The door can be unlocked:
– by pressing the central door unlock-

ing switch 1.

– at a standstill, by opening a front

door from inside the vehicle.

AUTOMATIC LOCKING WHEN DRIVING

Driver’s responsibility
If you decide to keep the

doors locked when you are

driving, remember that it

EMERGENCY CALL (1/2)

A call is always made as follows:
– the call is set up with the emergency

services;

– data related to the event is sent out;
– voice communication with the emer-

gency services;

– if necessary, emergency assistance

is called.

Emergency call has two modes:
– automatic mode;
– manual mode;

1 Phone network availability light: on if

network available (green light), off if

network not available;

2 Automatic mode warning light;
3 SOS switch;
4 Microphone;
5 Speaker.

If the vehicle is equipped with it, the

emergency call is a system that allows

the emergency services to be called

automatically or manually in the event

of an accident or illness, in order to

reduce the time they take to arrive on

the scene.
If you use the emergency call func-

tion to report an accident which you

have witnessed, this implies stopping

where traffic conditions allow to allow

the emergency services to locate your

vehicle and therefore the location of the

reported accident.

Use emergency call only in

the event of an emergency

if you are involved in or wit-

ness an accident or if you

feel ill.

In the event of an accident,

it is recommended that you

stay close to the vehicle so

that you can respond to the

call centre if necessary.
