Automatic power windows with electric drive (BMW 5 Series E28)

They are turned on when the ignition key is turned to position 2.

In the rear of the cabin, under the windows, there are separate switches.

Inching control - by pushing the corresponding switch the driver's window can be opened and closed, the other windows can only be opened.

Lockout switch (arrow)

It is used to block manipulation (for example, children) automatic retractable rear windows.

Comfortable control of electric windows and sliding/lifting sunroof

After turning off the ignition it is possible:

• when turning the key in the ignition switch to position 0 or
• with the key removed, and also
• when the doors are first opened

In order to close the windows or sliding - lifting hatch after closing the doors, hold the key in the door lock in one of the two locking positions until they lock (comfortable closing).

Uncontrolled and careless closing of windows may result in bodily harm. Therefore, do not allow children to play with switches.

If there are children in the vehicle, make sure that the interlock switch (arrow) is pressed to prevent manipulation of the rear windows via the corresponding switches located in the rear of the passenger compartment.



When leaving the vehicle, be sure to remove the key from the ignition.

Automatic electric tilt-and-slide sunroof

It turns on when the ignition key is turned to position 2.

• Raise up - press the switch.
• Open - move the switch back.
• Close - move the switch forward.

Push control - opening and closing of the slightly open hatch is performed by pushing the switch in the appropriate direction. When the switch is pushed again, the movement stops.

To avoid excessive vacuum or drafts in the passenger compartment when the sunroof is open and especially when the sunroof is raised while driving, the air vents should be kept open and, if necessary, the air supply should be increased.

If the electric drive fails, the hatch can be operated manually.

The system is protected from overloads and mechanical interference by an automatic fuse.

Double lift-and-slide sunroof

For ventilation, you can lift the front hatch, and also move both hatches together or separately.

Turns on when the ignition key is turned to position 2.

After turning off the ignition, control is possible:

• with the key removed, and also
• when the doors are first opened.

Comfortable closing

In order to close the windows or sliding-lifting hatch after closing the doors, hold the key in the door lock in one of the two locking positions until they lock.

If the ignition key is in position 0, the system switches off automatically after approximately 15 minutes.

Control engine

Automatic movement of the hatches occurs by pressing the switch slider in the appropriate direction. When the switch is pressed again, the movement stops.

Slide the switch back or press and release briefly - the front hatch will lift up. With the hatch fully open, briefly press and release again or move the switch - the front hatch will move back.

Press the switch or press briefly and release - the double sliding and lifting hatch will close from any position.

Slide the switch forward or press and release briefly - the front hatch will lift. With the front hatch fully open, briefly press and release or move the switch again - the rear hatch will move forward.

When fully open, the rear hatch is connected to the front hatch. The next time you press the switch, you can move both hatches in any direction.

When moving in both directions, both hatches stop in a certain position, optimal for ventilation.

Protective functions

In case of danger, each movement of the hatch can be interrupted by briefly pressing the switch.

If, when closing one of the hatches via a push switch or door lock, they encounter an obstacle, the closing will be interrupted and the hatch will move slightly in the opposite direction.



If the switch is pressed for more than 10 seconds and the hatch does not move or the power supply is interrupted (for example, the battery was disconnected), then the sunroof control must be reactivated. To do this, press the switch until the sunroof is completely closed or, if it was already closed, press the switch briefly.

To avoid excessive vacuum or drafts in the passenger compartment when the sunroof is open and especially raised

during movement, the air nozzles should be kept open and, if necessary, the air supply should be increased.

If the electric drive fails, the hatch can be operated manually.

The system is protected from overloads and mechanical interference by an automatic fuse.

When mounting a ski rack on the roof, to ensure there is sufficient space to lift the front hatch, ensure that the ski carriers are secured at the front.

Mechanical lift-and-slide sunroof

Open - fold back the handle and rotate it counterclockwise.

Raise up — with the hatch closed, turn the handle clockwise.

Lower - turn the handle counterclockwise, when closing it is necessary to overcome the point of resistance.
