gency call automatically or manually in emer‐
gency situations.
General
Press the SOS button in an emergency only.
The intelligent emergency call system estab‐
lishes a connection with the BMW emergency

Even if no emergency call through BMW is pos‐
sible, in some cases an emergency call may still
be established to a public emergency call num‐

mobile telephone network and the national regu‐
lations.
For technical reasons, it might not be possible to
make an emergency call in highly adverse condi‐
tions.
