Controls Controls
This chapter is intended to provide you with information for complete control of your vehicle. Its extensive array of features and accessories, both for driving and for your own safety, comfort and convenience, are described here.
Opening and closing
Keys/remote control
Each remote control contains a battery which is automatically charged in the ignition lock while driving. Drive a longer distance with each remote control at least twice a year to keep the battery charged. For comfort access*, the remote control contains a replaceable battery, refer to page 41. Depending on which remote control is detected by the vehicle during unlocking, different set- tings are called up and carried out in the vehicle, refer to Personal Profile, page 28. Information on the required maintenance is also stored in the remote control, refer to Service data in remote control, page 263.
Integrated key
Press button 1 to unlock the key. The integrated key fits the following locks: > Driver's door, refer to page 32
> Floor panel flap in cargo bay, refer topage 132

New remote controls To obtain additional or replace lost keys, new remote controls with an integrated key are available at your BMW Sports Activity Vehicle Center.
Personal Profile
The concept You can set a number of functions of your BMW individually according to your preferences. Per- sonal Profile ensures that most of these set- tings are stored for the remote control currently in use without you having to do anything. When the vehicle is unlocked, the corresponding remote control is detected and the settings stored for it are called up and carried out. This means that you will always find your BMW set to your own personal settings even if another person with his/her own remote control and settings has used the vehicle since the last time you drove it. The individual settings are stored for a maximum of four remote controls, for two with comfort access*.

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. The LED lights up when this safety feature is activated.
Always press the safety switch when chil- dren ride in the rear, otherwise uncon- trolled closing of the windows could lead to injuries.<
BMW X5: panorama glass sunroof* The panorama glass sunroof is ready for opera- tion with the ignition switched on, refer to page 65.
To prevent injuries, exercise care when closing the panorama glass sunroof and
keep it in your field of vision until it is closed. Always take along the remote control when you leave the vehicle, otherwise children could, for example, operate the roof and injure them- selves.<
Separate switches for the rear windows are located in the rear. For information on using convenience opera- tion at the door lock or with the remote control, refer to page 30 or 32. For information on comfort closing with comfort access, refer to page 40.
After switching off ignition You can still operate the windows with the remote control removed or the ignition switched off for approx. 1 minute, as long as neither of the front doors has been opened.
Pinch protection system If the closing force rises beyond a predefined threshold during closing, the system will stop moving the window prior to lowering it again slightly.
Despite the pinch protection system, inspect the window's travel path prior to
closing it, as the safety system might fail to detect certain kinds of obstructions, such as 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.<
Closing without pinch protection system In case of danger from outside or if, for example, ice on the window prevents normal closing, pro- ceed as follows: 1. Pull the switch beyond the resistance point
and hold. The pinch protection system is limited and the window opens slightly if the closing force exceeds a certain value.
2. Pull the switch beyond the resistance point
and hold again within approx. 4 seconds. The window closes without the pinch pro- tection system.
42
Raising, opening, closing
Raising Press the switch. The closed sunroof is raised and the sliding visor opens slightly.
Do not use force to close the sliding visor with the glass sunroof in its raised posi-
tion, otherwise the mechanism will be dam- aged.<
Opening, closing
Sliding visor You can move the sliding visor independently with the sunroof closed or raised. > Slide the switch back to the resistance
point. The sliding visor opens as long as you keep the switch in this position.
> Briefly press the switch back beyond the
resistance point. The sliding visor will open automatically. Briefly pressing the switch stops the motion.
You can close the sliding visor in a similar man- ner by sliding the switch forwards.
Panorama glass sunroof With the sliding visor open, proceed as described under Sliding visor. For information on using convenience opera- tion at the door lock or with the remote control, refer to page 30 or 32. For information on comfort closing with comfort access, refer to page 40.
Opening and closing sunroof and sliding visor together Briefly press the switch beyond the resistance point twice consecutively. Briefly pressing the switch stops the motion.
Comfort mode > Press the switch twice with the sunroof
open: The sunroof is raised.
> When the sunroof is raised, briefly press the
switch twice in the opening direction: The sunroof is opened all the way.
Comfort position In the comfort position, the sunroof is not com- pletely open; this reduces wind noise in the passenger compartment. Each time the panorama glass sunroof is com- pletely opened or closed, it stops in the comfort position. If desired, continue the motion follow- ing this with the switch.
After switching off ignition You can still operate the roof for approx. 1 minute, as long as no door has been opened.
Pinch protection system If the panorama glass sunroof or sliding visor encounter resistance when closing from roughly one third of the sunroof opening or when closing from the raised position, the clos- ing action is interrupted and the panorama glass sunroof and sliding visor reopen a little.
Despite the pinch protection system, inspect the sunroof'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 sunroof would con- tinue closing.<
43
Closing without pinch protection system In case of danger from outside, slide the switch forward beyond the resistance point and hold. The roof closes without the pinch protection system.
Following interruptions in electrical power supply After a power loss, the sunroof may only respond to the raise command. Then have the system initialized. BMW recommends having this work carried out by your BMW Sports Activity Vehicle Center.
Moving manually* In the event of an electrical malfunction, you can move the sunroof manually: 1. Remove trim piece. To do so, gently lift the corner of the trim piece with a screwdriver.
3. Release and disconnect the motor plug.
This significantly reduces the effort required for the manual movement.
4.
Insert the Allen wrench* from the onboard tool kit, refer to page 269, into the opening provided. Move the panorama glass sunroof in the desired direction.
