Giving and receiving assistance

Emergency calling*

Conditions for an emergency call:

>

Full preparation package mobile phone

>

BMW Assist is enabled. Enabling
BMW Assist, refer to separate Owner's
Manual.

>

Radio readiness is on.

>

The car phone is logged on to a mobile tele-
phone network.

>

The emergency call system is operable.

If your subscription contract with BMW Assist
expires, the car phone can be deactivated by a
BMW Center without having to schedule an
appointment at a workshop. Once the car
phone has been deactivated, emergency calls
are not possible. The car phone can be reacti-
vated by a BMW Center after signing a new
contract.

Initiating an emergency call

1.

Briefly press the cover flap to open.

2.

Press the button for at least 2 seconds.

The LED in the button lights up. As soon as the
voice connection to the BMW Assist response
center has been established, the LED flashes.
If the circumstances allow this, remain in the
vehicle until the connection has been estab-
lished. You will then be able to provide a
detailed description of the situation.

If the current location of your vehicle can be
determined, it will be transmitted to the BMW
Assist response center.
If the LED is flashing but the emergency
response center cannot be heard over the
hands-free system, it is possible that the
hands-free system is malfunctioning. The
emergency response center may still be able to
hear you, however.
Under certain conditions, an emergency call is
automatically initiated immediately after a
severe accident. The automatic emergency call
is not affected by the button being pressed.

For technical reasons, the emergency call
cannot be guaranteed under unfavorable

conditions.
