vided the road and traffic conditions at the accident site allow it, remain in the vehicleuntil the voice connection with the operator at the emergency call centre has been
established.
On the basis of the call, the operator can
decide whether it is necessary to deploy
rescue teams and/or the police to the acci-
dent site.
i Depending on the severity of the acci-
dent, it can take between one and three
minutes until the operator can speak with
you.
Requirement: the ignition is switched on.
If restraint systems have been triggered dur-
ing an accident, the Mercedes-Benz emer-
gency call system can automatically dial the
Europe-wide private Mercedes-Benz emer-
gency call number. Restraint systems
include, for example, airbags or belt tension-
ers. The emergency call system can establish
a voice connection between the vehicle occu- pants and the Mercedes-Benz emergency call
centre.
The accident data is sent to the Mercedes-
Benz emergency call centre by SMS and
DTMF while the voice connection is operat-
ing. The accident data contains metre-precise GPS positioning data for the moment it is
sent, as well as the type of vehicle involved inthe accident.
