When the contact of participation with
BMW Assist expires, the car phone can be
deactivated by a BMW center without 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.

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 response
center has been established, 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 response center.
If the LED flashes, but you are unable to hear
the BMW Assist response center through the
handsfree system, this could indicate, for
instance, that the handsfree system is no longer
operational. But the response 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.
