EMERGENCY OR ASSIST ANCE CALL
CITROËN Localised Emergency Call
In an emergency, press this button for more than 2 seconds.
  Flashing   of   the   green   LED   and   a   voice

Pressing
 
this
 
button   (at   any   time)   for   more   than   8   seconds   cancels   the   call.
CITROËN Localised Assistance Call
When the ignition is switched on, the green LED  comes   on   for   3   seconds   indicating that

  the   system   is   operating   correctly.
If
  the   orange   LED   flashes:   there   is   a  
system

  fault.
If
  the   orange   LED   is   on   continuously:   the  
backup

  battery   must   be   replaced.
In
  either   case,   contact   a   CITROËN   dealer.
Pressing
 
this
 
button
 
again
 
immediately   cancels   the   request.
The
 
cancellation
 
is
 
confirmed
 
by
  a   voice   message.
Press
 
this
 
button   for   more   than   2   seconds   to   request  
assistance

 
if
 
the
  vehicle   breaks   down.
A
 

voice
 
message   confirms   that   the   call   has   been   made*.
Operation of the system
The green LED remains on (without flashing) when communication is established.
  It   goes   off   at   the   end   of   communication.
This
  call   is   dealt   with   by   the  
C
ITR o Ë n   Localised   Emergency   Call   centre  
which

  receives   locating   information   from   the   vehicle   and   can   send   a  
detailed

  alert   to   the   appropriate   emergency   services.   In   countries   in  
which

  the   team   is   not   operational,   or   when   the   locating   service   has  
been

  expressly   declined,   the   call   is   dealt   with   directly   by   the   emergency  
services

  (112)   without   the   vehicle   location.
If
  an   impact   is   detected   by   the   airbag   control   unit,   and  
independently

  of   the   deployment   of   any   airbags,   an   emergency   call  
is

  made   automatically.
