Emergency calls
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
emergency provided they can speak to an
occupant of the vehicle.
Warning!
G
An emergency call is initiated
automatically following an accident in
which the emergency tensioning devices
(ETDs) or air bags deploy.
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 cellular phone network is not available).
The messageCall Failed appears in the
multifunction display for approximately
10 seconds.
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. See (୴ page 253) for instruc-
tions on initiating an emergency call man-
ually.
The Tele Aid system is available if
ț
it has been activated and is operational
Activation requires a subscription for
monitoring services, connection and
cellular air time.
Should this occur, assistance must be sum-
moned by other means.
Once the emergency call is in progress, the
indicator lamp in the SOS button will begin
to flash. The message Connecting Call
appears in the multifunction display and
the audio system is muted. When the con-
nection is established, the message
ț
the relevant cellular phone network
and GPS signals are available and pass
the information on to the Response
Center
Call Connected appears in the multifunc-
tion display. All information relevant to the
emergency, such as the location of the ve-
hicle (determined by the GPS satellite loca-
tion system), vehicle model, identification
number and color are generated.
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.
