If your subscription contract with BMW Assist expires, the car phone can be deactivated by a BMW Center without having to schedule an appointment at a workshop. Once the car phone has been deactivated, emergency calls are not possible. The car phone can be reacti- vated by a BMW Center after signing a new contract.
Initiating an emergency call 1. Briefly press the cover flap to open.
If the current location of your vehicle can be determined, it will be transmitted to the BMW Assist response center. If the LED is flashing but the emergency response center cannot be heard over the hands-free system, it is possible that the hands-free system is malfunctioning. The emergency response center may still be able to hear you, however. Under certain conditions, an emergency call is automatically initiated immediately after a severe accident. The automatic emergency call is not affected by the button being pressed.
For technical reasons, the emergency call cannot be guaranteed under unfavorable
conditions.<
Roadside Assistance The BMW Group's Roadside Assistance ser- vice is there to assist you around the clock in the event of a breakdown, including on week- ends and public holidays. The phone numbers of the Roadside Assis- tance in your home country can be found in the Contact brochure.
First aid pouch*
2. Press the button for at least 2 seconds. The LED in the button lights up. As soon as the voice connection to the BMW Assist response center has been established, the LED flashes. If the circumstances allow this, remain in the vehicle until the connection has been estab- lished. You will then be able to provide a detailed description of the situation.
The first aid pouch is located on the right-hand side of the luggage compartment in a storage area.
131
Some of the articles contained in the first aid pouch have a limited service life. Therefore, check the expiration dates of the contents reg- ularly and replace any items in good time, if nec- essary.
Warning triangle*
There must not be any contact between the bodies of the two vehicles, otherwise
there is a danger of shorting.<
Connecting jumper cables
Connect the jumper cables in the correct order, so that no sparks which could
cause injury occur at the battery.< Your BMW has a jump-starting connection in the engine compartment which acts as the bat- tery's positive terminal, refer also to the Engine compartment overview on page 119. The cap is marked with +. 1. Pull the cap of the BMW jump-starting con-
nection up to remove.
The warning triangle is located on the left-hand side of the luggage compartment. Press the tab to take it out.
Jump starting If the car's own battery is flat, your BMW's engine can be started by connecting two jumper cables to another vehicle's battery. You can also use the same method to help start another vehicle. Only use jumper cables with fully-insulated clamp handles.
Do not touch any electrically live parts when the engine is running, or a fatal acci- dent may occur. Carefully adhere to the follow- ing sequence, both to prevent damage to one or both vehicles, and to guard against possible personal injuries.<
Preparation 1. Check whether the battery of the other
vehicle has a voltage of 12 volts and approximately the same capacitance in Ah. This information can be found on the bat- tery.
2. Switch off the engine of the assisting vehi-
cle.
3. Switch off any consumers in both vehicles.
132
2. Attach one terminal clamp of the plus/+
jumper cable to the positive terminal of the battery or a starting-aid terminal of the vehi- cle providing assistance.
3. Attach the second terminal clamp of the
plus/+ jumper cable to the positive terminal of the battery or a starting-aid terminal of the vehicle to be started.
4. Attach one terminal clamp of the minus/–
jumper cable to the negative terminal of the battery or to an engine or body ground of the assisting vehicle.
Your BMW has a special nut as body ground or negative pole.
5. Attach the second terminal clamp of the
minus/– jumper cable to the negative termi- nal of the battery or to the engine or body ground of the vehicle to be started.
Starting the engine 1. Start the engine of the donor vehicle and allow it to run for a few minutes at slightly increased idle speed.
2. Start the engine on the other vehicle in the
usual way. If the first start attempt is not successful, wait a few minutes before another attempt in order to allow the discharged battery to recharge.
3. Let the engines run for a few minutes. 4. Disconnect the jumper cables by reversing
the above connecting sequence.
If necessary, have the battery checked and recharged.
Never use spray fluids to start the engine.<
Tow-starting, towing away
Observe the applicable laws and regula- tions for tow-starting and towing vehi-
cles.<
Do not transport any occupants other than the driver in a vehicle that is being
towed.<
Using a tow fitting The screw-in tow fitting must always be carried in the car. It can be screwed in at the front or rear of the BMW. It is stored in the onboard tool kit underneath the cover on the right-hand side of the luggage compartment, refer to page 125.
Use only the tow fitting provided with the vehicle and screw it all the way in. Use the tow fitting for towing on paved roads only. Avoid lateral loading of the tow fitting, e.g. do not lift the vehicle by the tow fitting. Otherwise the tow fitting and the vehicle could be damaged.<
Access to screw thread Rectangular cover panel in bumper: Press on the upper edges of the cover panel.

Rear
Being towed
Check that the car is radio-ready and that the electric steering wheel lock is not
engaged, otherwise the car would not be steer- able. If the electrical system fails, do not attempt to tow-start or tow away the car. The electric steering wheel lock cannot be disen-
133
gaged and the car is not steerable. Jump start- ing, refer to page 132. Power steering assistance is not available when the engine is not running. Thus, braking and steering will require increased effort.< Switch on the hazard warning flashers, depend- ing on local regulations.
Manual transmission Gearshift lever in idle position.
Automatic transmission Selector lever in position N. Changing selector lever positions, refer to page 47.
Do not exceed a towing speed of 45 mph or 70 km/h and a towing distance of 90 miles/150 km, otherwise the automatic transmission may be damaged.<
Sequential manual gearbox SMG With the ignition switched on, engage selector lever position N, and then switch the ignition back off.
Towing with a tow bar
The towing vehicle must not be lighter than the towed vehicle, otherwise it may
be impossible to maintain control.< The tow fittings used should be on the same side on both vehicles. Should it prove impossi- ble to avoid mounting the tow bar at an angle, please observe the following: > Clearance and maneuvering capability will
be sharply limited during cornering.
> The tow bar will generate lateral forces if it is
attached offset.
Attach the tow bar to the tow fittings only, as attaching it to other parts of the vehicle
could result in damage.<
Towing with a tow rope When starting off in the towing vehicle, make sure that the tow rope is taut.
134
To avoid jerking and the associated stresses on vehicle components when
towing, always use nylon ropes or nylon straps. Attach the tow rope to the tow fittings only, as attaching it to other parts of the vehicle could result in damage.<
Towing with a tow truck
323i*, 325i, 330i
Have the BMW transported with a tow truck with a so-called lift bar or on a flat bed.
Do not lift the vehicle by a tow fitting or body and chassis parts, otherwise dam-
age may result.<
325xi, 330xi
Do not tow a BMW with xDrive with just the front or rear axle raised, otherwise the
wheels could lock up and the transfer case could be damaged.<
Have the BMW transported on a flatbed surface only.
Tow-starting
If the electrical system fails, do not attempt to tow-start or tow away the car. The electric steering wheel lock cannot be dis-
engaged and the car is not steerable. Jump starting, refer to page 132.<
Do not tow-start vehicles with an auto- matic transmission. Only tow-start vehi- cles with a catalytic converter with the engine cold. It is better to jump start the engine, refer to page 132.< 1. Switch on the hazard warning flashers,
comply with local regulations.
2. Switch on the ignition, refer to page 42. 3. Shift into 3rd gear. Vehicles with SMG, see
below.
4. Have the vehicle tow-started with the clutch
completely depressed and slowly release the clutch. After the engine starts, immedi- ately depress the clutch completely again. 5. Stop at a suitable location, remove the tow bar or rope and switch off the hazard warn- ing flashers.
6. Have the vehicle checked. Vehicles with sequential manual gearbox SMG: 1. Have the vehicle tow-started with the selec-
tor lever in position N.
2. Select sequential mode. The correct gear is
automatically engaged.
325xi, 330xi: do not activate Hill Descent Control HDC when the vehicle is being
tow-started, page 69.<
