After switching off ignition
You can still operate the windows:
>for approx. 15 minutes when the ignition
key is in position 1.
>for approx. 1 minute when the ignition key is
in position 0 or has been removed; but in the
convertible, only for as long as a door has
not been opened.
For information on using the convenience oper-
ation mode at the door lock or with the remote
control, refer to page30 or31.
Anti-trapping mechanism
If the closing force rises beyond a predefined
threshold during closing, the system will imme-
diately stop moving the window prior to lower-
ing it slightly.
Convertible: the back windows and rear
window are not equipped with an anti-
trapping mechanism.<
Despite the anti-trapping mechanism,
you should inspect the travel path of the
front side window prior to closing it, as the
safety feature could fail to detect certain kinds
of obstructions, 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 anti-
trapping mechanism. Under these conditions,
the window will respond to forces beyond a
defined threshold by only opening a few inches/
millimeters.
If you pull the switch past the resistance point
again within approx. 4 seconds and hold it there,
the anti-trapping mechanism will be deacti-
vated.<
Accessories in window area
After installing any accessory – such as a
clamp-on antenna for a portable phone – 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.
