■Automatic Emergency Calls
If any airbag deploys, the system is designed to automatically call
the eCall control center.* The answering operator receives the vehi-
cle’s location, the time of the incident and the vehicle VIN, a nd
attempts to speak with the vehicle occupants to assess the situ a-
tion. If the occupants are unable to communicate, the operator
automatically treats the call as an emergency and contacts the
nearest emergency services provider (112 system, etc.) to descr ibe
the situation and request that assistance be sent to the locati on.
*: In some cases, the call cannot be made. (P. 100)
■Manual Emergency Calls
In the event of an emergency,
press the “SOS” button to call
the eCall control center.* The
answering operator will deter-
mine your vehicle’s location,
assess the situation, and dis-
patch the necessary assis-
tance required.
Make sure to open the cover
before pressing the “SOS” but-
ton.
If you accidentally press the “SOS” button, tell the operator t hat you are
not experiencing an emergency.
*: In some cases, the call cannot be made. ( P. 1 0 0 )
