Some vehicle data, e.g. its current location, is transferred in parallel to the voice call.

Emergency Call Service
Using the Emergency Call Service, assistance can be organized as quickly as possible in dangerous situations.
The Emergency Call Service is only available if a corresponding license is acquired.
If the Emergency Call Service is triggered, a call to the VW Car-Net call center will be made.
If an emergency call is triggered manually or by a collision with airbag deployment or safety belt pretensioner deployment, data that is relevant to the
emergency call, such as the vehicle's current location, is automatically transmitted ⇒ Customer information.
The contact partner will communicate in the language that is set in the vehicle's Infotainment system. If this language is not available at the current emergency
call location, English will be used.
WARNING
The following conditions may restrict or prevent a manual or automatic emergency call:
The emergency call location is in an area with no cell phone and satellite reception, or insufficient reception.
You are in a location where there is sufficient mobile phone and satellite reception, but the telecommunications provider's mobile communications
network is unavailable.
The Emergency Call Service is not permitted by law in some countries.
VW Car-Net has not been activated.
No valid license for the use of the Emergency Call Service has been acquired or the license has expired.
The vehicle components required for manual or automatic emergency calls are damaged or do not have sufficient power.

Triggering an emergency call manually
1. If fitted, press on the button cover briefly and fold the cover downward.
2. Press the emergency call button fig. 48 until the green indicator light starts to flash.
The emergency call is triggered and a voice call to the VW Car-Net call center is established.
If you pressed the emergency call button by mistake, cancel the emergency call immediately:

Automatic emergency call
The automatic emergency call is only triggered when the ignition is on.

cannot be stopped by pressing the emergency call button fig. 48.
If questions from the VW Car-Net® call center are not answered, rescue operations will automatically start.
Integrated battery
The integrated battery ensures that the Emergency Call Service will still be available for some time if the 12 V vehicle battery is disconnected or faulty.
If the integrated battery is drained or faulty, a message indicating this will be displayed in the instrument cluster. If this message is shown, immediately consult an
authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility and have the integrated battery replaced. Volkswagen recommends contacting an
authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.
Have the integrated battery checked, and if necessary, replaced by an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility after
approximately three years. Volkswagen recommends contacting an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.
Data transmission
The available data will be sent to the VW Car-Net call center during an emergency call to determine what rescue measures are needed.
The data regarding the location of the vehicle is continuously overwritten, so that only the ten most recent saved locations as required for the Emergency Call
Service to function are available. The vehicle cannot be tracked on a continuous basis.
The emergency call data is only processed to ensure the proper function of the Emergency Call Service.
The following data will be sent:
The current vehicle position at the time the emergency call was triggered
Nine other vehicle positions shortly before the emergency call was triggered (from the route driven, a few km (around 2 miles)).
