Teleservice, Bmw Assist - BMW 525i Owner's Manual

TeleService , BMW Assist
TeleService
TeleService supports you when communicat-
ing with a BMW center. The built-in car phone
can be used to transmit data regarding the ser-
vice status of your vehicle or regarding legally
mandated inspections directly to your BMW
center. This is the same data that is also stored
for CBS Condition Based Service in the master
key. Your BMW center can then contact you,
and you can make an appointment that suits
you while you are still on the road. Your advan-
tage here is that your BMW center can prepare
in advance for the required maintenance work.
The TeleService functions are country-specific:
the data regarding the service status of your
vehicle or regarding legally mandated inspec-
tions is transmitted on a country-specific basis
either automatically before they fall due or dur-
ing your calls to the BMW center. Your BMW
center will be glad to provide more detailed
information.
BMW Assist
BMW Assist provides you with other services in
addition to TeleService. For example, the posi-
tion data of your vehicle can be transferred to
the BMW Assist response center if an emer-
*
gency call has been initiated.
Many functions of BMW Assist depend on the
individually agreed contract. Data transmission,
e.g. of the CBS Condition Based Service, dif-
fers from country to country.
The subscriber agreement must be completed
successfully before using the BMW Assist ser-
vices.
You can also use the services of BMW Assist via
the Internet. The range of services is continually
being expanded.
