170nReceiving assistance  
The Roadside Assistance of the BMW  
Group offers you assistance in the  
event of a breakdown around the clock,  
also at weekends and on public holi-  
days.  
For technical reasons, the emer-  
gency call cannot be guaranteed  
under the most unfavorable condi-  
tions.<  
Under certain conditions, an emer-  
gency call is initiated automatically  
immediately after a severe accident.  
The automatic emergency call is not  
affected by the button being pressed.  
The phone numbers of the Roadside  
Assistance control center in your home  
country can be found in the BMW  
Dealer Directory.  
In the case of vehicles with the corre-  
sponding equipment, you can use  
buttons in the headlining to contact  
Roadside Assistance or initiate an  
emergency call.
