cle system, its operation and functional-
ities: refer to this section. The 999-based

event of a severe accident.
The 999-based eCall in-vehicle system
can also be triggered manually, if
needed. Instructions for manual activa-
tion of the system: refer to this section.
In the event of a critical system failure
