BMW 5 Series: Pinch protection system
If the closing force when closing the glass sunroof exceeds a certain value, the closing movement is stopped, beginning at approximately the middle of the opening in the roof, or from the tilted position during closing.
The glass sunroof opens again slightly.

closing action may not be interrupted in certain
extreme situations, such as when thin objects
are present.◀

resistance point and hold until the roof
closes without pinch protection.
