Once your service contract for BMW Assist ex‐
pires, the BMW Assist system can be deacti‐
vated by a BMW center without you having to
visit a workshop. Once the BMW Assist system
has been deactivated, Emergency Requests are
not possible. The BMW Assist system can be
reactivated by a BMW center after a new con‐

Response Center may still be able to hear you.
