▷The LED flashes when a connection to the
BMW Response Center has been estab‐
lished.
When the emergency request is received at
the BMW Response Center, the BMW Re‐
sponse Center contacts you and takes fur‐
ther steps to help you.
Even if you are unable to respond, the BMW
Response Center can take further steps to
help you under certain circumstances.
For this purpose, data that are used to de‐
termine the necessary rescue measures,
such as the current position of the vehicle if
it can be established, are transmitted to the
BMW Response Center.▷If the LED is flashing but the BMW Response
Center cannot be heard on the hands-free
system, the hands-free system may be mal‐
functioning. However, the BMW Response
Center may still be able to hear you.

with appropriately trained personnel. Other‐
wise, there is the risk of fatal injury from electric
shock due to the hybrid system's high voltage. ◀
Hybrid system: contact with water
The hybrid system is typically safe even in the
following example situations:▷Water in the footwell, for instance after a
rainstorm when the glass sunroof is open.▷Vehicle is in the water, such as in the event
of high water levels.▷Liquid escapes in the trunk.
In these cases there is no risk of injury from elec‐
tric shock. Other damage to the vehicle is pos‐
sible.
Hybrid system: automatic deactivation
If an accident occurs, the hybrid system is
switched off automatically to prevent risk of dan‐
ger to occupants and other road users.
Read the information on What to do after an ac‐
cident, refer to page 203.
What to do after an accident
General information After an accident
After an accident, do not touch any high-
voltage components such as orange colored
high-voltage cables or parts that are in contact
with exposed high-voltage cables. Otherwise,
there is the risk of fatal injury from electric shock
due to the hybrid system's high voltage.◀
Escaping fluids
Do not touch any fluids escaping from the
high-voltage battery, or the skin can sustain
chemical burns.◀
If you are involved in an accident with your ve‐
hicle, compliance with the following additional
safety precautions is required with regard to the
hybrid system.
▷Secure the crash site.▷Immediately notify rescue forces, police, or
firefighters of the fact that your vehicle is
equipped with a hybrid system.▷Engage transmission position P, apply the
parking brake, and switch off the ignition.▷Lock the vehicle after exiting.▷Do not inhale any gases escaping from the
high-voltage battery; if necessary, maintain
a safe distance from the vehicle.Seite 203Breakdown assistanceMobility203

4.Engage transmission position N.5.Switch the engine off. In this way, the igni‐
tion remains switched on, and a Check-Con‐
trol message is displayed.
Transmission position P with the igni‐
tion off
When the ignition is switched off, position P
is engaged automatically. When in an auto‐
matic car wash, for example, ensure that the
ignition is not switched off accidentally.◀
The vehicle cannot be locked from the outside
when in transmission position N. A signal is
sounded when an attempt is made to lock the
vehicle.
Transmission position
Transmission position P is engaged automati‐
cally:
▷When the ignition is switched off.▷After approx. 15 minutes.
Headlamps
▷Do not rub dry and do not use abrasive or
caustic cleansers.▷Soak areas that have been soiled e.g. due to
insects, with shampoo and wash off with
water.▷Thaw ice with deicing spray; do not use an
ice scraper.
After washing the vehicle
After washing the vehicle, apply the brakes
briefly to dry them; otherwise, braking action can
be reduced and corrosion of the brake discs can
occur.
Completely remove all residues on the windows,
to minimize loss of visibility due to smearing and
to reduce wiper noises and wiper blade wear.
Vehicle care
Car care products
BMW recommends using cleaning and care
products from BMW, since these have been
tested and approved.
Car care and cleaning products
Follow the instructions on the container.
When cleaning the interior, open the doors or
windows.
Only use products intended for cleaning vehi‐
cles.
Cleansers can contain substances that are dan‐
gerous and harmful to your health.◀
Vehicle paint
Regular care contributes to driving safety and
value retention. Environmental influences in
areas with elevated air pollution or natural con‐
taminants, such as tree resin or pollen can affect
the vehicle's paintwork. Tailor the frequency
and extent of your car care to these influences.
Aggressive substances such as spilled fuel, oil,
grease or bird droppings must be removed im‐
mediately to prevent the finish from being al‐
tered or discolored.
Leather care
Remove dust from the leather often, using a
cloth or vacuum cleaner.
Otherwise, particles of dust and road grime
chafe in pores and folds, and lead to increased
wear and premature degradation of the leather
surface.
To guard against discoloration, such as from
clothing, provide leather care roughly every two
months.
Clean light-colored leather more frequently be‐
cause soiling on such surfaces is substantially
more visible.Seite 205CareMobility205
