cator light comes on for 2 seconds then turns off. Afterward, the green
indicator light comes on, indicating that the service is active.

ditions:

with the vehicle occupants to assess the level of emergency. If the occu-
pants are unable to communicate, the agent automatically treats the
call as an emergency, contacts the nearest emergency services pro-
vider to describe the situation, and requests that assistance be sent to
the location.
