5 Series E60 525d (M57TU) SAL
The sequence for convenience opening is as follows:
•
both front power windows
•
after a delay, both rear power windows
•
after a delay, the sliding/tilt sunroof
The sequence for convenience closing is as follows:
•
both rear power windows
•
after a delay, both front power windows
•
after a delay, the sliding/tilt sunroof
The convenience opening/convenience closing function is stopped if the command is cancelled.
Emergency close
Emergency closing is a function for deliberate closure of the sliding/tilt sunroof without anti-trap function
(limitation of closing force). It can be necessary to resort to this function if someone attempts to reach into the
interior of the car or if mechanical difficulty is experienced in closing the sliding/tilt sunroof.
Emergency closing can be activated when the car is stopped or travelling at a speed up to 16 km/h.
Emergency closing is a two-phase operation:
Phase 1:
Press the sliding/tilt sunroof switch (in the "close" direction") to the mechanical stop. A short response time
elapses before the sliding/tilt sunroof closes at maximum speed.
If the sliding/tilt sunroof switch is released, the sliding/tilt sunroof automatically closes (with anti-trap function).
Closure is interrupted if the anti-trap function sensor trips. The direction of travel reverse and the sliding/tilt
sunroof opens by approximately 20 mm.
Phase 2:
If the sliding/tilt sunroof switch is released in phase 1 and the sliding/tilt sunroof switch is then pressed again
past the pressure point within approximately 1.5 seconds, the sliding/tilt sunroof closes without anti-trap
function. In this mode, the sliding/tilt sunroof closes with maximum force and maximum speed. If an obstruction
is encountered the motor continues to receive power until the thermal switch trips to prevent overheating.
The sliding/tilt sunroof can be opened at any time, even if the thermal switch has tripped.
Anti-trap function (limitation of closing force)
Warning! Note initialisation
The sliding/tilt sunroof has to be initialised in order for the anti-trap function to function correctly. The
sliding/tilt sunroof has to be initialised by service staff.
Anti-trap function is active over the entire range of movement in the closing direction. Anti-trap function does not
in principle prevent trapping; instead, it limits the maximum permissible force applied to the trapped object
(limitation of closing force).
Two Hall sensors are integrated into the motor in order to prevent impermissibly high closing forces. The speed
of closure can be measured on the basis of the signals from these two Hall sensors. The closing force is
calculated from the speed of closure.
Irrespective of temperature and the voltage in the on-board network, the sliding/tilt sunroof opens approximately
20 mm if the anti-trap function is tripped.
The mechanical forces involved change with ambient temperature and as a result of ageing processes.
Consequently, the closing force (mapping) is relearnt each time the sunroof closes, so that the anti-trap function
can adjust accordingly.
In each subsequent closure, the closing force currently needed is calculated and compared with the
