Automatic collision alarm with Volvo On Call*
Volvo On Call Service Centre1
When the car's safety system is triggered, e.g. in an accident in which the activation level is reached for the seatbelt tensioner or airbags, a signal will be automatically sent to a Volvo On Call service centre. The following will occur:
- A message, containing car position, etc., is sent automatically from the car to a Volvo On Call service centre.
- The Volvo On Call Service Centre then establishes verbal contact with the car's driver and tries to find out the extent of the collision and the need for help.
- The Volvo On Call Service Centre then contacts the necessary assistance (police, ambulance, towing, etc.).
If verbal contact cannot be established, the Volvo On Call Service Centre contacts the relevant authorities that assist with appropriate action.
