Principle
The system can be used to trigger an emer‐
gency call automatically or manually in emer‐
gency situations.
General
Press the SOS button in an emergency only.
The emergency call establishes a connection to
a public emergency call number.
This depends on factors such as the specific
mobile phone network and national regulations.
The emergency call is placed using the
integrated SIM card in the vehicle and cannot be
switched off.
For technical reasons, it might not be possible to
make an emergency call in highly adverse condi‐
tions.
