EMERGENCY CALL
3
If the vehicle is equipped, the emer-
gency call function can be used to call
the emergency services (without
charge) automatically or manually in
the event of an accident or illness, re-
ducing the time it takes for the emer-
gency services to arrive.
Note: the emergency call function is
operational:
– in countries covered by the telemat-
ics services and infrastructure associ-
ated and compatible with the system;
– depending on the network coverage
in the geographical region where the
vehicle is being driven.
If you use the emergency call function
to report an accident which you have
witnessed, this implies stopping where
traffic conditions allow to allow the
emergency services to locate your ve-
hicle and therefore the location of the
reported accident.
In all cases, comply with local legisla-
tion.
