Hands-free system
The hands-free microphone is located on
the front headliner.
The hands-free system is automatically
activated whenever you establish or
receive a call using the following:
> Button in the steering wheel
> Control Display
> Telephone keypad, folding
> Voice command system, only for out-
going calls.
Volume adjustment
You can adjust the volume for the hands-
free unit:
Turn the button during a call to select the
desired volume.
The hands-free unit will remain at this
volume level, even if the other audio
sources are set to minimum volume.
The system automatically selects
your individual volume setting each
time you unlock the vehicle using your per-
sonal remote control unit.<
Making an SOS call
1. To open the protective cover:
Press the protective cover, to reveal the
SOS button.
2. Press the SOS button for at least
1 second.
Conditions for an SOS call:
> The wireless communications network
is available
> The SOS call system is operable.
Once the button is pressed, the indicator
lamp on the switch will flash for the dura-
tion of the call.
If the vehicle is equipped with a navigation
system and BMW Assist, the phone system
will automatically establish contact with the
BMW Assist emergency call center. The
system also transmits the vehicle's current
location to the center at the same time.
If the navigation system fails, the cur-
rent position of the vehicle is not
transmitted.<
Following transmission of the data a confir-
mation report will appear in the Control
Display. The emergency call center can
initiate immediate action for emergency
assistance.
If it is repeatedly not possible to set up a
connection to the BMW Assist emergency
call center, a connection to the general
emergency call number 911 is set up.
If conditions allow, remain in the
vehicle until the connection has been
established. You will then be able to pro-
vide a detailed description of the situation.
Misuse of the SOS system is prohibited.<
