WARNING: Do not wait for 911 Assist™ to make an emergency
call if you can do it yourself. Dial emergency services immediately
to avoid delayed response time which could increase the risk of serious
injury or death after a crash. If you do not hear 911 Assist™ within five
seconds of the crash, the system or phone may be damaged or
non-functional.
WARNING: Always place your phone in a secure location in the
vehicle so it does not becoming a projectile or get damaged in a
collision. Failure to do so may cause serious injury to someone or damage
the phone which could prevent 911 Assist™ from working properly.
Note: SYNC
௡ 911 Assist™ feature must be set on prior to the incident.
Note: Before setting this feature on, ensure that you read the 911
Assist™ privacy notice later in this section for important information.
Note: If 911 Assist™ is turned on or off by any user, that setting applies
for all paired phones. If 911 Assist™ is turned off, a voice message plays
and/or a display message/icon comes on when the vehicle is started after
a previously paired phone connects.
Note: Every phone operates differently. While SYNC
௡ 911 Assist™ works
with most cellular phones, some may have trouble using this feature.
If a crash deploys an airbag or activates the fuel pump shut-off, your
SYNC equipped vehicle may be able to contact emergency services by
dialing 911 through a paired and connected Bluetooth-enabled phone.
