■Automatic Emergency Calls

to assess the situation. If the occu-
pants are unable to communicate,
the operator automatically treats
the call as an emergency and con-

●It may not be possible to make Emergency Calls in any of the fol-lowing situations. In such cases,
report to emergency services pro- vider (112 system etc.) by other means such as nearby public
phones.
• Even when the vehicle is in the cel-
lular phone service area, it may be difficult to connect to the eCall con-trol center if the reception is poor or
the line is busy. In such cases, even though the system attempts to con-nect to the eCall control center, you
may not be able to connect to the eCall control center to make Emer-gency Calls and contact emergency
services.
• When the vehicle is out of the cellu-
lar phone service area, the Emer- gency Calls cannot be made.
• When any related equipment (such as the “SOS” button panel, indicator lights, microphone, speaker, DCM,
antenna, or any wires connecting the equipment) is malfunctioning, damaged or broken, the Emer-
gency Call cannot be made.
