▷ Standby state is switched on.
▷ Emergency call system is functional.

▷ The LED is illuminated green when the emer‐
gency call has been activated.
If a cancellation request is displayed on the
Control Display, the emergency call can be
cancelled.
If the situation permits, wait in the vehicle un‐
til voice contact has been established.
▷ The LED flashes green when the connection
to the emergency number has been estab‐
lished.
When an emergency call is made via BMW,
data, for example the vehicle's position if this
can be determined, is sent to the public
emergency call centre in order to decide
what rescue measures are required.
If questions asked by the emergency call
centre remain unanswered, rescue measures
are implemented automatically.
Even if the vehicle occupants can no longer
hear the emergency call centre through the
loudspeakers, the emergency call centre may
still be able to hear the vehicle occupants
speak.
The emergency call centre ends the emergency
call.
