The ON CALL and SOS buttons in the roof can provide extra security and assistance, such as if the car doesn’t start, in the event of a puncture, or in the event of an accident, for example.
The functions are available via the ON CALL and SOS buttons in the car’s roof. In the event of an accident, emergency assistance such as ambulance or police can be sent to the car. Roadside assistance can be called for less urgent problems, such as a puncture.
Note

Abuse may lead to supplementary charges. You can use the ON CALL button for other assistance, e.g. questions on the use of the car or if you need roadside assistance.
