With a Mercedes-Benz emergency call, the
accident data is only transferred to the public
coordination centre with the approval of the
customer.
In the event of an automatically triggered
emergency call in which there is no voice con-
tact, the accident data is transmitted immedi-
ately to the public emergency call centre.
R
Should the Mercedes-Benz emergency call
centre not be available, the 112 emergency
call is carried out automatically.
Ov Over ervie view of emerg w of emergency call syst ency call systems ems
Both the Mercedes-Benz emergency call system
as well as the 112 emergency call system (EU
eCall) can help to reduce the time between an
accident and the arrival of emergency services at
the site of the accident. They help locate an acci-
dent site in places that are di cult to access.
Both emergency call systems can initiate an emer-
gency call automatically (
/
page 316) or man-
ually (
/
page 317).
Only make emergency calls if you or others are in
need of rescue. Do not make an emergency call in
the event of a breakdown or a similar situation.
