142Giving and receiving assistance
Receiving assistanceThe BMW Group's Mobile Service 
offers you 24-hour assistance in the 
event of a breakdown, even on week-
ends and holidays.
The telephone numbers of the Mobile 
Service control center in your country 
are listed in the BMW Dealer Directory.
If your vehicle has the necessary equip-
ment, you can contact the Mobile Ser-
vice or issue an emergency call using 
buttons in the interior rearview mirror.
When an emergency call is initiated, a 
telephone connection is established 
with the general emergency call center.
In vehicles with activated BMW Assist 
function, a telephone connection is set 
up to the BMW Assist emergency call 
center. If the current location of your 
vehicle can be determined, this location 
is transmitted to the BMW Assist emer-
gency call center.Fold down the cover.
