BMW 325Ci Coupe (2006 year). Instruction

Opening and closing

Raising

Press the switch.

The closed glass sunroof is raised and the
sliding visor opens slightly.

The open glass sunroof automatically trav-
els into the raised position. The sliding visor
remains completely open.

Opening, closing

Push 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.

Push the switch backwards past the resis-
tance point.
The glass sunroof and the sliding visor open
automatically. Briefly push the switch again
to stop the opening movement.

You can close the glass sunroof in a similar
manner by pushing 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

After switching off the ignition

When the remote control is removed or the igni-
tion is switched off, you can still operate the
sunroof for approx. 1 minute as long as no door
has been opened.

Pinch protection system

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 pinch protection system
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.
Pushing the switch beyond the resistance point
and holding it there deactivates the pinch pro-
tection system.

Following interruptions in electrical

power supply

After a power failure, there is a possibility that
the glass sunroof can only be raised. The sys-
tem 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:

Unclip the front of the cover of the interior
lamps using the screwdriver from the
onboard tool kit, refer to page

117

ba5_E9293_EUR_US.book Seite 28 Donnerstag, 4. Mai 2006 1:08 13

Insert the screwdriver into the openings on
each side to press the clips.

Remove the control unit.

Unplug the motor. Considerably less effort
will be required for manual operation.

Insert the Allen wrench supplied with the
onboard tool kit, refer to page

117

, into the

opening provided. Move the glass sunroof
in the desired direction.

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,
i.e. not resting feet or legs on the dashboard.
Otherwise leg injury could result should the
front airbag deploy.
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. Make sure that the belt in the lap area sits
low across the hips and does not press against
the abdomen.
The safety belt must not rest against the throat,
run across sharp edges, pass over hard or frag-
ile objects or be pinched. Fasten the safety belt
so that it sits as snugly as possible against the
lap and shoulder without being twisted. Other-
wise the belt could slide over your hips and
injure your abdomen in the event of a frontal
collision.
Avoid wearing bulky clothing and regularly pull
the belt in the upper-body area taut, otherwise
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

ba5_E9293_EUR_US.book Seite 30 Donnerstag, 4. Mai 2006 1:08 13

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.

'Fasten safety belts' reminder for front

seats

The indicator lamp comes on and an
acoustic signal sounds. Check
whether the safety belt has been fas-
tened correctly.

The 'Fasten safety belts' reminder is issued as
long as the driver's safety belt has not been fas-
tened. The 'Fasten safety belts' reminder is also
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 or child-
restraint systems, 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 cor-
respondingly trained personnel. Otherwise, it is
not guaranteed that the safety devices will func-
tion properly.

Belt hand-over

The concept

The belt hand-over makes it easier for you to
fasten your safety belt. When you close the
door and switch on the ignition or turn the igni-
tion key to the radio-ready position, the belt
hand-over extends automatically and presents
the belt in a position that is convenient for fas-
tening it around you. After you have fastened
your safety belt, the belt hand-over retracts to
its original position.

Even if you have not yet fastened your safety
belt, the belt hand-over will retract if you:

wait for more than approx. one minute

open the corresponding door

start to drive.

Closing the respective door reactivates the belt
hand-over if the ignition or radio-readiness are
on.

ba5_E9293_EUR_US.book Seite 36 Donnerstag, 4. Mai 2006 1:08 13

Front passenger's seat

The belt hand-over will extend only if the seat is
occupied and after the front passenger's door is
closed.

Mirrors

Exterior mirrors

The front passenger's mirror is more convex
than the driver's mirror. The objects seen in the
mirror are closer than they appear. Do not
gauge your distance from traffic behind you on
the basis of what you see in the mirror; other-
wise there is an increased risk of an accident.

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.

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.
Both 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-passenger airbags must be
deactivated. Otherwise, a child traveling on that
seat will be at a significant risk of injury if the air-
bags are triggered off, 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 page

Installing child-restraint

systems

Observe the child-restraint system man-
ufacturer's instructions when selecting,

installing and using child-restraint systems.

Otherwise the protective effect may be dimin-
ished.

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.

Backrest width*

The backrest width of the front passenger
seat must be adjusted to its widest set-

ting. Otherwise the child seat cannot rest com-
pletely against the backrest. After installing the
child seat, do not call up any seat memory posi-
tions. Otherwise there is a risk of injury.

Adjust the backrest width to its widest set-
ting, refer to page

Install the child seat.

Child seat security

The rear safety belts and the front passenger's
safety belt can be prevented from being pulled
out in order to fasten child-restraint systems.

To lock the safety belt

Secure the child-restraint system with the
belt.

Pull the belt strap all the way out.

Allow the belt strap to retract and pull it taut
against the child-restraint system.

The safety belt is locked.

Driving

Starting the engine

Do not run the engine in closed rooms,
otherwise the inhalation of toxic exhaust

gases can cause unconsciousness and death.
The exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide,
an odorless and colorless, but highly toxic gas.
Never leave an unattended vehicle with the
engine running, otherwise such a vehicle repre-
sents a potential safety hazard.
Before leaving the car with the engine running,
place the transmission in idle or move the
selector lever to position P and apply the hand-
brake to prevent the car from moving.

When starting the engine, do not press the
accelerator pedal.
Do not allow the engine to warm up by leaving it
running while the vehicle remains stationary.
Instead, begin to drive at a moderate engine
speed.

Do not depress either the brake or the
clutch until you are ready to start the

engine. The engine is started when you briefly
touch the start/stop button and depress the
brake if the car has automatic transmission, or
the clutch if the car has manual transmission.

Manual transmission

Apply the handbrake.

Depress the clutch and shift to idle position.

attempt, for instance when it is extremely
hot or cold.

If the engine is started at very low tempera-
tures, below approx. + 5

7/–156, at high

altitudes above approx. 3,300 ft/1,000 m.

Avoid frequent starting in quick succes-
sion or repeated start attempts in which

the engine does not start. Otherwise, the fuel is
not burned or inadequately burned and there is
a danger of overheating and damaging the cat-
alytic converter.
