Controls and features -> Electric power windows for Your BMW Z8 Roadster First Generation (2000-2003)

40nElectric power windows  
Use switch 2 to select the window you  
wish to open or close:  
Because the power windows are  
sealed at high pressure to prevent  
wind noise when closed, a powerful  
motor is required for efficient closing.  
When closing the windows, always  
ensure that they are not obstructed in  
any way. Unsupervised use of these  
systems can result in serious personal  
injury. Remove the ignition key to deac-  
tivate the electric power windows  
whenever you leave the vehicle. Never  
leave the keys in the vehicle with unsu-  
pervised children.  
> Driver's window  
Push the switch all the way to the left  
> Passenger-side window  
Push the switch all the way to the  
right  
> To activate both windows at the  
same time:  
Move the switch to the center posi-  
tion.  
The switch on the passenger-side door  
activates the window for that side only.  
To open and close the windows  
Never place anything that could  
obstruct the driver's vision on or next to  
the windows.<  
From ignition key position 1:  
After the ignition has been switched off:  
> Depress the rocker switch 1 until you  
feel resistance:  
Provided that no door is opened in the  
intervening period, the electric power  
windows remain available for operation  
for up to 15 minutes.  
The window remains in motion for as  
long as you maintain pressure on the  
switch  
To use the convenience mode via the  
door lock or the remote control, refer to  
page 32 or 34.  
> Briefly press rocker switch 1 to just  
beyond the initial point of resistance  
(one-touch mode):  
The window automatically remains in  
motion until it reaches the end of its  
travel. Briefly press the switch a  
second time to stop the window.  
The one-touch mode cannot be  
used to close the passenger-side  
window.<
