a Dealership to have the function
repaired.
NOTE The correct operation of the EU
eCall function will be guaranteed only
by a good network coverage.
Privacy: the location (GPS) of the car
can never be deactivated because
it is indispensable for the eCall
service. Furthermore, deactivating
the positioning of the car, performed
by activating "Privacy Mode" ("Geo-
location OFF") in the "Settings" menu
items of the Uconnect™ system will
make other services - other than the
one described here - unavailable
(for more details see "Settings" in
the"vehicle mode" paragraph in the
"Multimedia" section).
WARNING The icon at the top of
the Uconnect™ display indicates
that the geo-location function is
active (ON). When geolocation is on,
the car position is tracked to enable
the functions that require it. When
geolocation is off, the car position
is only tracked by the navigation,
safety, insurance and driver assistance
systems (where provided). To
deactivate this function, see "Settings"
in the "Vehicle mode" paragraph in the
"Multimedia" section).
AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY
CALL
The automatic emergency call system
is only available if the car is in READY
ON status ("READY" symbol on
instrument panel).
The system makes an automatic
emergency call if certain conditions are
met, e.g. an airbag is deployed.
The flashing green light located on the
SOS button (A) fig. 186 on the front
ceiling light will indicate that the system
is trying to make the emergency call.
The fixed green light will indicate that
the call has been established.
Interrupting the call
The automatic emergency call cannot
be interrupted by the user but will only
be interrupted by the operator of the
Emergency Operations Centre.
MANUAL EMERGENCY
CALL
To make the emergency call manually
make sure that the instrument panel is
on ("READY" symbol on the instrument
panel).
Press the SOS call button on the front
ceiling light for about 2 seconds (A)
fig. 186.
The green light located at the SOS
button will flash and then become fixed
once the connection has been made
with an operator of the Operations
Centre responsible for emergency calls
(number 112).
The green light will go out when the call
is interrupted.
Interrupting a call
If the SOS call button is pressed by
mistake, it is possible to press it again
within 10 seconds to cancel the
operation. After 10 seconds, only the
operator of the Operations Centre can
interrupt the call.
If you are able to speak to the operator,
do so through the car audio to provide
additional information about the
request for help.
If the system is unable to establish
the voice call, or the line disconnects
due to insufficient coverage, EU eCall
service will try to call the Operations
Centre again for 5 minutes.
If the Operations Centre needs to
contact the car again, the system can
receive, for up to 120 minutes from the
ending of the call with the operator, an
incoming call, which will be accepted
automatically. Until the end of 120
minutes, the system will be completely
dedicated to the management of the
emergency in progress, therefore it will
not be able to provide any connectivity
service.
