Emergency assistance
Note
Strictly for emergencies
Situations that could require immediate emergency assistance include traffic accidents, acute illness and external threats.
Built to work after a collision
Calling an emergency call center after a collision requires that the system is not critically damaged. The system is designed to survive severe collisions and has its own backup battery in case the regular power supply fails.
- The vehicle will initiate a voice call to an emergency call center. It will also send information such as its location and status.
- The emergency call center will try to communicate with you to find out what kind of help you need.
- If the voice call fails, the emergency call center will still be able to respond based on information sent by the vehicle.
Automatic emergency response
The vehicle automatically attempts to contact an emergency call center if it registers a collision above a certain level of severity.2
