Emergency calls
An emergency call is initiated
automatically following an accident in
which the emergency tensioning devices
(ETDs) or air bags deploy.
An emergency call can also be initiated
manually by opening the cover next to the
interior rear view mirror labeled SOS, then
briefly pressing the button located under
the cover. For instructions on initiating an
emergency call manually (
컄
page 545).
Once the emergency call is in progress, the
indicator lamp in the SOS button will begin
to flash. The message:
앫
“ Connecting Call ” appears in the multi-
function display
앫
“ Emergency Call Activated ” appears in
the COMAND display
and the audio system is muted. When the
connection is established, the message:
앫
“ Call Connected ” appears in the multi-
function display
앫
“ Emergency Call Activated ” appears in
the COMAND display
All information relevant to the emergency,
such as the location of the vehicle (deter-
mined by the GPS satellite location sys-
tem), vehicle model, identification number
and color are generated.
A voice connection between the Response
Center and the occupants of the vehicle
will be established automatically soon af-
ter the emergency call has been initiated.
The Response Center will attempt to deter-
mine more precisely the nature of the acci-
dent provided they can speak to an
occupant of the vehicle.
The Tele Aid system is available if
앫
it has been activated and is operation-
al. Activation requires a subscription
for monitoring services, connection,
and cellular air time
앫
the relevant monitoring service and
GPS coverage are available and pass
the information on to the Response
Center
앫 there is sufficient voltage in the vehicle
batteries
i
During the emergency call message “Emer-
gency Call Activated” is displayed, operation
from COMAND is not possible. The automatic cli-
mate control can be still adjusted using the
switches on the climate control panel.
i
If no vehicle occupant responds, an ambu-
lance will be sent to the vehicle immediately.
i
Location of the vehicle on a map is only pos-
sible if the vehicle is able to receive signals from
the GPS satellite network and pass the informa-
tion on to the Response Center.
Warning!
G
If the indicator lamp in the SOS button is
flashing continuously and there was no
voice connection to the Response Center
established, then the Tele Aid system could
not initiate an emergency call (e.g. the rele-
vant mobile phone network is not available).
