ITEM	DESCRIPTION
1	Microphone - Right Hand Drive (RHD) vehicles
2	Emergency call (eCall) switch
3	Cover
4	Breakdown call (bCall) switch
5	Microphone - Left Hand Drive (LHD) vehicles

The front overhead console houses the Breakdown call (bCall) and Emergency call (eCall) switches and microphone. The functions of the bCall and eCall switches are controlled by the Telematics Control Module (TCU).

The microphone is connected directly to the TCU. The TCU use this connection during an eCall or bCall, enabling the driver to verbally communicate with the telematics service provider.

The location of the microphone changes depending if the vehicle is Left Hand Drive (LHD) or Right Hand Drive (RHD).

The microphone input is shared for voice control by the following:

The Audio Head Unit (AHU) on vehicles with InControl Touch audio system.
The Infotainment Master Controller (IMC) on vehicles with InControl Touch Pro audio system.

When the microphone must be used by the AHU or the IMC (depending on specification), the TCU transmits the microphone signals to the AHU or the IMC via hardwired connection.

On vehicles without telematics feature, the microphone is connected directly to the AHU or the IMC (depending on specification). For additional information, Refer to: VOICE CONTROL (G2196500)
