Emergency call
Intelligent emergency call
Principle
The system can be used to trigger an emer‐
gency call automatically or manually in emer‐
gency situations.
General
Press the SOS button in an emergency only.
Even if no emergency call through BMW is pos‐
sible, in some cases an emergency call may still
be established to a public emergency call num‐
ber. This depends on factors such as the specific
mobile telephone network and the national regu‐
lations.
For technical reasons, it might not be possible to
make an emergency call in highly adverse condi‐
tions.

Operating requirements
▷ Standby state is switched on.
▷ Emergency call system is functional.
▷ If the vehicle is equipped with intelligent
emergency call: the SIM card integrated into
the vehicle is activated.
Automatic triggering
In certain circumstances, for example deploy‐
ment of the airbags, an emergency call may be
placed automatically immediately after an acci‐
dent of corresponding severity. An automatic
emergency call is not influenced by pressing the
SOS button.
Manual triggering
1. Tap on cover flap.
2. Press and hold SOS button until the LED on
the microphone illuminates green.
▷ The LED is illuminated green when the emer‐
gency call has been activated.
If a cancellation request is displayed on the
Control Display, the emergency call can be
cancelled.
If the situation permits, wait in the vehicle un‐
til voice contact has been established.
▷ The LED flashes green when the connection
to the emergency number has been estab‐
lished.
When an emergency call is sent via BMW,
data is sent to the emergency call centre in
order to decide what rescue measures are re‐
quired. The data may include, for example,
the current position of the vehicle, if this can
be determined.
If questions posed by the emergency call
centre remain unanswered, rescue measures
are automatically initiated.
Even if you can no longer hear the emer‐
gency call centre through the loudspeakers,
the emergency call centre may still be able to
hear you speak.
