(If Equipped) WARNINGS
Unless the 911 Assist setting is set on
before a crash, the system will not dial
for help, which could delay response
time, potentially increasing the risk of serious
injury or death after a crash. Do not wait for 911 Assist to make an
emergency call if you can do it yourself.
Dial emergency services immediately
to avoid delayed response time, which could
increase the risk of serious injury or death
after a crash. If you do not hear 911 Assist
within five seconds of the crash, the system
or phone may be damaged or non-functional. Always place your phone in a secure
location in your vehicle so it does not
become a projectile or damaged in a
crash. Failure to do so may cause serious
injury to someone or damage the phone,
which could prevent 911 Assist from working
properly. Note:
The SYNC 911 Assist feature must be
set on prior to the incident.
