TeleService , BMW Assist
TeleService
TeleService assists you when communicating
with a BMW center. The built-in car phone can
be used to transmit data regarding the service
status of your vehicle or regarding legally man-
dated inspections directly to your BMW center.
This is the same data that is also stored in the
remote control for CBS Condition Based Ser-
vice. Your BMW center can then contact you,
and you can make a convenient appointment
while your BMW center can prepare in advance
for the required maintenance work. The Tele-
Service functions are country-specific: 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.

individually agreed contract. Data transmission,
e. g. of the CBS Condition Based Service, dif-
fers from country to country.
The contract of participation with BMW Assist
and the activation must be completed before
you can use BMW Assist.
When the contract expires, the car phone can
be deactivated by a BMW center without your
having to visit a BMW center. Following deacti-
vation of the car phone, no emergency calls can
be made. The car phone can be reactivated
after signing a new contract with a BMW center.
You can also use the services of BMW Assist via
the Internet. The range of services is continually
being expanded.

the following requirements are met:
>The installed car phone is logged on to a

vices.

This can be displayed on the Control Dis-
play.

vated and updated, the GPS signal must be

port.
