R
Several transmission tech nologies are used
to accelerate the transfer of the accident
data and impr overeliability of the transmis‐
sion.
R The Mercedes-Benz emer gency call sy stem is
permanently logged in tothe mobile phone
networ k,which ensures faster placement of
th e emer gency call and faster transfer of the
accident data.
Measures forre scue, reco very or towing
aw ay can then be initiated in quickl y.
R With a Mercedes-Benz emer gency call, the
accident data is on ly transferred tothe pub‐
lic coordination cent rewith the appr oval of
th e cus tomer.
In theeve nt of an au tomatically triggered
emergency call in which there is no voice
con tact, the accident data is transmit ted
immediately tothe public emer gency call
centre.
R Should the Mercedes-Benz emer gency call
centre not be available, the11 2 emer gency
call is car ried out automaticall y.Overview of emer
gency call sy stems
Bo th th e Mercedes-Benz emer gency call sy stem
as well as the11 2 emer gency call sy stem (EU
eCall) can help toreduce the time between an
accident and the ar riva l of emer gency services
at the site of the accident. They help locate an
accident site in places that are dif ficult to
access.
Bo th emer gency call sy stems can initiate an
emer gency call au tomatically (→ page 451) or
manually .
Only make emergency calls if you or others are
in need of rescue. Do not make an emergency
call in theeve nt of a breakdown or a similar sit‐
uation.
