■Automatic Emergency Calls 
If any airbag deploys, the system is  
designed to automatically call the  
eCall control center.* The answer- 
ing operator receives the vehicle’s  
location, the time of the incident  
and the vehicle VIN, and attempts  
to speak with the vehicle occupants  
to assess the situation. If the occu- 
pants are unable to communicate,  
the operator automatically treats  
the call as an emergency and con- 
tacts the nearest emergency ser- 
vices provider (112 system etc.) to  
describe the situation and request  
that assistance be sent to the loca- 
tion.
*: In some cases, the call cannot be  
made. ( P. 6 6 )
■Manual Emergency Calls 
In the event of an emergency, press  
the “SOS” button to call the eCall  
control center.* The answering  
operator will determine your vehi-

Automatic emergency calls  
(Automatic Collision Notifica-
