Emergency call*
Conditions for an emergency call:
>Ignition key as of position 1
>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 an emergency call
1.To open the protective cover of the
emergency call button:
Briefly press the protective cover
2.Press the emergency call switch 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.
If the current location of your vehicle can be
determined with vehicles with an activated
BMW Assist, it will be transmitted to the
BMW Assist response center.
Activating BMW Assist, refer to page 155.
If the indicator lamp flashes, but you are
unable to hear the BMW Assist response
center through the hands-free system, this
could indicate, for instance, that the hands-
free system is no longer operational. How-
ever, the BMW Assist response center may
then still be able to hear you.
Under certain conditions, an emergency
call is started automatically immediately
after a severe accident. The automatic
emergency call is not affected by the but-
ton being pressed.
For technical reasons, the emergency
call cannot be guaranteed under
unfavorable conditions.<
