Anti-trap windows
I suddenly saw the dreaded yellow triangle on my two week old beauty's control display. After checking her status it says that power window anti-trap deactivated? Anyone have the same problem and any easy remedy?

Schedule your X3 for service. It sounds like the pinch protection, the feature that stops and reverses the window if there is an obstruction (like a child's head) in the way. It's a safety feature.

There may be a way to reset that. I have had my moonroof malfunction many times and there is a way to reset it with the open/close switch. The same may be true for that function.
