Automatic collision alarm with Volvo On Call*
Volvo On Call Service Centre1
When the car's safety system is triggered, e.g. in an accident in which the activation level is reached for seatbelt tensioners or airbags, the car automatically calls a Volvo On Call service centre and a message is sent containing the position of the car, among other things.
If verbal contact cannot be established, the Volvo On Call Service Centre contacts the relevant authorities that assist with appropriate action.
Prioritise public emergency number1
It is possible to set up the system so that the car phones a public emergency call centre instead of a Volvo On Call service centre. See the separate instructions.
Emergency call centre2
When the car's safety system is triggered, e.g. in an accident in which the activation level is reached for seatbelt tensioners or airbags, a signal will be automatically sent directly to an emergency call centre.
- The emergency call centre tries to establish verbal contact with the car's driver and to find out the extent of the collision and the need for help.
- The emergency call centre sends the necessary assistance (police, ambulance, towing, etc.).
Emergency number
When the collision alarm is activated the system attempts to establish contact with the country's Volvo On Call service centre. If this is not possible, then the call is routed to the designated emergency number for the area where the car is located.
