geographic position of the vehicle.
If you cross over one of the map boundaries shown in illustration, the com-

occupants are unable to communicate, the agent automatically treats
the call as an emergency, contacts the nearest emergency services
provider to describe the situation, an d requests that assistance be sent
to the location.
