Statutory emergency call system
Principle
The eCall emergency call system required by law
enables manual or automatic emergency calls to
be issued in the event of accidents, for example.
The emergency calls are answered by the public
rescue coordination centre.
General
For information on the statutory on-board emer‐
gency call system based on the 112 emergency
call, as well as its operation and its functions, see
page
385 ,
The eCall service based on the 112 emergency
call is a public service of general interest and is
provided free of charge.
If a serious accident occurs, the eCall statutory
emergency call system is activated automatically
by on-board sensors as a standard feature. It is
also triggered automatically if the vehicle is
equipped with an intelligent emergency call sys‐
tem that fails to work in the event of a serious ac‐
cident.
The eCall statutory emergency call system can
also be triggered manually if required.
If a critical system failure occurs that would put
the eCall statutory emergency call system out of
operation, the vehicle occupants receive a warn‐
ing, see page
386 .
Information on data processing
The eCall statutory emergency call system pro‐
cesses personal data in accordance with the
following regulations:
▷ Protection of personal data: regulation
2016/679/EU of the European Parliament
and of the Council.
▷ Protection of personal data: directive
2002/58/EC of the European Parliament and
of the Council.
Personal data is only processed for the purpose
of transmitting eCall emergency calls to the
standardised European emergency call number
112.
SIM card
The eCall statutory emergency call system oper‐
ates via mobile communications through the SIM
card installed in the vehicle. The SIM card is not
permanently connected to the mobile telephone
network; rather, it remains connected only as
long as the emergency call is active.
Data types and their recipients
The eCall statutory emergency call system may
only collect and process the following data:
▷ The vehicle identification number for rapidly
identifying the vehicle, for example the model.
▷ Vehicle type, for example passenger car.
▷ Type of vehicle drive, for example petrol or
diesel, for assessing the risks involved in a
rescue, for example the risk of fire caused by
fuel.
▷ The vehicle's position at the time of the acci‐
dent, its last three locations and the driving
direction in order to locate the vehicle more
quickly on very complex route sections,
for example.
