The UAE eCall device automatically makes an emergency call to the Public Safety Answer-
ing Point (PSAP) for proper rescuing operations in event of vehicle accident.

In this case, the emergency call cannot be hung up by pressing the SOS button and the
eCall system remains connected until the emergency service officer, receiving the call, dis-
connects the emergency call.
