Important information
Emergency Call Service
There for you whenever you need it. You can count on us.
The "Emergency Call Service" helps you in an emergency situation. In serious accidents, for instance, where airbags are activated, help is called automatically. If your Volkswagen registers an accident, the service will establish a connection to the Volkswagen emergency call centre and transmit important information to the first responders. You can also call for help manually at the touch of a button.
- Communicates relevant data to the Volkswagen Emergency Call Centre in order to ensure prompt medical attention
- Ensures personal support until help arrives
- Can be used to call for help if other road users are involved in an accident
- Is active as soon as you receive your vehicle - no registration required
Connectivity of the Next-Generation "eCall" Emergency Call System ("NG eCall") is dependent on the availability of third-party services and may not be possible in some scenarios, including where telecommunications infrastructure is unable to receive or relay data transmitted by the vehicle. UK telecoms infrastructure is currently undergoing upgrades to enable compatibility with NG eCall and cannot fully support data transmitted via NG eCall until those upgrades are complete. NG eCall will operate in a limited capacity until that time and should not be relied upon exclusively in an emergency.
