Sunroof Operation

I've read the manual but can't find the answer anywhere.
How do you close the sunroof from the tilted position. Tilting the roof is easy - just push the button. But how do you close it again? Press the button one way and the blind closes. Press it the other way and the roof untilts (if that's the right word) but then carries on and opens. Is there a knack to closing it?

Try just pushing the button forward once and that should close the tilt up.

This.
BMW got too clever by half having one switch controlling six events. It can be a distraction when driving.

Thanks for the answers guys! It seems you need to push the button forward enough to close the tilt but not too much to close the blind. Hopefully I will get plenty of chances to get used to using it now the weather is warming up.
The switch does seem to be over complicated. The sunroof on my Old Tiguan was opened with a large dial which when pushed or pulled at the back operated the tilt. The blind was operated by two buttons in the centre of the dial. All very logical in practice.

My bride's A4 works exactly the same way as Royal's Tig, and it is entirely intuitive. Take note, ergo experts at BMW, and change suppliers.
