receives the vehicle’s location
and attempts to speak with the
vehicle occupants to assess the
level of emergency. If the occu- pants are unable to communi-
cate, the agent automatically
treats the call as an emergency,
contacts the nearest emer-
gency services provider to
describe the situation, and
requests that assistance be sent
to the location.

If your vehicle is stolen, Safety
Connect can work with local
authorities to assist them in
locating and recovering the

enforcement with recovery of a
stolen vehicle, Safety-Connect-
equipped vehicle location data
may, under certain circum-
stances, be shared with third
parties to locate your vehicle.
