EMERGENCY CALL (1/3)

If the vehicle is equipped, the emer-

gency call system enables the emer-

gency services to be called (without

charge) 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 function

to report an accident which you have

witnessed, this implies stopping where

traffic conditions allow in order for the

emergency services to locate your ve-

hicle and therefore the location of the

reported accident.

tion.
