SOS button.
Functional requirements
- Standby state is switched on.

Automatic triggering
Under certain conditions, for instance if the airbags trigger, an Emergency Request is automatically initiated immediately after an accident of corresponding severity. Automatic Collision Notification is not affected by pressing the SOS button.
Manual triggering
1. Tap the cover.
2. Press and hold the SOS button until the LED in the area of the button illuminates green.
- The LED is illuminated green when an Emergency
Request has been initiated.
If a cancel prompt appears on the Control Display, the Emergency Request can be aborted.
If the situation allows, wait in your vehicle until the voice connection has been established.
- The LED flashes green when a connection to
the BMW Response Center has been established.
The BMW Response Center then makes contact with you and takes further steps to help you.
Even if you are unable to respond, the BMW Response Center can take further steps to help you under certain circumstances.
For this, data is transmitted to the BMW Response Center which serves to determine the necessary rescue measures. For instance, the current position of the vehicle, if it can be established.
Even if you can no longer hear the BMW Response Center through the loudspeakers, the BMW Response Center may still be able to hear you.
The BMW Response Center ends the Emergency Request.
