Emergency call

Conditions for an emergency call:

Full mobile phone preparation package

BMW Assist is activated.
Activating BMW Assist, refer to page

174

Radio readiness is activated.

The car phone is logged on to a cellular
telephone network.

The emergency call system is operable.

When the contract for your BMW Assist plan
expires, a BMW center can deactivate the car
phone without your having to visit a workshop.
Following deactivation of the car phone, no
emergency calls can be made. The car phone
can be reactivated after signing a new contract
with a BMW center.

Initiating an emergency call

Briefly press protective cover to open.
With some vehicle equipment packages or
in the Convertible, the arrangement of the
switches and indicator lamps may differ
somewhat.

Press the button for at least 2 seconds.
The LED in the button lights up. As soon as
the voice connection to the BMW Assist
emergency call center has been estab-
lished, the LED flashes.

If conditions allow, remain in the vehicle until
the connection has been established. You will
then be able to provide a detailed description of
the situation.
If the current location of your vehicle can be
determined, it will be forwarded to the
BMW Assist emergency call center.
If the LED flashes, but you are unable to hear
the BMW Assist emergency call center through
the handsfree system, this could indicate, for
instance, that the handsfree system is no longer
operational. But the emergency call center is
still able to hear you.
Under certain conditions, an emergency call is
automatically initiated immediately after a
severe accident. The automatic emergency call
is not affected by the button being pressed.

For technical reasons, the emergency call
cannot be guaranteed under the most

unfavorable conditions.

Warning triangle*

The warning triangle can be found in the lug-
gage compartment on the left side.
