Question 6645
In the event of an accident, does the e-Call system notify emergency services?
- Yes, to provide rapid assistance and thereby reduce the severity of injuries.
- Yes, so that 112 can call the vehicle driver's cell phone.
- No; what it does is provide the details of the hospitals closest to the accident site.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Yes, to provide rapid assistance and thereby reduce the severity of injuries.
Yes. After a serious crash, when the airbags deploy, eCall automatically calls 112 and opens a voice connection, even if no one can call for help. This gets help there sooner and can reduce the severity of injuries. You can also activate it with the SOS button, like the one in the image.
