► In an emergency, press button 1 for more
than 2 seconds.
The lit indicator lamp and a voice message
confirm that the call has been made to the
emergency services*.

your vehicle and puts you in contact with the
appropriate emergency services**.
► Pressing again immediately cancels the
request.
The indicator lamp flashes while the vehicle
data is being sent, and then remains lit when
communication is established.
– The indicator lamp flashes red: replace the
back-up battery.
– The indicator lamp is fixed red: system
malfunction. The emergency and assistance call
services may not work.
– If the indicator lamp does not come on when
the ignition is switched on, this also means that
there is a system malfunction.
If the problem persists, contact a qualified
workshop as soon as possible.
The eCall (SOS) function is only able to
collect and process the following data
5

number, vehicle type (passenger vehicle or
light commercial vehicle), fuel type or power
source, three most recent locations and
direction of travel, number of passengers
and a timestamped log file of the automatic
activation of the system and its timestamp.
The recipients of the processed data are the
emergency call handling centres designated
by the relevant national authorities in the
territory in which they are located, enabling
priority routing and handling of calls to the
“112” emergency number.
A system fault does not prevent the
vehicle from being driven.
