Functional requirements
▷ Standby state is switched on.
▷ The Assist system is functional.
▷ The integrated SIM card in the vehicle has
been activated.
Automatic triggering
Under certain conditions, for example if the
airbags are deployed, an emergency call is au-
tomatically triggered immediately after an acci-
dent of corresponding severity. Automatic Col-
lision Notification is not affected by pressing
the SOS button.
Manual triggering
1. Tap the cover flap.
2. Press and hold the SOS button until the
LED in the area of the button illuminates
green.
▷ The LED is illuminated green when an
emergency call has been initiated.
If a cancel prompt appears on the control
display, the emergency call can be aborted.
If the situation allows, wait in the vehicle
until the voice connection has been estab-
lished.
▷ The LED flashes green when a connection
to the BMW Response Center has been es-
tablished.
The BMW Response Center then makes
contact with the occupants of the vehicle
and initiates further steps to help.
Even if you are unable to respond, the
BMW Response Center can take further
steps to help you under certain circumstan-
ces.
For this purpose, data that serves to deter-
mine the necessary rescue measures, for
instance the current position of the vehicle
when it can be determined, is transmitted
to the BMW Response Center.

Even if the BMW Response Center is no
longer heard through the loudspeakers, the
BMW Response Center may still be able to
hear the occupants of the vehicle.
The BMW Response Center ends the emer-
gency call.
Malfunction
The function of the emergency call may be im-
paired.
The LED near the SOS button flashes for ap-
proximately 30 seconds. A Check Control mes-
sage is displayed.

lowing circumstances, among others:

Have the vehicle checked by an authorized
service center or another qualified service cen-
ter or repair shop.
