Giving and receiving assistance
Emergency request
When the Emergency Request is received at
the BMW Assist Response Center, the BMW
Assist Response Center contacts you and
arranges for additional steps to help you. Even if
you are unable to respond, the BMW Assist
Response Center can take further steps to help
you under certain circumstances.
Requirements
>
BMW Assist is activated.
Activating BMW Assist, refer to page 194.
>
>
Radio readiness is activated.
The BMW Assist system is logged on to a
mobile phone network.
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.
>
>
The BMW Assist system is functional.
Full preparation package mobile phone.
With this equipment, an emergency request
is still possible when no mobile phone is
paired with the vehicle.
In the event of a BMW Assist emergency call,
data that are used to determine the necessary
rescue measures, such as the current position
of your vehicle if it can be established, are trans-
mitted to the BMW Assist Response Center.
Once your BMW Assist subscription expires,
the BMW Assist system can be deactivated by
a BMW center without you having to visit a
workshop. If the BMW Assist system has been
deactivated, Emergency Requests are not pos-
sible. The BMW Assist system can be reacti-
vated by a BMW center after signing a new con-
tract.
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. The BMW
Assist Response Center may still be able to
hear you, though.
Under certain conditions, an Emergency
Request is automatically initiated immediately
after a severe accident. Automatic Collision
Notification is not affected by pressing the but-
ton.

1.

Depending on the vehicle's equipment, the
