The Mercedes-Benz emergency call system can help to decisively reduce the time between an accident and the arrival of emer- gency services at the site of the accident. It can also help locate an accident site in places that are difficult to see. The emergency call can be made automati- cally or manually and is transmitted to the Europe-wide private Mercedes-Benz emer- gency call number. The vehicle position data is simultaneously transmitted by text mes- sage and DTMF to the Mercedes-Benz emer- gency call centre. The Mercedes-Benz emer- gency call centre transmits the vehicle posi- tion data to one of the Europe-wide public emergency call centres. In almost all coun- tries, the voice connection can be made in the respective country's language. This allows measures for rescue, recovery or towing to a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre to be initiated quickly. If the Mercedes-Benz emergency call system function is operational, you see the SOS READY display message in the basic tele- phone menu (Y page 418). Information on service availability in Europe (Y page 415). i Note that manual emergency calls should only be used if you or others are in need of rescue, not e.g. in the event of a break- down.
Service availability in Europe The Mercedes-Benz emergency call system is available for your vehicle for 15 years after the initial date of production, if: Rit is equipped with COMAND Online Rit was originally produced for the European
market
