IGNITION ON mode, the red indicator light comes on for 2 sec-
onds then turns off. Afterward, the green indicator light comes on, indicat-
ing that the service is active.

ditions:

■Automatic Collision Notification
In case of either airbag deployment or severe rear-end collision, the
system is designed to automatically call the response center. The
responding agent receives the vehicl e’s location and attempts to speak
with the vehicle occupants to assess the level of emergency. If the occu-
pants are unable to communicate, th e agent automatically treats the
call as an emergency, contacts th e nearest emergency services pro-
vider to describe the situation, and re quests that assistance be sent to
the location.

ule, please reset the message.
