The Roadside Assistance of the BMW
Group offers you assistance in the
event of a breakdown around the clock,
also at weekends and on public holi-
days.
The phone numbers of the Roadside
Assistance control center in your home
country can be found in the BMW
dealer directory.
In the case of vehicles with the corre-
sponding equipment, you can use but-
tons in the headlining to contact Road-
side Assistance or start an emergency
call.
When an emergency call is triggered, a
telephone connection is set up to the
general emergency call center.
In vehicles where BMW Assist is
enabled, the phone system will also
automatically establish contact with the
BMW Assist emergency call center. If
the current location of your vehicle can
be determined, this is transferred to the
BMW Assist emergency call center.
The condition for starting an emergency
call or contacting Roadside Assistance:
> The car phone is logged on to a
mobile telephone network
> The emergency call system is
operable.
