WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 BMW 550i GT, 2012 BMW 550i GT, 2011 BMW 550i GT, and 2010 BMW 550i GT. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: Initialisation is performed on the power window switch of the relevant door.
Initialisation comprises:
  • Normalisation
  • Learning characteristic curve

With normalisation, the mechanical end stops of the power window regulator are recorded and stored.
The characteristic curve is learnt immediately after normalisation.
When the characteristic curve is learnt, the mechanical closing forces of the power windows are recorded and stored for correct operation of the anti-trapping mechanism.
Initialisation, i.e. normalisation and learning of characteristic curve, is performed in a continuous operation.
