vices. For example, the position data of the
vehicle can be transmitted to the BMW Assist
Response Center when an Emergency Request
is sent.

tract individually agreed upon.

system will be deactivated by the BMW Assist
Response Center without you having to visit a
BMW center. After the BMW Assist system has
been deactivated, no BMW Assist services will
be available. The BMW Assist system can be
reactivated by a BMW center after a new con-
tract has been signed.
