BMW RESCUE INFORMATION FOR OCCUPANTS.
Especially after a serious car accident, time is of the essence when the rescue services need to get injured persons out of the vehicle. That is why they need to be given full information as quickly as possible about the car in question. Where are its batteries? Where are the airbags? At what points can a vehicle can be cut open quickly and safely? That is why we came up with the idea of BMW Rescue Information for the emergency services, BMW Rescue Charts, and a special sticker for the windscreen.
BMW Rescue Charts
The BMW Rescue Charts supply the emergency services with important information that helps them gain swift, safe access to the occupants.
You can print out the BMW Rescue Charts as a PDF and keep it behind the driver’s sun visor. The rescue charts are in colour, to make them easier to follow. We therefore recommend printing out the rescue chart for your vehicle using a colour printer.
Legal disclaimer: the content of the rescue data sheets is intended exclusively for trained members of the rescue services, for the technical rescue of persons.Sticker for the windscreen
Your BMW Partner can also supply the “Rescue chart inside vehicle” sticker. So that rescuers know at a glance that there is a rescue chart in the car, the sticker needs to be affixed at the bottom of the windscreen, on the driver’s side. Your BMW Partner will be glad to advise you.

Renewing the mobility guarantee
After the 24-month guarantee period has expired, you can then decide if you wish to renew the BMW Mobile Care mobility guarantee for your BMW. When you have your scheduled engine oil service carried out by an authorised BMW workshop, the BMW Mobile Care mobility guarantee is renewed automatically for a further 24 months up until a maximum of the end of the tenth year after initial registration. The date when the next engine oil service is due is determined by your on-board computer, according to your individual driving style. The entry in your vehicle’s Service Booklet or the service invoice serves as evidence.
Even if you have not had one of your engine oil services carried out by an authorised BMW workshop, there is nothing to prevent you from renewing your mobility guarantee. If you then arrange for the next engine oil service to be carried out by an authorised BMW workshop, the BMW Mobile Care mobility guarantee will be automatically renewed for a further 24 months, but with the maximum being up until ten years after the initial registration. Please note: the BMW Mobile Care mobility guarantee expires in all cases at the end of the tenth year after the date on which your vehicle was first registered.Mobility guarantee exclusions
The service entitlements under a BMW Mobile Care mobility guarantee are not forfeited if other service and repair work – including any additional oil services required – are carried out by non-authorised workshops. However, services under the BMW Mobile Care mobility guarantee are excluded if the vehicle’s loss of mobility is a result of failure to observe the inspection and service intervals specified by the manufacturer or if inspections, service work and other repairs by a non-authorised workshop do not comply with the manufacturer’s requirements.
