Opening, closing
>
Press the switch to the resistance point.
The window continues to open as long as
you keep the switch pressed.
>
Press the switch beyond the resistance
point.
The window opens automatically. Press the
switch again to stop the opening move-
ment.
You can close the windows in the same manner
by pulling the switch.
There are separate switches in the rear seat
armrests.
After switching off the ignition
When the remote control is removed or the igni-
tion is switched off, you can still operate the
windows for approx. 1 minute as long as no
door is opened.
For information on convenient operation via the
remote control or the door lock, refer to page
. For information on closing with conve-
nient access, refer to Locking on page
Take the remote control with you when
you leave the car, otherwise children
could operate the electric windows and possi-
bly injure themselves.
<
Anti-trapping mechanism
If the closing force exceeds a specific value as
an electric window closes, the closing action is
interrupted immediately and the window
reopens slightly.
Despite the anti-trapping mechanism
check and clear the window's travel path
prior to closing it, otherwise the safety system
might fail to detect certain kinds of obstruc-
tions, such as 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. In this case, if the closing
force exceeds a defined threshold, the window
will only open a few fractions of an inch/a few
millimeters.
If the switch is pulled past the resistance point
again within approx. 4 seconds, the anti-trap-
ping mechanism will be deactivated.
<
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 chil-
dren, for example. When the safety function is
switched on, the LED comes on.
Always press the safety switch when chil-
dren ride in the rear, otherwise
unchecked closing of the windows could lead to
injuries.
<
Accessories in a window area
If you install accessories within the power win-
dow movement range, e.g. a clip-on antenna for
your mobile phone, the system must be initial-
ized to teach it the new conditions. BMW rec-
ommends having this work done by your BMW
Center.
Glass sunroof*, electric
To prevent injuries, exercise care when
closing the glass sunroof and keep it in
your field of vision until it is shut.
Take the remote control with you when you
29
leave the car, otherwise children could operate
the sunroof and possibly injure themselves.
<
Raising
Press the switch.
>
The closed glass sunroof is raised and the
sliding visor is opened slightly.
>
When the glass sunroof is open, it automat-
ically travels into the raised position. The
sliding visor remains completely open.
Do not close the sliding visor forcibly with
the roof in the raised position, otherwise
this could damage the mechanism.
<
Opening, closing
>
Press the switch backwards to the resis-
tance point.
The glass sunroof and the sliding visor open
together as long as you hold the switch in
this position.
>
Press the switch backwards past the resis-
tance point.
The glass sunroof and the sliding visor open
automatically. Briefly press the switch again
to stop the opening movement.
You can close the glass sunroof in a similar
manner by pressing the switch forwards. The
sliding visor remains open and can be closed by
hand.
For information on convenient operation via the
remote control or door lock, refer to page
or
After the ignition is switched off
When the remote control has been removed or
the ignition switched off, you can still operate
the glass sunroof for approx. 1 minute as long
as no door is opened.
Anti-trapping mechanism
If the glass sunroof encounters an obstruction
during closing from approximately the middle of
the opening in the roof, or during closing from
the raised position, the closing movement is
interrupted and the glass sunroof is opened
again slightly.
Despite the anti-trapping mechanism
check and clear the sunroof's travel path
prior to closing it, otherwise the safety system
might fail to detect certain kinds of obstruc-
tions, such as very thin objects, and the sunroof
would continue closing.
Pressing the switch beyond the resistance
point and holding it there deactivates the anti-
trapping mechanism.
<
Following interruptions in electrical
power supply
After a power failure, there is a possibility that
the sunroof can only be raised. The system
must be initialized. BMW recommends having
this work done by your BMW Center.
Closing manually
In the event of an electrical malfunction, you can
move the glass sunroof manually:
1.
Unclip the front of the cover of the interior
lamps using the screwdriver from the
onboard tool kit, refer to page
Opening and closing
30
2.
Insert the screwdriver into the openings on
each side to press the clips.
3.
Remove the control unit.
4.
Unplug the motor. Considerably less effort
will be required for manual operation.
5.
Insert the Allen wrench supplied with the
onboard tool kit, refer to page
, into the
opening provided. Move the glass sunroof
in the desired direction.
6.
Reinstall the control unit and reattach the
lamp cover.

Adjustments
Sitting safely
The ideal sitting position can make a vital con-
tribution to relaxed, fatigue-free driving. In con-
junction with the safety belts, the head
restraints and the airbags, the seated position
has a major influence on your safety in the event
of an accident. To ensure that the safety sys-
tems operate with optimal efficiency, we
strongly urge you to observe the instructions
contained in the following section.
For additional information on transporting chil-
dren safely, refer to page
Airbags
Always maintain an adequate distance
between yourself and the airbags. Always
grip the steering wheel on the rim, with your
hands in the 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock positions,
to minimize the risk of injury to the hands or
arms in the event of the airbag being triggered
off.
No one and nothing is to come between the air-
bags and the seat occupant.
Do not use the cover of the front airbag on the
front passenger side as a storage area. Make
sure that the front passenger is sitting correctly,
e.g. not resting feet or legs on the instrument
panel, otherwise leg injuries can occur if the
front airbag is triggered.
Make sure that passengers do not lean their
heads against the side or head airbags, other-
wise serious injuries could result if the side air-
bags suddenly deployed.
<
Even if you follow all the instructions, injuries
resulting from contact with airbags cannot be
fully excluded, depending on the circum-
stances. The ignition and inflation noise may
provoke a mild hearing loss in extremely sensi-
tive individuals. This effect is usually only tem-
porary.
For airbag locations and additional information
on airbags, refer to page
.
Head restraint
A correctly adjusted head restraint reduces the
risk of neck injury in the event of an accident.
Adjust the head restraint in such a way
that its center is at approx. ear level. Oth-
erwise, there is an increased risk of injury in the
event of an accident.
<
Head restraints, refer to page
Safety belt
Before every drive, make sure that all occupants
wear their safety belts. Airbags complement the
safety belt as an additional safety device, but
they do not represent a substitute.
Never allow more than one person to
wear a single safety belt. Never allow
infants or small children to ride in a passenger's
lap.
Expectant mothers should also wear the safety
belt, making sure that the strap in the pelvic
area is well down on the hips and does not press
against the abdominal region of the body.
Do not route the belt across your neck, or run it
across sharp edges. Be sure that the belt does
not become caught or jammed. The safety belt
should not be twisted and must be positioned
firmly over the pelvis and shoulder, as close to
the body as possible. It should not pass over
hard or fragile objects, otherwise the belt in the
pelvic area could slide over the hips in the event
of a head-on collision and injure the lower abdo-
men. Avoid wearing bulky clothing and regularly
pull the belt in the upper-body area taut, other-
wise its restraining effect could be impaired.
<
Safety belts, refer to page
Seats
Note before adjusting
Never attempt to adjust your seat while
the vehicle is moving. The seat could
respond with unexpected movement, and the

ensuing loss of vehicle control could lead to an
accident.
On the front passenger seat as well, do not
incline the backrest too far to the rear while the
vehicle is being driven, otherwise there is a dan-
ger in the event of an accident of sliding under
the safety belt, eliminating the protection nor-
mally provided by the belt.

activated at road speeds above approx. 5 mph
or 8 km/h if the front passenger's safety belt is
not fastened, if heavy objects are placed on the
front passenger seat, or if driver or front pas-
senger unfasten their safety belts.
Damage to safety belts
If the safety belts are damaged or
stressed in an accident: have the belt sys-
tem, including any belt tensioners, replaced and
the belt anchors checked. Have this work done
only by your BMW Center or at a workshop that
works according to BMW repair procedures
with correspondingly trained personnel. Other-
37
wise, it is not guaranteed that the safety devices
will function properly.

Transporting children safely
The right place for children
Do not leave children unattended in the
vehicle, otherwise they could endanger
themselves and/or other persons by opening
the doors, for example.
<
The rear center seat is not suitable for installing
universal child-restraint systems for all age
groups, approved for the age group in question.
Children always in the rear
Accident research has shown that the safest
place for children is on the rear seats.
Children under the age of 13 or smaller
than 5 ft/150 cm may be transported only
in the rear in suitable child-restraint systems
appropriate for their age, weight and size. Oth-
erwise there is an increased risk of injury in the
event of an accident.
<
Children 13 years of age or older must be buck-
led in with a safety belt as soon as there no
longer is any child-restraint system that is
appropriate for their age, size and weight.
All rear seats in your vehicle meet the recom-
mendations of the SAE J1819 standard for
safely mounting child-restraint systems in
motor vehicles.
Exception for front passenger seat
Should it be necessary to use a child-
restraint system on the front passenger
seat, the front and side airbags must be deacti-
vated. Otherwise, a child traveling on that seat
will be at an increased risk of injury if the airbags
are triggered off, even with a child-restraint sys-
tem. Your BMW Center will be glad to advise
you.
<
For more information on automatic deactivation
of the front passenger airbags refer to page
.
Installing child-restraint
systems
Observe the child-restraint system man-
ufacturer's instructions for selecting,
installing and using child-restraint systems.
Otherwise the protective effect may be dimin-
ished.
<
Standard child-restraint systems are designed
to be secured with a lap belt or with the lap-belt
section of a lap-and-shoulder belt. Incorrectly
or improperly installed child-restraint systems
can increase the risk of injury to children.
Always follow the installation instructions for
the system with the greatest care.
On the front passenger's seat
Before installing a child-restraint system
on the front passenger's seat, make sure
that the front and side airbags for the front pas-
senger are deactivated, otherwise there is an
increased risk of injury if the airbags deploy.
<
Seat height
Before installing a universal child-restraint sys-
tem, move the front passenger's seat up as far
as it will go to ensure that the safety belt will be
ideally positioned. Do not change the seat
height afterward.
Backrest width
The backrest width of the front passenger
seat must be adjusted to its widest set-
ting, otherwise the stability of the child seat on
the front passenger seat is limited.
