Bmw Assist - BMW 328i xDrive Owner's Manual

BMW Assist

BMW Assist*
BMW Assist provides a number of different ser-
vices. For example, the position data of the
vehicle can be transmitted to the BMW Assist
Response Center when an Emergency
*
Request is sent.
Many BMW Assist services depend on the con-
tract individually agreed upon.
After your contract has expired, the BMW
Assist system will be deactivated by the BMW
Assist Response Center without you having to
visit a BMW center. After the BMW Assist sys-
tem has been deactivated, no BMW Assist ser-
vices will be available. The BMW Assist system
can be reactivated by a BMW center after a new
contract has been signed.

in to a wireless communications network.

ting the services.

be able to determine its current position.
> To activate and update BMW Assist, a GPS
signal must be available.
> The BMW Assist service contract was
signed with your BMW center or with the
BMW Assist Response Center. The service
must have been fully enabled.
