This also applies to safety-relevant functions

General

Traffic information from radio stations sending

a traffic warning service on the Traffic Mes‐

sage Channel, TMC, is shown in the map view

and considered when calculating route. Infor‐

mation on traffic obstructions and dangers is

continuously updated.

Traffic information is displayed on the map by

symbols.

For particular dangers, for example objects on

the road, a message is displayed.

Some danger messages are also displayed as

Check Control message in instrument cluster.

Display of map view in the function bar

Symbol Function

Yellow symbol:

The traffic information concerns the

calculated route and the expected

delay is less than 20 minutes.

Red symbol:

The expected delay is more than 20

minutes or there is a blockage of

the risk information for the route.

Symbol Function

Grey symbol:

No traffic information is available or

the expected delay is less than

5 minutes.

There is an appropriate diversion

for the traffic information.

Real-Time Traffic Information, RTTI

In some countries additional bookable services

send real-time traffic information, RTTI, which

is then used and shown instead of traffic infor‐

mation from the radio station.

The location of traffic obstructions is specified

more comprehensively and precisely with real-

time traffic information. In addition, the traffic

situation off the motorways, for example, on

side streets and urban roads, is extensively re‐

corded and shown. Diversion recommenda‐

tions can be calculated more precisely on the

basis of this information. This lowers the risk of

coming across another traffic obstruction on

diversions. Several recommended diversions

or further information may be provided.

During journeys in countries in which real-time

traffic information is available, the traffic infor‐

mation continues to use radio stations.

It is shown in the bar of the map view, see

page 17, whether TMC or RTTI traffic informa‐

tion is used.

system is currently calculating the position.

Reception will normally be possible out‐

doors.

Why is a destination not transferred to the

route guidance system?

▷No city centre can be determined for the

town/city entered.

Enter any street in the town/city selected

and start route guidance.

Why is a destination not transferred to the

route guidance system?

▷The data for the destination is not available

in the navigation data. Choose a destina‐

tion as close as possible to the original

one.

Why can letters not be selected for destination

input?

▷The data for the destination is not available

in the navigation data. Choose a destina‐

tion as close as possible to the original

Why are spoken instructions no longer given

immediately before junctions during route

guidance?

▷The area is not fully recorded, or you have

deviated from the suggested route and the

system requires a few seconds to calculate

Rear phone

Principle

The rear phone consists of a handset and a

snap-in adapter.

Via a SIM card, it is used just like a mobile tele‐

phone, with the advantage that the handset

can be used.

When the snap-in adapter is connected to the

vehicle, it is possible to make phone calls via

the hands-free system in the front and via the

handset in the rear.

Calls can be transferred from the handset to

the hands-free system and vice versa.

Through the integrated WiFi hotspot, various

devices, such as a notebook, for example, can

connect to the Internet wirelessly with WLAN.

General

Service providers

Many functions depend on the service provider

and contract.

If you have any other questions, contact the

service provider directly.

TWIN SIM cards

If so-called TWIN SIM cards (cards with the

same phone number) are used as SIM cards in

the snap-in adapter and in an additional mobile

telephone, the device not being used must be

switched off, otherwise the function of the rear

phone is not ensured.

Overview

Handset and snap-in adapter

Handset and snap-in adapter are in the centre

armrest in the rear.

The arrangement of the handset and snap-in

adapter can vary depending on fitted equip‐

ment.

leted. Only one Bluetooth headset at a time

can be registered and connected.

Functional requirements

Services and applications

Vehicle equipment

This chapter describes all standard, national

and special equipment provided in the model

series. Equipment not available in the vehicle is

therefore also described, for example the se‐

lected special equipment or country variant.

This also applies to safety-relevant functions

and systems. Comply with the relevant laws

and regulations when using the corresponding

functions and systems.

BMW Teleservices

Principle

Teleservices are services that help to keep the

vehicle mobile.

General

The offer depends on the vehicle equipment

and the country variant.

When driving abroad, the services may only be

available with restrictions.

For more information regarding available serv‐

ice, the manufacturer of the vehicle recom‐

mends contacting a Service Partner or the hot‐

line.

Teleservices can comprise the following serv‐

ices:

▷Teleservice Call, see page 107.

▷Automatic Teleservice Call, see page 107.

▷Teleservice Report, see page 108.

▷Teleservice Battery Guard, see page 109.

▷Your Service partner, see page 109.

▷Breakdown assistance, see page 108.

▷Activated ConnectedDrive contract, equip‐

ment with intelligent emergency call or

BMW ConnectedDrive services.

▷Mobile telephony reception must be guar‐

anteed.

▷Standby state or ignition is switched on.

Automatic Teleservice call

Principle

The Teleservice data on the service require‐

ment for the vehicle is transmitted to the Serv‐

ice partner by BMW automatically when a serv‐

ice is due. If possible, the partner will make

contact and a service appointment can be

agreed.

In so doing, the Service partner can prepare

precisely for service appointments. The work‐

shop stay is shortened.

Last Teleservice Call

Checking when the Service partner was noti‐

fied, see page 108.

Manual Teleservice Call

Principle

A Teleservice Call triggered manually by the

customer causes the Teleservice data for the

vehicle's service requirements to be transfer‐

red by BMW to the Service Partner. If possible,

the partner will make contact and a service ap‐

pointment can be agreed.

General

A Teleservice Call can also be started through

a Check Control message, see Owner's Hand‐

book for the vehicle.

lock the vehicle, for example.

General

Other functions are available depending on the

To be able to run the functions, the BMW Con‐

nectedDrive app must be downloaded. This

function is done using the app.

For the functions to be used, they must be ac‐

tivated in the ConnectedDrive customer portal

as a one-time procedure. An active BMW Con‐

nectedDrive contract is required.

Alternatively, a selection of certain functions

can also be run using the BMW Connected‐

Drive call centre.

You can find the Owner's Handbook for the

Drive customer portal or at www.bmw.com.

Apps

Principle

Certain apps of a compatible smartphone can

be integrated into the vehicle. These apps are

displayed on the Control Display.

General

Some apps can only be used when the vehicle

is stationary for safety reasons.

The vehicle manufacturer recommends using

applications that have been classified by BMW

as compatible with your vehicle; otherwise

there is a risk of system malfunctions.

▷The extent of software applications shown

on the Control Display depends on the

functions of the app installed on the smart‐

phone.

▷The data transfer of the apps from the

smartphone to the vehicle may take a

while. Some apps are dependent on the

speed of the available Internet connection

of the smartphone.

▷Some smartphones cannot use apps and

Bluetooth hands-free at the same time.

Restart the app on the smartphone after a

phone call as necessary.

▷Using the apps on the smartphone can re‐

sult in mobile telephone costs. These

costs do not form part of apps.

Information about compatible smartphones is

available at www.bmw.com/bluetooth, informa‐

tion about available apps and installing them is

available at www.bmw.com/connectivity, or

contact a Service Partner of the manufacturer

or another qualified Service Partner or a spe‐

cialist workshop.
