▷ The LED flashes green when the connection
to the emergency number has been estab‐
lished.
When an emergency call is sent via BMW,
data is sent to the emergency call centre in
order to decide what rescue measures are re‐
quired. The data may include, for example,
the current position of the vehicle, if this can
be determined.
If questions posed by the emergency call
centre remain unanswered, rescue measures
are implemented automatically.
Even if you can no longer hear the emer‐
gency call centre through the loudspeakers,
the emergency call centre may still be able to
hear you speak.
The emergency call centre ends the emergency
call.
