2015 BMW I8 warning

When the emergency request is received
at the BMW Response Center, the BMW
Response Center contacts you and takes
further steps to help you.
Even if you are unable to respond, the
BMW Response Center can take further
steps to help you under certain circum‐
stances.
For this, data are transmitted to the BMW
Response Center which serve to deter‐
mine the necessary rescue measures. E. g.
the current position of the vehicle, if it can
be established.▷If the LED is flashing green, but the BMW
Response Center can no longer be heard
via the speaker, you can nevertheless still
be heard at the BMW Response Center.
Initiating an Emergency Request
automatically
Under certain conditions, an Emergency Re‐
quest is automatically initiated immediately af‐
ter a severe accident. Automatic Collision Noti‐
fication is not affected by pressing the SOS
button.
Warning triangle
The warning triangle is located in the bottom
of the trunk.
Release the Velcro® fastener to remove it.
First aid kit
Note
Some of the articles have a limited service life.
Check the expiration dates of the contents
regularly and replace any expired items
promptly.
Storage
The first aid kit is located in the trunk, behind
the folding cover on the left side.
Jump-starting Not jumping or directly charging the ve‐
hicle battery
Do not jump or directly charge the vehicle bat‐
tery using conventional jump starting; other‐
wise, because of the high voltage of the drive
system, there is a danger of fatal injury from
electrocution.◀
If the high-voltage battery and the vehicle bat‐
tery are discharged, it is not possible to oper‐
ate the vehicle. In this case, do not give a jump
start, but instead charge the battery as usual
using the charging cable, refer to page 156.
