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.
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.
The Tele Aid system is operational providing that the
vehicle's battery is charged and properly connected, not
damaged and cellular and GPS coverage is available. To
activate, press the "SOS" button, the Roadside
Assistance button • or the Information button ¡,
depending on the type of response required.
