Notes
The voice commands were available
in English on going to print. Other lan-
guages are currently not available.<
Important for voice input
Issue the commands fluently and at normal
volume, avoiding excessive emphasis and
pauses.
On vehicles with a phone, two micro-
phones are installed near the interior rear-
view mirror of your vehicle. Although the
system is designed to filter out ambient
noise, you can help ensure that your com-
mands will be understood by observing the
following instructions:
>Keep the doors, windows and glass
roof closed to prevent interference from
ambient noise
>Avoid other sources of noise in the
vehicle while speaking, and ask other
vehicle occupants to refrain from talk-
ing while you are using the system.

TeleService , BMW Assist
TeleService
TeleService opens up a new dimension for
communication with BMW Service. The car
phone can be used to transmit data on the
service status of your vehicle or on legally
prescribed inspections directly to your
BMW center. This is the same data that is
stored for CBS Condition Based Service in
the ignition key. Your BMW center can then
contact you, and you can make an appoint-
ment that suits you while you are still on the
road. Your advantage here is that your
BMW center can prepare in advance for the
required maintenance work. The TeleSer-
vice functions are country-specific. The
data on the service status of your vehicle or
on legally required inspections is transmit-
ted on a country-specific basis either auto-
matically before they fall due or simulta-
neously when you call any service partner
you have chosen. Your BMW center will be
glad to provide more detailed information.
BMW Assist
BMW Assist is available to you if you have
ordered this option at your BMW center or
BMW customer information. This provides
you with other services in addition to
TeleService.
Many functions of BMW Assist depend on
the individually agreed contract.
The subscriber agreement must be com-
pleted successfully before using the BMW
Assist services.
Requirements
The telephone is registered in a portable
phone network that can transmit the ser-
vices.
To transmit position data, the navigation
system must be able to determine the posi-
tion. In order to enable and update TeleServices or BMW Assist, a GPS signal
must be present.
To avoid posing an unnecessary haz-
ard, both to your own vehicle's occu-
pants and to other road users: never
attempt to make adjustments while operat-
ing the vehicle.<
