▷ The LED flashes green when a connection
to the BMW Response Center has been es-

steps to help you under certain circumstan-

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.

lowing circumstances, among others:
