the call as an emergency, contacts the nearest emergency services
provider to describe the situation, and requests that assistance be sent
to the location.

to assist them in locating and recovering the vehicle. After filing a
police report, call the Safety Conn ect response center at 1-800-25-

nect to initiate this service.

cle, Safety-Connect-equipped vehicl e location data may, under cer-
tain circumstances, be shared with third parties to locate your vehicle.

ranty and Service Guide”, “Owner’s Manual

ranty coverage.
