Depending on the equipment and country,
the vehicle may be equipped with an emer-
gency call system. In some countries, the
free legally required eCall Emergency Sys-
tem is activated as standard. The control is
located in the roof console.
The emergency call function allows help to
be organised very quickly in danger situa-
tions. A voice connection is established to
a public emergency call centre. The call
centre communicates in the language of
the country in which the vehicle is located.
In addition, data relevant to the emergency
call and required by law is transmitted au-
tomatically to the public emergency call
centre, such as the current vehicle position.
The legal basis for data processing by the
legally required eCall Emergency System
corresponds to the
country-specific legisla-
tion such as the EU Regulation 2015/758.
Please also observe the information on da-
ta storage units and data services.
The required connection is established by
a
factory-fitted control unit. Additional
components are required in order to ensure
that the function is still possible even after
a serious accident – emergency call micro-
phone, emergency call loudspeaker and an
integrated battery that is independent of
the vehicle electrical system.
