traffic congestion, the route can also be

To exit from the menu:
Select the arrow and press the controller.
The route is planned according to fixed rules.
Here the road type is taken into account, e.g.
whether freeways or winding roads are con-
cerned. The road types are stored on the navi-
gation DVD. As a result, the routes recom-
mended by the navigation system may not
always be the same ones that you would
choose based on personal experience.
You can change the choice of route as often as
desired when entering the destination and
whenever the destination guidance is active.
Word matching principle
The system supports the word matching princi-
ple to make it easier for you to enter the names
of streets or towns/cities. The system runs
ongoing checks, comparing your destination
entries with the data stored on the navigation
DVD as the basis for instant response. The user
benefits include:
>Names of specific locations can also vary
from the official versions provided that the
spelling of the entry corresponds to a stan-
dard form used in another country.
Example:
Instead of 'München", you can also enter
the English spelling 'Munich' or the Italian
spelling 'Monaco'.
>When you are entering the names of towns/
cities and streets the system will complete
them automatically as soon as enough let-
ters are available to ensure unambiguous
identification.>The system only accepts name entries
beginning with letters that are stored on the
navigation DVD. The system will not accept
nonexistent names and addresses.

Safety notes
The BMW CD drives are Class 1 laser
products. Do not operate if the cover is
damaged, otherwise severe eye damage can
result.
Do not use self-recorded CDs with labels
applied as these can become detached during
playback due to the development of heat and
cause irreparable damage to the device.
Only use round CDs with a standard diameter
of 4.7 in/12 cm and do not play CDs with an
adapter, e.g. Single-CDs, otherwise the CDs
or the adapter can jam and may no longer be
ejected.
Do not use a combined CD/DVD, e.g. DVD
Plus,
as otherwise the CD/DVD can jam and will no
longer eject.<
Malfunctions
To prevent illegal CD copying, manufacturers
often use copy protection. This can mean than
some CDs cannot be played or can only be
played to a limited extent. In this case, please
contact the CD dealer or manufacturer.
You may experience playback problems, such
as skips, when using CD-Rs/CD-RWs that you
have copied at home.
If the CD that you have loaded in the drive does
not play, check to ensure that the CD has been
inserted correctly and inspect it for signs of
defects.
High levels of humidity can lead to condensa-
tion on the laser's scan lens and temporarily
prevent it from reading the CD.
Always hold CDs by the edges; do not touch the
reflecting CD memory surface.

commands*
The concept
You can operate your portable phone without
having to remove your hands from the steering

voice commands that you will learn easily after
using them a few times. In addition, you are also
supported by instructions or questions.
Symbols usedVoice commands
In ignition key position 2:
1.Press the button on the steering wheel.

readiness.
2.Read voice commands aloud.

mands possible in each case:
Canceling operation by voice
commands
Press the button on the steering wheel
or
In dialogs where text is spoken, not a command,
e.g. a name, canceling is only possible using the
button. The dialog is automatically inter-
rupted when an incoming call is received.
Voice commands
In addition to the commands described in this
Owner's Manual, alternative commands are
often possible for the same functions, e.g.:
The system recognizes digits from zero to nine.
You can say each digit individually or group
them into a sequence of three to five digits to
speed up the process.
An example: dialing phone numbers
Start the dialog:
Press the button on the steering wheel.{...} Identifies voice commands.
{{...}} Identifies instructions generated by
the system.
{Options}.
{Cancel}.
{Dial name} or {Name}.
Voice commandResponse

e.g. {123 456 7890}{{123 456 7890. Continue?}}
{Dial}{{Dialing number}}

TeleService , BMW Assist
TeleService
TeleService supports you in communicating
with your BMW center. The installed car phone
can be used to transmit data on the service sta-
tus of your vehicle or on legally mandated
inspections directly to your BMW center. These
are the same data which are stored in the mas-
ter key for CBS Condition Based Service. Your
BMW center can then contact you, and you can
make an appointment that suits you while you
are still on the road. Your advantage is that your
BMW center can prepare in advance for the
required maintenance work. The TeleService
functions are country-specific and depend on
the contract: the data on the service status of
your vehicle or on legally mandated inspections
is transmitted on a country-specific basis either
automatically before they fall due or simulta-
neously when you call your BMW center. Your
BMW center will be glad to provide more
detailed information.
BMW Assist
With BMW Assist, other services are available
to you in addition TeleService, e.g. the your
vehicle's position data can be transmitted to the
BMW Assist response center when an emer-
gency call
* has been initiated.
Many functions of BMW Assist depend on the
individually agreed contract. The data transmis-
sion, e.g. of CBS Condition Based Service, is
different in individual countries.
The subscriber agreement must be completed
successfully before using the BMW Assist ser-
vices.
Requirements
The installed car phone is logged on to a porta-
ble telephone network. This network must be
capable of transmitting the services.To transmit position data, the vehicle must be
able to determine the current position. This is
displayed on the Control Display. In order to
enable and update TeleService or BMW Assist,
a GPS signal must be present.
Enabling TeleService or BMW Assist
For you to be able to use the services of
TeleService or BMW Assist, these must be
