gency call service automatically.

ice automatically.

With the emergency call, help can be organ-
ised as quickly as possible in emergency situa-
tions. A voice connection is established with
a public rescue coordination centre. The tel-
ephone contact person communicates in the
language of the country in which the vehicle is
located. In addition, any legally required data
relevant to emergency calls is automatically
transmitted to the public rescue control centre,
such as the vehicle's current location.
The required connection is made via a fac-
tory-installed control unit. Additional compo-
nents such as an emergency call microphone,
an emergency loudspeaker and an integrated
battery which is independent of the integrated
power supply, are required to ensure operation
even after a serious accident.
