Mercedes-Benz recommends the activation of the
Mercedes-Benz eme rgency call system forth efo l-
lowing reasons:
R In emer gency situations when abroad, you can
also get support in a langua geyou speak.
R Several transmission tech nologies are used to
accelerate the transfer of the accident data
and impr overeliability of the transmission.
R The Mercedes-Benz emer gency call system is
permanently logged in tothe mobile phone
networ k,which ensu resfa ster placement of
th e emer gency call and faster transfer of the
accident data.
Measu resfo rre scue, reco very or towing away
can then be initiated in quickl y.
R With a Mercedes-Benz emer gency call, the
accident data is only transfer redto the public
coordination centre with the appr oval of the
cus tomer. In
theeve nt of an automatically triggered
eme rgency call in which there is no voice con-
ta ct, the accident data is transmitted immedi-
ately tothe public emer gency call centre.
R Should the Mercedes-Benz emer gency call
centre not be available, the 112 emer gency

th th e Mercedes-Benz emer gency call system
as well as the 112 emer gency call system (EU

dent site in places that are di1cult toaccess.
Bo th emer gency call systems can initia tean emer-
ge ncy call automatically (/ page 332) or man-
