Giving and receiving assistance
Emergency call*
Conditions for an emergency call:
> Ignition key in position 1 or greater.
> The car phone is logged on to a portable
telephone network.
> The emergency call system is operable.
Coupe: emergency call button.
Convertible: emergency call button.
Initiating emergency call
1. To open the protective cover of the emer-
gency call button:
Briefly press the protective cover.
2. Press the emergency call button for at least
2 seconds.
The indicator lamp in the button lights up.
As soon as the voice connection to the
BMW Assist response center has been
established, the indicator lamp flashes.
If conditions allow, remain in the vehicle until
the connection has been established. You will
then be able to provide a detailed description of
the situation.
In vehicles with BMW Assist enabled, if the cur-
rent position of your vehicle can be determined,
it will be transmitted to the BMW Assist
response center.
Enabling BMW Assist, refer to page
159 .
If the indicator lamp flashes, but you are unable
to hear the BMW Assist response center
through the hands-free system, this could indi-
cate, for instance, that the hands-free system is
no longer operational. However, the BMW
Assist response center may then still be able to
hear you.
Under certain conditions, an emergency call is
initiated automatically immediately after a
severe accident. An automatic emergency call
is not affected by the emergency call button
being pressed.
For technical reasons, the emergency call
cannot be guaranteed under unfavorable
conditions. <
