BMW K 1600GTL User Manual

Switch off ignition.
The windscreen automatically
moves to the bottom limit posi-
tion.
If the windscreen encounters
resistance before it reaches
its limit position the pressure-
sensitive finger guard system
goes active. The windscreen
is stopped and raised slightly.
After a delay of a few seconds
the windscreen again attempts
to move to the bottom limit
position.
There is no guarantee that the
pressure-sensitive finger guard
system will function correctly if a
windscreen that does not have
BMW approval is installed.
Under these circumstances:
Before switching off the igni-
tion always check that there is
nothing to obstruct movement
of the windscreen.
