and maintain an outgoing call at the time of the incident.

In the Event of a Crash
Not all crashes deploy an airbag or activate the fuel pump shut-off
(which would activate 911 Assist™); however, if 911 Assist™ is
triggered, SYNC
௡ tries to contact emergency services. If a connected
phone is damaged 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. Failure to cancel the call results in SYNC
௡ attempting 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.”
