressed, either the floor of the convertible
top storage compartment in the luggage
compartment is in the raised position or a
malfunction has occurred. The convertible
top cannot be moved.

Interruption

The automatic sequence of movements is
interrupted immediately if the button for top
operation is released. The sequence can be
continued in the desired direction using the
button.
If the opening or closing action is interrupted for
a longer period, the convertible top remains in
that position for approx. 15 minutes before it
slowly moves to a stable position.

A convertible top which is not completely
opened or closed presents a danger.

Do not interrupt and continue the closing action
several times in succession, as otherwise the
top mechanism can be damaged.
