Teleaid - Mercedes-Benz GLK-Class Service Manual

TELEAID

TELEAID
The GLK is equipped with the TELEAID emergency call
system for emergencies. In the event of an accident, a
GPS signal is sent to an emergency call center to indi-
cate the exact position of the vehicle. The emergency
call center then alerts the nearest rescue service. In
addition, a voice connection is established between
the emergency call center and the vehicle to obtain
additional information from the driver.
An emergency call can also be placed via the SOS
button in the overhead control panel e.g. to request
assistance in dangerous situations.
The crash sensor, which is also responsible for airbag
triggering, triggers the system automatically in an
accident. If an accident is detected or the SOS button
is pressed, TELEAID disconnects any telephone call
currently in progress and automatically dials the tele-
phone number of the emergency call center.
