roadside assistance, and
informationThe Tele Aid system is operational provid-
ing that the vehicle’s battery is charged,

information, remote door unlock and
more.
!The initial activation of the Tele Aid sys-
tem may only be performed by com-
pleting the subscriber agreement and

Information button¡. Failure to
complete either of these steps will re-
sult in a system that is not activated.
If you have any questions regarding ac-
tivation, please call the Response Cen-

iThe SOS button is located above the in-
terior rear view mirror.
The Roadside Assistance button•
and the Information button¡ are
located below the center armrest cov-
er.
iThe Tele Aid system utilizes the cellular

lites for vehicle location. If either of
these signals are unavailable, the
Tele Aid system may not function and if
this occurs, assistance must be sum-
moned by other means.

hicle (determined by the GPS satellite loca-
tion system), vehicle model, identification
number and color are generated.

occurs, assistance must be summoned
by other means.
