In an Emergency
SOS Emergency Call system is working,
and the ignition device is in
RUN or
ACC position.
The manual Emergency Call is possible
also when the ignition device is in
OFF
position until its backlight stays on. It
is a convenient way to get in contact
with an operator in the event of an
emergency.
When the connection between the
vehicle and a public safety operator is
made, your vehicle will automatically
transmit location and vehicle
information to the emergency service
operator.
The SOS Emergency Call is
automatically forwarded in the
event of an accident with air bag
intervention providing that the
ignition device is in
RUN position and
air bags are working (malfunction
warning light
off).
Only a public safety operator can
remotely end the SOS Emergency Call
and, if necessary, call back the vehicle's
eCall system.
After the call, you can still call the
emergency service operator to indicate
additional information by pressing the
button again.
How It Works
Press and hold for a few seconds the
SOS Emergency Call button on the
dome console; the green LED on the
button will blink and then become a
fixed light indicating a call has been
placed.
NOTE:
In case the SOS Emergency Call button
is accidentally pushed, there is a 10
second delay before the call is placed.
The system will verbally alert you that
a call is about to be made.
To cancel the call connection, push
the SOS Emergency Call button
on the dome console. Once a
connection between the vehicle and
an emergency service operator is
made, the SOS Emergency Call system
will transmit the following important
vehicle information to the operator:
• indication that the occupant placed
an SOS Emergency Call;
• the Vehicle Identification Number
(VIN);
• the last known GPS coordinates of
the vehicle.
You should be able to speak with
the emergency service operator to
determine if additional help is needed.
The SOS Emergency Call has priority
over other audio sources, which will be
muted. If you have a phone connected
via Bluetooth
® , it is disconnected and
reconnected at the end of the SOS
Emergency Call.
Voice prompts will guide you during
the SOS Emergency Call.
If a connection is made between an
emergency service operator and your
vehicle, you understand and agree
that operators may, like any other
emergency call, record conversations
and sounds in and near your vehicle
upon connection.
System Limitations
When the driver switches the ignition
device to the
RUN position, the system
runs a check routine. During this stage,
the red indicator will illuminate for
about 3 seconds: this signal must not
be confused with a fault warning,
remember that in such an event the
red indicator would remain on.
If the SOS Emergency Call system
detects a malfunction, any of the
following may occur at the time the
malfunction is detected:
• The LED on the dome console button
will continuously be illuminated red.
• The system is powered by its own
rechargeable battery to ensure
operation even when the vehicle
battery is flat or disconnected. When
