WARNING
■
The availability of a mobile network is indispensable for the system func-
tion - no emergency call is possible if a mobile network is not available.
■
In the case of a system fault there is a risk that the system will not acti-
vate in the event of an accident. This must be checked immediately by a
specialized garage.
Note
■
Along with the connection to the emergency call number, the system sends
the predefined vehicle and occupant data time at the time of the accident (e.g.
the vehicle identification number, the vehicle location, the number of unbelted
occupants, the number of deployed airbags and other similar information) to
the emergency call centre.
■
If the vehicle is located in an area without an operational emergency call sys-
tem infrastructure, then the vehicle data is not transmitted to the emergency
call centre.
