How to Use the SOS Button in BMW Cars

Model: BMW BMW Various
Part: Instrument cluster

Learn how to use the SOS button in BMW cars: the button is located in the central overhead console and is protected by a cover to prevent accidental use. This button should be used in case of an accident or medical emergency and will connect you to an emergency response centre that can manage the situation effectively. In the event of an accident, the vehicle will automatically send a signal to the centre, and an operator will attempt to contact you. If there is no response after a certain number of attempts, the centre will send help to the location where the vehicle is detected. The service operates 24/7 and is valid even abroad.
