Tele Aid

Tele Aid (optional for Canada)
Important!
The initial activation of the Tele Aid system may only be
performed by completing the subscriber agreement and
placing an acquaintance call using the "SOS" button.
Failure to complete either of these steps will result in a
system that is not activated. If the system is not
activated the indicator lamp in the "SOS" button stays
on after turning electronic key in starter switch to
position 2 and the message "TELE AID – NOT
ACTIVATED" will be shown in the MCS display for
approx. 10 seconds.
If you have any questions regarding activation, please
call the Response Center at 1-800-756-9018 (in the USA)
or 1-888-923-8367 (in Canada).
(Telematic Alarm Identification on Demand)
The Tele Aid system consists of three types of response;
automatic and manual emergency, roadside assistance
and information.

"Tele Aid" (USA only), you will have access to account
information, remote door unlock, Info Services
and more.
