Giving and receiving assistance

Receiving assistance
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 holidays.
The phone numbers of the Roadside Assis-
tance 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 buttons
in the headlining to contact Roadside
Assistance or start an emergency call.
When an emergency call is started, a tele-
phone 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 loca-
tion of your vehicle can be determined, this
is transferred to the BMW Assist emer-
gency 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.
