eCall Overview
This vehicle is equipped with a 112 based
eCall system that is free of charge.
In the event of a crash, an eCall-equipped
vehicle may automatically call the nearest
112 emergency centre. If built-in sensors
detect a crash, an emergency call is placed
automatically. An advisor will determine
whether help is needed. The exact location
of the crash site is sent to the emergency
centre even if the occupants of the vehicle
are unable to communicate with emergency
personnel.
The eCall system can also be activated
manually. Press
on the overhead
console to contact the nearest 112
emergency centre. Press
within
two seconds to cancel the manually
activated eCall.
A problem with the system may be
indicated by the following:
Red light near the phone button displays
Light near the phone button does not
display with vehicle on
Driver Information Centre message may
appear
Contact your retailer for service.
When the system is active, the green light
near the phone button is illuminated.
Usage of personal data is strictly limited to
the purpose of forwarding the emergency
call to the emergency number 112.
The eCall system may collect and process
the following data:
Vehicle Identification Number
Vehicle type, such as passenger vehicle or
light commercial vehicle
Vehicle propulsion storage type, such as
petrol, diesel, CNG, LPG, electric,
or hydrogen
Last three vehicle locations and direction
of travel

system and its time stamp
Data collected by the eCall system is shared
only with the 112 emergency centre when a
connection is made.
