cating in an emergency, enable certain vehicle
data to be transmitted from the vehicle.
Event Data Recorder EDR
This vehicle is equipped with an event data reâ
corder EDR. The main purpose of an EDR is to
record, in certain crash or near crash-like situaâ
tions, such as an air bag deployment or hitting
a road obstacle, data that will assist in underâ
standing how a vehicleâs systems performed.
The EDR is designed to record data related to
vehicle dynamics and safety systems for a
short period of time, typically 30 seconds or
less.
The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record
such data as:âˇHow various systems in your vehicle were
operating.âˇWhether or not the driver and passenger
safety belts were fastened.âˇHow far, if at all, the driver was depressing
the accelerator and/or brake pedal.âˇHow fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better underâ
standing of the circumstances in which
crashes and injuries occur.
EDR data are recorded by your vehicle only if a
nontrivial crash situation occurs; no data are
recorded by the EDR under normal driving
conditions and no personal data, e.g., name,
gender, age, and crash location, are recorded.
However, other parties, such as law enforceâ
ment, could combine the EDR data with the
type of personally identifying data routinely acâ
quired during a crash investigation.
To read data recorded by an EDR, special
equipment is required, and access to the vehiâ
cle or the EDR is needed. In addition to the veâ
hicle manufacturer, other parties, such as law
enforcement, that have the special equipment,
can read the information if they have access to
the vehicle or the EDR.
Reporting safety defects
For US customers
The following only applies to vehicles owned
and operated in the US.
If you believe that your vehicle has a defect
which could cause a crash or could cause inâ
jury or death, you should immediately inform
the National Highway Traffic Safety Adminisâ
tration NHTSA, in addition to notifying BMW of
North America, LLC, P.O. Box 1227, Westâ
wood, New Jersey 07675-1227, Telephone
1-800-831-1117.
If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may
open an investigation, and if it finds that a
safety defect exists in a group of vehicles, it
may order a recall and remedy campaign.
However, NHTSA cannot become involved in
individual problems between you, your dealer,
or BMW of North America, LLC.
To contact NHTSA, you may call the Vehicle
Safety Hotline toll-free at 1-888-327-4236

NHTSA, 400 Seventh Street, SW., Washingâ
ton, DC 20590. You can also obtain other inâ
formation about motor vehicle safety from
http://www.safercar.gov
For Canadian customers Canadian customers who wish to report a
safety-related defect to Transport Canada, Deâ
fect Investigations and Recalls, may telephone

Voice activation systemVehicle equipment
All standard, country-specific and optional
equipment that is offered in the model series is
described in this chapter. Therefore, equipâ
ment is also described that is not available in a
vehicle, e. g., because of the selected optional
equipment or country variant. This also applies
for safety-related functions and systems.
The conceptâˇMost functions that are displayed on the
Control Display can be operated by spoken
commands via the voice activation system.
The system prompts you to make your enâ
tries.âˇFunctions that can only be used when the
vehicle is stationary cannot be operated
using the voice activation system.âˇThe system uses a special microphone on
the driver's side.âˇâş...âš Verbal instructions in the Owner's
Manual to use with the voice activation
system.
Requirements
Via the Control Display, set a language that is
also supported by the voice activation system
so that the spoken commands can be identiâ
fied.
Set the language, refer to page 95.
Using voice activation
Activating the voice activation system1. Press the button on the steering
wheel.2.Wait for the signal.3.Say the command.
The command is displayed in the instruâ
ment cluster.
This symbol in the instrument cluster indiâ
cates that the voice activation system is active.
If no other commands are available, operate
the function in this case via iDrive.
Terminating the voice activation
system
Briefly press the button on the steerâ
ing wheel or âşCancelâš.
Possible commands Most menu items on the Control Display can
be voiced as commands.
The available commands depend on which
menu is currently displayed on the Control Disâ
play.
Short commands exist for many functions.
Some list entries, e.g., Phone book entries, can
also be selected via the voice activation sysâ
tem. Speak these list entries exactly as they
are displayed in the respective list.
Having possible commands read aloud
You can have the available commands read out
loud for you: âşVoice commandsâš
For example, if the "Settings" menu is disâ
played, the commands for the settings are
read out loud.

Notes on Emergency
Requests
Do not use the voice activation system to iniâ
tiate an Emergency Request. In stressful situaâ
tions, the voice and vocal pitch can change.
This can unnecessarily delay the establishâ
ment of a telephone connection.
Instead, use the SOS button, refer to
page 225, in the vicinity of the interior mirror.
Environmental conditionsâˇSay the commands, numbers, and letters
smoothly and with normal volume, emphaâ
sis, and speed.âˇAlways say commands in the language of
the voice activation system.âˇKeep the doors, windows, and glass sunâ
roof closed to prevent noise interference.âˇAvoid making other noise in the vehicle
while speaking.Seite 25Voice activation systemAt a glance25
