WARNING
• During an Emergency Call, the sys- tem makes repeated attempts to
connect to the eCall control center. However, if it cannot connect to the eCall control center due to poor
radio wave reception, the system may not be able to connect to the cellular network and the call may
finish without connecting. The red indicator light will blink for approxi-mately 30 seconds to indicate this
disconnection.

there is a disconnection, the system may not be able to connect to the eCall control center.
