Glass sunroof, electric with
raise function*
The glass sunroof and sliding visor are opera-
tional whenever the ignition is switched on.
To prevent injuries, exercise care when
closing the glass sunroof and keep it in
your field of vision until it is shut.
Always take along the remote control when you
leave the vehicle; otherwise, children could, for
example, operate the roof and injure them-
selves.<
Raising and closing glass sunroof
>Briefly press the switch:
The sunroof opens and the sliding visor
moves back approx. 2 in/5 cm
or
press the switch twice past the resistance
point toward the rear:
The sunroof opens and the sliding visor
moves completely back.>To close, briefly press the switch or push it
twice beyond the resistance point toward
the front:
The sunroof and sliding visor close.
Opening and closing sliding visor
>Push the switch up to the resistance point in
the desired direction:
The sliding visor continues to move for as
long as you hold the switch.
>Push the switch beyond the resistance
point in the desired direction:
The sliding visor moves automatically.
Briefly press the switch again in any direc-
tion to stop the movement.
For information on using the convenience oper-
ation mode at the door lock or with the remote
control, refer to page30 or32.
For information on comfort closing with comfort
access, refer to Locking doors on page37.
Anti-trapping mechanism
If the glass sunroof encounters resistance when
closing, the closing action is interrupted and the
glass sunroof opens.
If the sliding visor encounters resistance when
closing within the last approx. 8 in/20 cm, the
closing action is interrupted and the sliding
visor opens again slightly.
Despite the anti-trapping mechanism,
you should inspect the sunroof's travel
range prior to closing it, as the safety feature
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 deactivates the anti-
trapping mechanism.<
Following interruptions in electrical
power supply
After an interruption in the power supply the
glass sunroof may not move. The system has to
be initialized. Should this occur, please have the
sunroof initialized at your BMW center.

Transporting children safely

Transporting children safely
The right place for children
Do not leave children unattended in the
vehicle; otherwise, they could endanger
themselves and other persons, e.g. by opening
the doors.<
In principle, all seats in your BMW are suitable,
with the exception of the driver's seat, for
mounting universal child restraint systems for
all age classes approved for the respective age
group.
Children always in back
Accident research shows that the safest place
for children is in the back.
Children younger than 13 years of age or
under 5 ft/150 cm in height must be trans-
ported in back, seated in child restraint systems
which correspond to the age, weight and height
of the child. Otherwise there is an increased
danger of injury in an accident.<
Children 13 years of age or older must wear a
safety belt as soon as a suitable child restraint
system can no longer be used due to their age,
size and weight.
All rear seat positions in your vehicle comply
with the recommendations of the standard
SAE J1819 for the safe securing of 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, knee and side airbag on the pas-
senger side must be deactivated. Otherwise,
there is an increased risk of injury for the child
if the airbags are triggered, even with a child-
restraint system. Your BMW center will be glad
to advise you.<
For more information on automatic deactivation
of the front passenger airbags, refer to page91.
Installing child-restraint
systems
Follow child-restraint system manufac-
turer's instructions for the selection,
installation and use of child restraint systems.
Otherwise the degree of protection they offer
may be reduced.<
Commercially available child restraint systems
are designed to be secured with a lap belt or
with the lap belt section of a three-point belt.
Incorrectly or improperly installed child restraint
systems can increase the risk of injury for chil-
dren. Always follow the instructions for install-
ing the system exactly.
On front passenger seat
Before installing a child restraint system
in the front passenger seat, make sure
that the front, knee and side airbag on the front
passenger side are deactivated. Otherwise
there is an increased risk of injury if the airbags
are triggered.<
Seat height
Before mounting a universal child-restraint sys-
tem, move the front passenger seat into the
highest position to achieve the best possible
belt routing. Do not change this seat height.
Child seat security
All rear safety belts and the safety belt for the
front passenger can be locked against pulling
out to secure child restraint systems.

SMG Sequential Manual
Gearbox*
The concept
The SMG Sequential Manual Gearbox is an
automated manual transmission in which an
electrohydraulic system handles the clutching
and gear changes.
You operate the SMG using the selector-lever
in the center console and two shift paddles on
the steering wheel.
It offers the following functions:
>Choice of manual or automatic mode:
Sequential mode or Drive mode
>Choice of two drive programs: Normal or
Sport, refer to Dynamic Driving Control
page64
>Automatic downshifting and protection
against incorrect shifting even in sequential
operation
>Acceleration assistant, refer to page64.
Selector-lever positions
The current selector-lever position is displayed
in the center console.
>R: Reverse gear
>N: Neutral, idle>One-touch functions for Sequential mode:
+: manual upshifting
–: manual downshifting
>D: activate/deactivate the Drive mode
The transmission automatically shifts
into N if the driver's door is opened with
the engine running and neither the pedals, the
shift paddles nor the selector-lever are oper-
ated.
This is indicated by an acoustic signal and the
flashing display N in the instrument cluster.<
Gear display
R N 1 to 6
The currently engaged gear is displayed pre-
ceded by a D in Drive mode.
This display is your only way to be sure
the desired selector lever position is actu-
ally engaged.<
Shiftlock
Press the brake pedal before shifting out of N;
the shift command will not be executed unless
the brake is applied.
R Reverse
Select only when the vehicle is stationary.
Sequential mode
After every engine start, as soon as the selector
lever is pushed to the right and the brake pedal
is pressed, the Sequential mode is activated.
You can shift up and down using the shifting
paddles or the selector-lever. You do not need
to remove your foot from the accelerator to
do so.

Practical interior accessories
