Emergency calls
An emergency call is initiated automati-
cally following an accident in which the
emergency tensioning devices (ETDs) or
airbags deploy.
An emergency call can also be initiated
manually by opening the cover in the
overhead control panel labeled SOS,
then briefly pressing the button located
under the cover. An additional SOS but-
ton is located in the middle armrest of
the rear seat or, in Maybach 62 vehicles
with rear center seat* and partition* or
with rear center seat* and two-way in-
tercom*, in the storage compartment/
drawer in rear center console.
For instructions on initiating an emer-
gency call manually (
컄 page 284).
Once the emergency call is in progress,
the indicator lamp in the SOS button will
begin to flash. The message
CONNECTING
CALL
appears in the multifunction dis-
play.
When the connection is established, the
message
CALL CONNECTED
appears in the
multifunction display.
All information relevant to the emergen-
cy, such as the location of the vehicle (de-
termined by the GPS satellite location
system), vehicle model, identification
number and color are generated.
A voice connection between the Re-
sponse Center and the occupants of the
vehicle will be established automatically
soon after the emergency call has been
initiated. The Response Center will at-
tempt to determine more precisely the
nature of the emergency provided they
can speak to an occupant of the vehicle.
The Tele Aid system is available if:
앫 it has been activated and is opera-
tional. Activation requires a subscrip-
tion for monitoring services,
connection and cellular air time.
앫 the relevant cellular phone network
and GPS signals are available and pass
the information on to the Response
Center.
i Location of the vehicle on a map is only
possible if the vehicle is able to receive signals
from the GPS satellite network and pass the
information on to the Response Center.
Warning! G
If the indicator lamp in the SOS button is il-
luminated continuously and there was no
voice connection to the Response Center
established, then the Tele Aid system could
not initiate an emergency call (e.g. the rel-
evant cellular phone network is not avail-
able). The message
CALL FAILED
appears in
the multifunction display for approximate-
ly 10 seconds.
Should this occur, assistance must be sum-
moned by other means.
