You can operate your portable phone without

voice commands that you will learn easily after
using them a few times. In addition, you are also
supported by instructions or questions.

You can say each digit individually or group
them into a sequence of three to five digits to
accelerate the input.

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 functions of TeleService are country-spe-
cific and depend on your contract: the data
regarding the service status of your vehicle or
regarding legally mandated inspections is
transmitted on a country-specific basis either
automatically before they fall due or during 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.
Requirements
The installed car phone is logged on to a porta-
ble telephone network. This network must be
capable of transmitting the services.
To transmit position data, the vehicle must be
able to determine the current position. This is
displayed on the Control Display. In order to
enable and update TeleService or BMW Assist,
a GPS signal must be present.
Enabling TeleService or BMW Assist
For you to be able to use the services of
TeleService or BMW Assist, these must be
enabled.
To do this, leave the ignition key in position 1
during the entire process.
Control Center, for principle details, refer to
page16.
1.Press button.
This opens the start menu.
2.Press the controller to open the menu.

Emergency calling*
Conditions for an emergency call:
>Once ignition key is in position 1.
>The car phone is logged on to a cellular
telephone network.
>The emergency call system is operable.
Initiating an emergency call
1.To open the protective cover of the keypad:
touch the protective cover.
2.Press the button for at least 2 seconds.
The indicator lamp in the button lights up.
As soon as the voice connection to the
BMW Assist response center has been
established, the indicator lamp flashes.
If conditions allow, remain in the vehicle until
the connection has been established. You will
then be able to provide a detailed description of
the situation.
If the current location of your vehicle can be
determined with vehicles with an activated
BMW Assist, it will be transmitted to the BMW
Assist response center.
Activating BMW Assist, refer to page161.
If the indicator lamp flashes, but you are unable
to hear the BMW Assist response center
through the hands-free system, this could indi-
cate, for instance, that the hands-free system
is no longer operational. However, the BMW
Assist response center may then still be able to
hear you.Under certain conditions, an emergency call
is automatically initiated immediately after a
severe accident. The automatic emergency call
is not affected by the button being pressed.
For technical reasons, the emergency call
cannot be guaranteed under unfavorable
conditions. Always observe all legal regulations
requiring a warning triangle to be carried
in the vehicle.<
The warning triangle is located in the luggage
compartment lid.
Loosen the wingnut to open.
First-aid kit*
Some of the articles contained in the first-
aid kit have a limited service life. There-
fore, check the expiration dates of the contents
regularly and replace the contents concerned in
good time if necessary. You can find replace-
ments in any pharmacy. Comply with legal
requirements requiring you to carry a first-aid
kit in the vehicle.<
