Giving and receiving assistance
Emergency request
Even if you are unable to answer, the BMW
Assist Response Center can take further steps
to help you under certain conditions.
Conditions for an emergency request:
>
Full preparation package mobile phone.
With this equipment, an emergency request
is still possible when no mobile phone is
paired in the vehicle.
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.
>
BMW Assist is activated.
Activating BMW Assist, refer to page 194.
If the current position of your vehicle can be
determined, it will be transmitted to the BMW
Assist Response Center.
>
>
Radio readiness is activated.
The BMW Assist system is logged on to a
mobile phone network.
If the LED is flashing but the BMW Assist
Response Center cannot be heard over the
hands-free system, it is possible that the
hands-free system is malfunctioning. You may
still be heard by the BMW Assist Response
Center, however.
>
The emergency request system is opera-
ble.
Once your BMW Assist subscription expires,
the BMW Assist system can be deactivated by
a BMW center without you having to visit a
workshop. Once the BMW Assist system has
been deactivated, emergency requests are not
possible. The BMW Assist system can be reac-
tivated by a BMW center after signing a new
contract.
Under certain conditions, an emergency
request is automatically initiated immediately
after a severe accident. The automatic collision
notification is not affected by the button being
pressed.
For technical reasons, the emergency request
cannot be guaranteed under unfavorable condi-
tions.
