General
In the event that a driver is confronted with an emergency situation in a remote location, a service center employee can obtain an overview of the situation inside the vehicle with the aid of the data received from the emergency call system control unit (voice connection and SMS) and initiate the action required for help. An emergency call be triggered manually or automatically. The objectives of these emergency calls are:
- Automatic alerting of the rescue services after an accident
- Alerting of rescue workings at the press of a button (own emergency situation, observed accident)
- Reduction of rescue times through fast emergency notification with details on exact location involved
The emergency call function consists of the following subfunctions:
- Function sequence for initiating manual emergency call
- Function sequence for initiating automatic emergency call
- Function sequence for transmission of emergency call data and communication with the service center
Function requirements for initiating manual emergency call
- Circuit 30
- Triggering a manual emergency call by pressing the SOS push button (S93/3) > 0.5 s
- A higher-priority vehicle-related service is not active
Function sequence for initiating manual emergency call
The emergency call system control unit reads in the SOS pushbutton switch directly via a discrete line.
Function requirements for initiating automatic emergency call
- Circuit 15R
- Triggering an automatic emergency call by the crash signal and receiving the crash level from the restrain systems control unit
Function sequence for initiating automatic emergency call
The emergency call system control unit receives the crash signal from the restraint systems control unit via a discrete line. Simultaneously. the emergency call system control unit receives the crash signal (redundant) and the crash level from the restrain systems control unit via the following route:
- Chassis CAN
- Central gateway control unit (N93)
- Diagnostic CAN
Function sequence for transmission of emergency call data and communication with the service center
After a manual or automatic emergency call has been triggered, the emergency call system control unit completes a voice connection to the service center.
After the service center replies with a special tone, the emergency call system control unit automatically sends an SMS with the following data to the service center over the integrated communication module:
- Vehicle position, direction of ravel and history
- Vehicle data and crash analysis (accident severity)
The communication module integrated into the emergency call system control unit transmits and receives the mobile phone signals or data via the following route:
- Direct line
- Frequency switchover control unit (N96), model 221 with code (389) Mobile phone preinstallation with universal interface, USA/Canada, and direct line
- Emergency call antenna (A2/52), model 216
- Telephone and GPS roof antenna (A2/49), model 221
The emergency call antenna is integrated in the GPS antenna (A2/49a2) in model 216.
If connection to the service center cannot be established when an automatic emergency call is triggered, a voice connection is automatically set up using the emergency number "911" and it is then necessary to communicate the listed data verbally.
When a manual or automatic emergency call is active, this status is indicated by the two red light-emitting diodes (LED), integrated into the SOS pushbutton switch, flashing. This is also indicated in the instrument cluster (A1) and on the COMAND display (A40/8).
In the event of a manual or automatic emergency call, other vehicle-related services (e.g. MB-Info call) are interrupted.
If the telephone and GPS roof antenna, model 221, or the emergency call antenna, model 216, fails (e.g. malfunction caused by rollover) the emergency call system control unit transmits and receives the mobile radio signals and data via the following route in order to transfer mobile radio signals and mobile radio data:
- Direct line
- Emergency call system antenna splitter (A2/25)
- Direct line
- Emergency call system left backup antenna (A2/54)
- Emergency call system right backup antenna (A2/55)
