EMERGENCY CALL
3
296 - Driving
If the vehicle is equipped, the
emergency call function can be used
to call the emergency services (without
charge) automatically or manually in
the event of an accident or illness,
reducing the time it takes for the
emergency services to arrive.
Note: the emergency call function is
operational:
– in countries covered by the
associated telephone emergency
services and infrastructure 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 in order for the
emergency services to locate your
vehicle and therefore the location of
the reported accident.
In all cases, comply with local
legislation.
Use the emergency call
only in the event of an
emergency you are
involved in, if you witness an
accident or if you feel ill.

with the emergency services;
– if necessary, emergency assistance
is called.
There are two emergency call modes:
