- Emergency call functions
The "Professional" car phone offers the customer a number of
emergency call functions:
The automatic emergency call is triggered as of a certain
crash severity without the driver having to take any action.
The manual emergency call is selected by hand.
A breakdown call using BMW ASSIST is only possible if a corre-
sponding service contract exists.
An emergency call is possible at any time, even if no SIM card is
inserted.
Automatic emergency call
In the event of an accident with corresponding crash severity,
the SIM transmits a crash telegram across the K-bus to the
telephone. The telephone makes the emergency call. The
telephone also receives an SMS from the navigation system
with the coordinates of the location. The telephone sends the
SMS to the service provider.
The service provider then attempts to set up a voice connection
with the vehicle occupants to obtain more information on the
accident (severity of the accident, number of injured) so that
rescue operations can be initiated.
Manual emergency call
In the central information display, there is a virtual emergency
call button in the "Telephone" menu. If the emergency call
button is activated, an attempt is made to set up a voice
connection to the service provider.
If no connection can be set up, the country-specific emergency
number is dialled (Germany 112).
