WARNING  
The following conditions may limit or prevent the execution of a manual or automatic emergency call:  
Your current emergency call location is in an area with no or insufficient mobile communications and satellite signal reception.  
The mobile communications network of the required telecommunication providers is not available in areas with sufficient mobile  
communications and satellite reception.  
In spite of sufficient mobile communications and satellite signal reception, there is no mobile communications network  
generation of the telecommunication providers that is suitable for the vehicle in some regions. In this case, the emergency call  
reverts to the legally required eCall Emergency System, if present in the vehicle. If the legally required eCall Emergency System is  
not present in the vehicle, calls will be forwarded to the emergency call number 112.  
In spite of sufficient mobile communications and satellite signal reception, there is no 3G mobile network of the  
telecommunication providers in some regions. This can lead to a delay of up to 60 seconds when setting up the connection for the  
Emergency Call Service. In order to permit connection setup without a delay, the Emergency Call Service can be deactivated in the  
Infotainment system if the legally required eCall Emergency System is present in the vehicle. The legally required eCall Emergency  
System is available without any delay after deactivation of the Emergency Call Service.  
The Emergency Call Service is prohibited by law in some countries.  
There is no valid licence for the use of the Emergency Call Service.  
The components in the vehicle required for the manual or automatic emergency call are damaged or do not have sufficient  
electrical power.  
The emergency call service function has been deactivated. In this case, the emergency call reverts to the legally required eCall  
Emergency System, if present in the vehicle. No emergency call will be made if the legally required eCall Emergency System is not  
present in the vehicle. Also forwarding to the emergency number 112 does not take place.  
The Emergency Call Service function was deactivated by disabling data transmission. In this case, the emergency call reverts to the  
legally required eCall Emergency System, if present in the vehicle. It the legally required eCall Emergency System is not available
