ited while the vehicle is in motion. Some
services, including SOS, will NOT work
without a subscription and an operable
network connection.
• Ignoring the rearview mirror light could
mean you may not have SOS Call service
if needed. If the rearview mirror light is
illuminated, have an authorized dealer
service the SOS Call system immedi-
ately.
• The Occupant Restraint Controller
(ORC) turns on the Air Bag Warning

Call operator. All occupants should exit
the vehicle immediately and move to a
safe location.
• The SOS Call system is embedded into

prevent your vehicle from sending a sig-
nal to initiate an emergency call. To
