Your individual vehicle
On purchasing your BMW, you have
decided in favor of a model with individual-
ized equipment and features. This Owner's
Manual describes the entire array of
options and equipment available with a
specific BMW model.
Please bear in mind that the manual may
contain information on accessories and
equipment that you have not specified for
your own vehicle. Sections describing
options and special equipment are marked
by asterisks
* to assist you in identifying
possible differences between the descrip-
tions in this manual and your own vehicle's
equipment.
Should your BMW be equipped with fea-
tures or accessories not described in this
Owner's Manual, please consult the
enclosed Supplementary Owner's Man-
ual(s).
Editorial notice
BMW pursues a policy of continuous,
ongoing development that is conceived to
ensure that our vehicles continue to
embody the highest quality and safety
standards combined with advanced, state-
of-the-art technology.
For this reason, the features described in
this Owner's Manual may differ from those
on your vehicle. Nor can errors and omis-
sions be entirely ruled out. You are there-
fore asked to appreciate that no claims can
be entertained on the basis of the data,
illustrations or descriptions in this Owner's
Manual.
For your own safety
Maintenance and repair
Advanced technology, e.g. the use of
modern materials and high-perfor-
mance electronics, requires specially
adapted maintenance and repair methods.
Therefore, only have corresponding work
on your BMW carried out by a BMW center
or a workshop that works according to
BMW repair procedures with correspond-
ingly trained personnel. If work is carried
out improperly there is a danger of conse-
quential damage and the related safety
risks.<
Parts and accessories
For your own safety, use genuine
parts and accessories approved by
BMW.
When you purchase accessories tested
and approved by BMW and Genuine BMW
Parts, you simultaneously acquire the
assurance that they have been thoroughly
tested by BMW to ensure optimized perfor-
mance when installed on your vehicle.
BMW warrants these parts to be free from
defects in material and workmanship.
BMW will not accept any liability for dam-
age resulting from installation of parts and
accessories not approved by BMW.
BMW cannot test every product made by
other manufacturers to verify if it can be
used on a BMW safely and without risk to
either the vehicle, its operation, or its occu-
pants.
Genuine BMW Parts, BMW Accessories
and other products approved by BMW,
together with professional advice on using
these items, are available from all BMW
centers.
Installation and operation of non-BMW
approved accessories such as alarms,
radios, amplifiers, radar detectors, wheels,
suspension components, brake dust
shields, telephones, including operation of
any mobile phone from within the vehicle
without using an externally mounted
antenna, or transceiver equipment, for
instance, CBs, walkie-talkie, ham radio or

remote control, refer to page36 or38.
Anti-trapping mechanism
If the force rises beyond a predefined
threshold during closing, the system will
stop moving the window prior to lowering it
slightly.
Despite the anti-trapping mechanism
you should inspect the window's
travel path prior to closing it, as the safety
system might fail to detect certain kinds of
obstructions, such as very thin objects, and
the window would continue closing.
The protection provided by the anti-trap-
ping mechanism is limited when the switch
is pulled beyond the resistance point and
held. Under these conditions the window
will respond to forces beyond a defined
threshold by only opening several millime-
ters.
If you again pull the switch beyond the
resistance point and hold it in position
within a period of roughly 4 seconds, this
anti-trapping mechanism will be deacti-
vated.<
When you close the windows they will
slow down as they approach the end
of their travel; this is to allow the anti-trap-
ping mechanism to respond more precisely
to any obstructions encountered in this crit-
ical 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 page48 and the electric rear head
restraints, refer to page50, as well as to
the operation of the roller sun blinds from
the rear, refer to page113. The indicator
lamp lights up when this safety feature is
activated.
Press the safety switch when children
ride in the rear, as otherwise
unchecked closing of the windows could
lead to injuries.<
So that you can deactivate the func-
tion again, the remote control must be
i n s e r t e d i n t h e i g n i t i o n l o c k o r , w i t h C o m f o r t
Access, the radio mode must be switched
on.<
After installing accessories
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. BMW rec-
ommends having this work carried out by
your BMW center.
Glass roof, electric*
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 ignition
You can still operate the roof:
>In the radio mode for a longer time
>For approx. 1 minute in position 0 or
with the remote control disengaged.
