indicator lamp lights up when this safety
feature is activated.
Press the safety switch whenever
children are riding in the rear of the
vehicle. Careless use of the power
windows can lead to injury.<
The remote control unit must be
locked in position in the ignition lock
before this safety feature can be deacti-
vated.< After installing accessories After installing any accessory Ð such as a
clamp-on antenna for a mobile phone Ð
within the window's travel range, you will
need to have the system reinitialized for
use under the new conditions . Please
contact your BMW center for assistance. Sliding/tilt sunroof*

To prevent injuries, exercise care
when closing the sliding/tilt sunroof
and keep it in your field of vision until it is
shut.
When leaving the vehicle, always disen-
gage the remote control in the ignition lock
and close the doors to prevent children
from operating the sunroof and injuring
themselves, etc.<
Raising Ð Opening Ð Closing From "radio" mode on, press the switch, or
slide in the desired direction up to the pres-
sure point.
After the ignition is switched off the sunroof
remains available for operation:>for approx. 15 minutes with the remote
control unit in the "radio" position
>for approx. 1 minute in position 0 or with
the remote control unit disengaged.
The headliner insert slides back somewhat
when you raise the sunroof. When the
sunroof is opened the headliner retracts
with it.
Do not use force to close the head-
liner insert with the sunroof in its
raised position, as damage to the mecha-
nism could result.<
For information on using the convenience
operation mode at the door lock or with the
remote control, refer to page 37 or 36.
Automatic* opening and closing Press the switch past the pressure point
and then release it.
In addition, the following response is also
automatic:
With the sunroof open, press the switch in
the "raise" direction: the sunroof rises to its
tilt-up end position.
Press the switch again in any direction to
stop the sunroof.
The automatic opening feature in the
"raise" direction can be deactivated.
Please contact your BMW center for assis-
tance.< Safety feature If the sliding/tilt sunroof encounters resis-
tance
>when it is closing from the raised posi-
tion
>when it is closing from a point roughly
past the middle of its travel,
the closing cycle is interrupted and the
sliding/tilt sunroof will open again slightly.
Despite this safety feature you should
always inspect the sunroof's travel
range prior to closing it, as the safety
feature might fail to detect certain kinds of
obstructions, such as very thin objects, and
the sunroof would continue closing.
Pressing the switch beyond the pressure

Opening and closing
44 point and holding it limits the response of
the safety feature. The sunroof only opens
a short distance.
If you again press the switch past the pres-
sure point and hold it in position within
about 1.5 seconds, the safety feature will
be deactivated.<
When you close the sliding/tilt-
sunroof it will slow down as it
approaches the end of its travel path; this is
to allow the safety feature to respond more
precisely to any obstructions encountered
in this critical range.<
Following interruptions in electrical
power supply Following interruptions in electrical power
(for instance, when the battery is discon-
nected), it is possible that the sliding/tilt-
sunroof will extend to its tilt-up position,
but fail to respond to other commands.
Should this occur, please have the sunroof
reinitialized at your BMW center.Malfunctions In the event of an electrical malfunction,
you can operate the sliding/tilt sunroof
manually:
1.Remove the interior lamp and reach into
the opening to press out the cover 2.Insert the Allen wrench supplied with
the onboard tool kit, refer to page 181, in
the opening provided, note the position of
the arrow. Turn to slide the sliding/tilt
sunroof in the desired direction.

Things to remember when driving
120
Cargo loadingStowing cargo >Load heavy cargo as far forward and as
low as possible, placing it directly behind
the bulkhead behind the rear seats
>Cover sharp edges and corners
>For very heavy loads when the rear seat
is not occupied, secure each safety belt in
the opposite buckle. Securing the load >Use the luggage net
* or securing straps
to hold down small and light-weight
luggage and cargo, refer to page 40
>Heavy-duty cargo straps for securing
larger and heavier objects are available at
your BMW center
*. Anchorages for
attaching these heavy-duty straps have
been provided in your vehicle's luggage
compartment, refer to the illustration
>Please observe the special instructions
supplied with the cargo straps.
Always position and secure the load
correctly. If you do not, it can
endanger the passengers during braking or
evasive maneuvers.
Never exceed either the approved gross vehicle weight or either of the approved
axle loads, refer to page 194, as excessive
loads can pose a safety hazard, and may
also place you in violation of highway
safety laws.
You should never transport heavy or hard
objects unsecured in the passenger
compartment, as they could fly around and
pose a safety hazard to the vehicle's occu-
pants during abrupt braking or evasive
maneuvers .<
Roof-mounted luggage
rack* Anchorage pointsThe anchorage points are located within
the door openings.
A special rack system is available as an
option for your BMW. Please comply with
the precautions included with the installa-
tion instructions.
Because roof racks raise the vehicle's
center of gravity when loaded, they have a
major effect on its handling and steering
response. You should therefore always
remember not to exceed the approved roof
weight, the approved gross vehicle weight
or the axle loads when loading the rack.
You can find the specified weights in the
Technical data section on page 194.
Make sure that the load is not too heavy,
and that it does not extend outward to
beyond the limits of the loading surface.
Always load the heaviest pieces first (on
the bottom). Be sure that adequate clear-
ance is maintained for raising the sliding/tilt
sunroof, and that objects do not project
