In the Event of a Crash
Not all crashes deploy an airbag or activatethe fuel pump shut-off (the triggers for 911Assist). If a connected cell phone sustainsdamage or loses its connection to SYNCduring a crash, SYNC searches for and triesto connect to a previously paired cellphone; SYNC then attempts to call theemergency services.

•SYNC provides a short window of time(about 10 seconds) to cancel the call.If you fail to cancel the call, SYNCattempts to dial 911.
•SYNC says the following, or a similarmessage: "SYNC will attempt to call911, to cancel the call, press Cancel onyour screen or press and hold thephone button on your steering wheel".
If you do not cancel the call, and SYNCmakes a successful call, a pre-recordedmessage plays for the 911 operator, andthen the occupant(s) in your vehicle areable to talk with the operator.
