■Automatic Collision Notification
If any airbag deploys, the system is designed to automatically call the Public
Safety Answering Point (PSAP).* The responding agent receives the vehicle's
location and attempts to speak with the vehicle occupants to assess the level
of emergency. If the o ccupants are unable to communicate, the agent auto-
matically treats the call as an emergency, contacts the nearest emergency
services provider to describe the situ ation, and requests that assistance be
sent to the location.
*: In some cases, the call cannot be made.( P. 498)
