Mercedes-Benz GLC : Mercedes-Benz emergency call system / Triggering an automatic Mercedes‑Benzemergency call

Requirements:

  • The ignition is switched on.
  • The starter battery is sufficiently charged.

The Mercedes‑Benz emergency call system triggers an emergency call automatically in the following cases:

  • After activation of the restraint systems such as airbags or Emergency Tensioning Devices after an accident
  • After an automatically initiated emergency stop by Active Emergency Stop Assist

The emergency call has been made:

  • A voice connection is made to the Mercedes‑Benz emergency call center.
  • A message with accident data is transmitted to the Mercedes‑Benz emergency call center.

    The Mercedes‑Benz emergency call center can transmit the vehicle position data to one of the emergency call centers.

The SOS button in the overhead control panel flashes until the emergency call is finished.

It is not possible to immediately end an automatic emergency call.

If no connection can be made to the emergency services either, a corresponding message appears in the media display.

If an emergency call has been initiated:

  • Remain in the vehicle if the road and traffic conditions permit you to do so until a voice connection is established with the emergency call center operator.
  • Based on the call, the operator decides whether it is necessary to call rescue teams and/or the police to the accident site.
  • If no vehicle occupant answers, an ambulance is sent to the vehicle immediately.
