BMW Automobile 01 41 0 158 515 Manual Do Proprietário

Driving when the opening or clos-
ing process has not been com-

pleted can cause vehicle damage or
personal injuries.
Do not reach into the convertible top
mechanism during opening and closing.
Keep children away from the moving
parts of the convertible top during
operation.

If possible, only operate the con-
vertible top with the vehicle

stopped, as otherwise the process may
be interrupted.
If you set the convertible top in motion
with the vehicle stationary and then
have to start suddenly – for instance, at
a traffic light – you can still complete
the operation by driving as slowly as
possible and again pressing and main-
taining pressure on the button.

To close the electric power win-
dows while driving, always be

sure to first close either the rear win-
dows, or all 4 windows at the same
time, otherwise, at high speed, the win-
dows may not close tightly.

At higher speeds, the ensuing
vacuum in the passenger com-

partment can cause the convertible top
to begin fluttering. Increase the air sup-
ply via the ventilation controls so that a
vacuum does not occur in the vehicle.
