Requirements for initiating an emer-
gency call or contacting Mobile Service:
>Ignition key in position 1 or higher
>The car phone must be registered
with a mobile network
>The emergency call system must be
operational.
Initiating an emergency call*Press button 1 for at least 2 seconds.
The indicator lamp above the buttons
lights up. As soon as a telephone con-
nection has been set up to the BMW
Assist response center, the indicator
lamp flashes.
If the situation permits you to do so,
wait in the vehicle until the voice con-
nection is established. You can then
provide detailed information to the
response center.
If your vehicle is equipped with an acti-
vated BMW Assist and the current loca-
tion of the vehicle can be determined,
this location is transmitted to the BMW
Assist response center.
If the navigation system has failed,
the current location of the vehicle
is not transmitted.<
If the indicator lamp is flashing but you
cannot hear the BMW Assist response
center over the hands-free system, it is
possible that e.g. the hands-free sys-
tem is malfunctioning. The BMW Assist
response center can still hear you,
however.
If certain requirements are met, an
emergency call is automatically initiated
after a serious accident. The automatic
emergency call will not be hindered by
pressing the button.
For technical reasons, the emer-
gency call function cannot be
guaranteed in certain unfavorable con-
ditions.<
