TeleService , BMW Assist
TeleService
TeleService supports you when communicat-
ing with a BMW center. The built-in car phone
can be used to transmit data on the service sta-
tus of your vehicle or legally mandated inspec-
tions directly to your BMW center. This is the
same data that is also stored for CBS Condition
Based Service in the remote control. 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 here is that your
BMW center can prepare in advance for the
required maintenance work. The TeleService
functions are country-specific: depending on
the country in which you are driving, data on
your vehicle's service status or legally man-
dated inspections are transmitted to your BMW
center either automatically before a service due
date or when you place a call to the BMW cen-
ter. Your BMW center will be glad to provide
more detailed information.
BMW Assist
BMW Assist provides you with other services in
addition to TeleService. For example, the posi-
tion data of your vehicle can be transferred to
the BMW Assist response center if an emer-
gency call
* has been initiated.
Many functions of BMW Assist depend on the
individually agreed contract. Data transmission,
e.g. of the CBS Condition Based Service, differs
from country to country.
A subscriber contract for BMW Assist must be
signed and enabling must be completed before
you can use BMW Assist.
If your contract expires, the car phone can be
deactivated by a BMW center without you hav-
ing to visit a BMW center. Once the car phone
has been deactivated, emergency calls are not
possible. The car phone can be reactivated by a
BMW center after signing a new contract.You can also utilize BMW Assist services via the
Internet. The range of services offered is
expanded continually.

vices.

be able to determine the current position.
This can be displayed on the Control Dis-
play.
>A GPS signal must be available in order for
TeleService or BMW Assist to be enabled
and updated.

BMW Assist at your BMW center or BMW
customer service.
