BMW 7 Series: Glass sunroof- Jam protection system

Concept

The jam protection prevents objects or body parts from becoming jammed between the roof and glass sunroof while the glass sunroof is closing.

General information

If a resistance or blockage is detected while the glass sunroof is closing, the closing operation is interrupted once the roof reaches the half-open position, or it is stopped when closing from the tilted position.

Closing from the open position without jam protection

In case of danger from the outside or if ice might prevent normal closing, proceed as follows:


  1. Close all doors.
  2. Push the switch forward past the resistance point and hold.

    The glass sunroof closes with limited jam protection. If the closing force exceeds a specific threshold, closing is interrupted.

  3. Push the switch forward again past the resistance point and hold until the glass sunroof closes without jam protection. Make sure that the closing area is clear.

Closing from the lifted position without jam protection

In case of danger from the outside or if ice might prevent normal closing, proceed as follows:


  1. Close all doors.
  2. Push the switch forward past the resistance point and hold.

Initializing after a power interruption

General information

After a power failure during the opening or closing process, the glass sunroof can only be operated to a limited extent. Initializing the system can help in this case.

The system can be initialized under the following conditions:

  • The vehicle is parked in a horizontal position.
  • The drive-ready state is established.
  • The external temperature is above 41 ºF/5 ºC.

During initialization, the glass sunroof closes without jam protection.

Make sure that the closing area is clear.

Initializing the system

Press the switch up and hold it
until the initialization is complete:

Initialization begins within 15 seconds.

  • If the glass sunroof is closed, it opens then closes again.
  • If the glass sunroof is open, it first closes, then opens and closes again.

Initialization is complete once the glass sunroof and sun protection have opened then closed again.
