gage compartment lid has been locked
separately.
Closing
A recess has been incorporated into the
inside trim on the luggage compartment lid
to make it easier to pull down.

If a remote control is detected in the
luggage compartment after the lug-
gage compartment lid has been closed, the

the interior of the vehicle. If special circum-
stances should make it absolutely neces-
sary to operate the vehicle with the luggage
compartment lid open:
>Close all windows and the glass roof
>Adjust the automatic climate control's
blower to supply a high rate of airflow,

then flashes continuously. The tilt alarm
sensor and the interior motion sensor are
switched off as long as the system is
armed.
If you desire, the
>tilt alarm sensor
>interior motion sensor
can be switched off permanently. Please
contact your BMW center for assistance.<
Interior motion sensor
In order for the interior motion sensor to
function properly, the windows and glass
roof must be completely closed.
Be sure to deactivate the interior motion
sensor, refer to section on Avoiding unin-
tentional alarms, when you wish to leave
the windows or glass roof open.
Windows
Opening and closing windows
From radio mode on:
>Press the switch until you feel resis-
tance:
The window continues to move down-
ward as long as you continue to hold
the switch
>Briefly press the switch beyond the
resistance point:
The window moves downward auto-
matically. Briefly press the switch again
to stop the opening movement.
You can close the windows in the same
manner by pulling the switch.
After switching off the ignition
You can still operate the power windows:
>For approx. 15 minutes with the remote
control unit in the radio mode
>For approx. 1 minute in position 0 or
with the remote control unit disen-
gaged.
To open, press the switch beyond the
resistance point.
When leaving the vehicle parked,
always remove the remote control
from the ignition lock and close the doors;
this precaution prevents children from
operating the power windows and injuring
themselves, etc.<
For information on using the convenience
operation mode at the door lock or with the
remote control, refer to page 34 or 36.
Safety feature
If the force rises beyond a predefined
threshold during closing, the system will
stop moving the window prior to lowering it
slightly.
Despite this safety feature you should
always inspect the window's travel
path prior to closing it, as the safety system
might fail to detect certain kinds of obstruc-
tions, such as very thin objects, and the
window would continue closing.
Pulling the switch beyond the resistance
point and holding it limits the response of
the safety feature. Under these conditions
the window will respond to forces beyond a
defined threshold by only opening several
millimeters.
If you again pull the switch past the resis-
tance point and hold it in position within a
period of roughly 4 seconds, the safety fea-
ture will be deactivated.<
When you close the windows they will
slow down as they approach the end
of their travel; this is to allow the safety fea-
ture to respond more precisely to any
obstructions encountered in this critical
range.<

Safety switch
With the safety switch, you can prevent the
rear windows from being opened or closed
via the switches in the rear passenger area,
by children, for example. The same applies
to adjusting the electric rear seats, refer to
page 46 and the electric rear head
restraints, refer to page 48, as well as to
the operation of the roller sun blinds from
the rear, refer to page 112. The 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 win-
dows can lead to injury.<
So that you can deactivate the func-
tion again, the remote control must
be inserted in the ignition lock or, with
Comfort Access, the radio position must
be switched on.<
After installing accessories
After installing any accessory Ð such as a
clamp-on antenna for a portable phone Ð
within the window's travel range, you will
need to have the system reinitialized for
use under the new conditions. Please con-
tact your BMW center for assistance.
Glass roof, electric*
To prevent injuries, exercise care
when closing the glass roof 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 roof and injuring them-
selves, etc.<
Raising, opening, closing
From radio mode on, press the switch, or
slide it in the desired direction up to the
resistance point.
After switching off the ignition
You can still operate the roof:
>For approx. 15 minutes with the remote
control in the radio mode
>For approx. 1 minute in position 0 or
with the remote control disengaged.
The headliner insert slides back somewhat
when you raise the roof. When the roof is
opened the headliner retracts with it.
Do not use force to close the head-
liner insert with the roof in its raised
position, as damage to the mechanism
could result.<
For information on using the convenience
operation mode at the door lock or with the
remote control, refer to page 34 or 36.
Automatic* opening and closing

point and then release it.
In addition, the following response is also

With the roof open, briefly press the switch
in the Raise direction: the roof rises to its
tilt-up end position.
Press the switch again in any direction to
stop the roof.
