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
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 realtime 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.
Yellow symbol:
It is shown in the bar of the map view, see

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.
Requirements
▷ 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
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.
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.
▷ Your Service partner, see page 109.
General
▷ Breakdown assistance, see page 108.
A Teleservice Call can also be started through
a Check Control message, see Owner's Hand‐

is transferred.
In the case of a breakdown, data on the vehicle
