Operating the emergency assistance
system
Useful information
For Russia only:
The emergency assistance system is there
to rescue you and others in an emergency.
Should the driver arrive at the scene of an
accident, or feel unwell, an emergency call
can be initiated. The emergency call must
not be deployed in the case of a breakdown
or a similar, non-dangerous situation.
The emergency assistance system can help
to radically reduce the time between an
accident and the arrival of the emergency
services. The requirement is a stable mobile
phone connection; network coverage can
depend on the region.
If there is no safety risk, in the event of an
accident the vehicle occupants should
remain in the vehicle after initiating an
emergency call.
The emergency assistance system has a
separate battery. The battery only func-
tions within a temperature range of -20 †
to 85 †. The battery must be replaced every
four years. Always have work on the bat-
tery carried out at a qualified specialist
workshop.
Method of operation
After an emergency call has been initiated,
the emergency call centre will ascertain if
assistance is required on location.
