E142607
You can also access 911 Assist
by:
•
Pressing the Settings icon > Settings
> Phone > 911 Assist, or
•
Pressing the Settings icon > Help > 911
Assist.
To make sure that 911 Assist works
properly:
•
SYNC must be powered and working
properly at the time of the incident and
throughout feature activation and use.
•
The 911 Assist feature must be set on
prior to the incident.
•
You must pair and connect a
Bluetooth-enabled and compatible
phone to SYNC.
•
A connected Bluetooth-enabled phone
must have the ability to make and
maintain an outgoing call at the time
of the incident.
•
A connected Bluetooth-enabled phone
must have adequate network
coverage, battery power and signal
strength.
•
The vehicle must have battery power
and be located in the United States,
Canada or in a territory in which 911 is
the emergency number.
In the Event of a Crash
Not all crashes deploy an airbag or
activate the fuel pump shut-off (which
would trigger 911 Assist); however, SYNC
tries to contact emergency services if 911
Assist triggers. If a connected phone
sustains damage or loses connection to
SYNC, SYNC searches for, and tries to
connect to, any available previously paired
phone and tries to make the call to 911.
Before making the call:
•
SYNC provides a short window of time
(about 10 seconds) to cancel the call.
If you fail to cancel the call, SYNC
attempts to dial 911.
•
SYNC says the following, or a similar
message: "SYNC will attempt to call
911, to cancel the call, press Cancel on
your screen or press and hold the
phone button on your steering wheel."
If you do not cancel the call, and SYNC
makes a successful call, a pre-recorded
message plays for the 911 operator, and
then the occupant(s) in your vehicle is able
to talk with the operator. Be prepared to
provide your name, phone number and
location immediately, because not all 911
systems are capable of receiving this
information electronically.
911 Assist May Not Work If
•
Your cellular phone or 911 Assist
hardware sustains damage in a crash.
•
The vehicle's battery or the SYNC
system has no power.
•
The phone(s) thrown from your vehicle
are the ones paired and connected to
the system.
