tance point.
Pinch protection system
If the closing force exceeds a specific value as a
window closes, the closing action is interrupted
and the window reopens slightly.
Despite the presence of the pinch protec-
tion system, make sure to 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.
Do not install any accessories in the range of
movement of the windows; otherwise, the pinch
protection system will be impaired. slow down as they approach the end of
their travel; this is to allow the pinch protection
system to respond more precisely to any
obstructions encountered in this critical
range.<

system
If danger outside the vehicle or a frozen window
prevents you from closing the windows nor-
mally, proceed as follows:
1.Pull the switch past the resistance point and
hold it there. The pinch protection system is
restricted and the window opens slightly
once the closing force exceeds a certain
value.
2.Pull the switch again beyond the resistance
point within approx. 4 seconds and hold it
there. The window closes without the pinch
protection system.
Safety switch

position, then the closing operation is inter-
rupted and the glass sunroof opens again
somewhat.
Despite the presence of the pinch protec-
tion system, inspect the sunroof'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 sunroof
would continue closing.<
Closing without the pinch protection
system
If there is danger outside, push the switch
beyond the resistance point and hold it there.
The roof closes without the pinch protection
system.

pops partway out.
Parking brake
The concept
Your BMW is equipped with an electromechan-
ical parking brake.
The parking brake is primarily intended to pre-
vent the vehicle from rolling while parked.
You can use the parking brake in two ways:
>Manually, by briefly pressing the button
>Automatically, by activating the Automatic
Hold mode, refer to page59
An electrohydraulic mechanism then engages
the parking brake to prevent the rear wheels
from turning whenever you switch off the
engine.
When the engine is running, parking brake
engagement is controlled by the brake sys-
tem's hydraulic circuits, which act on the disc
brakes in the front and rear wheels.
Brake pedal feel
The hydraulic brake system can produce a
slightly different braking feel. Engagement may
also be accompanied by activation noise – this
is normal.
Manual engagement
Briefly press the button, the word PARK
appears on the Info Display.
When the parking brake is engaged, the indica-
tor lamp on the Info Display lights up red,
refer to page12.
The remote control does not have to be
inserted into the ignition lock for the parking
brake to be set.

Cleaning windshield, headlamps and
BMW Night Vision camera*
The system sprays washer fluid against the
windshield and activates the wipers for a brief
period.
With the vehicle lighting switched on, the head-
lamps and the BMW Night Vision camera are
also cleaned simultaneously at suitable inter-
vals.
Do not use the washers if there is any
danger that the fluid will freeze on the
windshield. If you do so, your vision could be
obscured. To avoid freezing, use a washer fluid
antifreeze, refer to Washer fluid.
Avoid using the washer when the reservoir is
empty. Otherwise, you could damage the
pump.<
Windshield washer nozzles
The windshield washer nozzles and the wind-
shield itself in the area around the wipers are heated automatically when the ignition is
switched on.
Pivoting wipers into folded-out
position
This position is important for changing wiper
blades or when folding wiper arms away from
windshield to prevent blades from sticking in
the event of frost.
1.Switch off the engine and remove the
remote control from the ignition lock.
2.Press the wiper lever upward past the resis-
tance point and maintain pressure for about
3 seconds until the wipers stop in a roughly
vertical position: pivot into the folded-out
position.
After folding the wipers back against the wind-
shield you will need to reactivate the wiper sys-
tem:
1.Switch on radio ready state.
2.Briefly press wiper lever downward. The
wipers return to their retracted position and
are ready for normal operation.
To prevent damage to the wipers, always
fold them back against the windshield
before switching on either the radio ready state
or the ignition.<
Washer fluid
Washer fluid antifreeze is flammable.
Always keep it well away from sparks and
open flames, and store it in tightly closed con-
tainers well out of the reach of children. Always
follow the instructions for use provided on the
containers.<
Wiper fluid filler neck
Only refill wiper fluid when the engine is
cool in order to prevent contact with hot
engine components. Otherwise, there is a risk
of burns and personal injury if the fluid spills.<
