SOS-Call
Using the SOS alarm button, you can
contact a Public Safety Answering
Point (PSAP), for help in emergency
situations such as illness, injury, or a
threat, etc.
N
NOTE: This service may not be
available for all vehicles or in
certain markets.
Making an SOS-Call
To activate the SOS alarm function for
emergency assistance, press and hold
the SOS button for approximately 2
seconds, you will then be directed to
the PSAP.
A ‘Calling’ notification is shown in the
centre display. If the call is not yet
SOS-CALL
connected it is possible to press the
SOS button again within 8 seconds to
cancel the call. Once in contact with
PSAP, only the PSAP operator can end
the call.
If the operator does not get a response
from the vehicle occupants, then the
appropriate assistance (such as
ambulance or police) will be sent to the
vehicle’s location.
The SOS function has an integrated
battery which will allow the system to
function in the event of a main vehicle
battery failure.
N
NOTE: The SOS button should only
be used in an emergency situation
such as an accident, illness or
in the event of a threat to the
occupants of the vehicle. Misuse
of the SOS button could result in
extra charges.
Coverage
SOS-Call is available when the ignition
is turned ON. The operation of SOS
Emergency 911 Assistance relies on
cellular coverage and may be affected
by signal outages or low signal
strength. In these circumstances it may
not be possible to establish an SOS-
Call with the Public Safety Answering
Point.
In the above circumstances Lotus Cars
is not liable for any consequences or
losses that occur.
Self-Test and Fault Warnings
The SOS-Call system will perform a
self-test when the vehicle is in ignition
mode II, (see page 186).
During a Self-Test the SOS alarm
button’s LED status indicator will flash
quickly until completion. The LED
status indicator will be constantly
illuminated if no system faults are
present. Faults detected during the
self-test or whilst the SOS-Call is in
standby mode will be shown in the
driver’s display.
