4. Select "BMW Assist" and press the control-
ler.
5. Select "INITIALISE" and press the control-
ler.
The system runs through four phases in order
to establish contact with BMW Service and the
services you have chosen.
Initialising takes up to 9 minutes. The status is
indicated on the control display. During initialis-
ing, you can operate other equipment items at
any time via iDrive. Initialising continues in the
background.
Please leave the ignition switched on
while the system is being initialised.
BMW Assist services cannot be called up until
the system has been initialised.
To ensure that the data can be transferred, ini-
tialising must be performed while the car is sta-
tionary.<
If you have not yet applied to use BMW Assist,
the process is interrupted; you can be put
through to a BMW operator to request informa-
tion on how to apply. Your mobile phone must
first be logged onto the vehicle, see page 198.
Once initialising has been successfully com-
pleted, the system switches to the overview of
services available.
