If you do not activate or renew your SOS emergency call or 112 eCall service as part of your InControl Remote subscription, a limited emergency call service will remain active for a total of 10 years from the start of the original manufacturer’s warranty period for the vehicle. Connectivity between the vehicle and emergency services and/or Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) will continue, which will be triggered in the event of an emergency. For more information, please refer to the InControl end user terms found at: www.landrover.com.
A good network coverage is required to operate the SOS emergency call or 112 eCall button. Certain areas with a poor network coverage does not allow the SOS emergency call or 112 eCall feature to operate.
EU specification importing countries feature a free 112 eCall service which is mandated by EU law.
There are two states of emergency call (eCall): Automatic and manual operation. In a crash situation, where the airbags have deployed, an automatic emergency call is made to the emergency services. In a non-crash situation, when emergency assistance is required, the emergency call button can be used manually.
In both states, the button flashes yellow until the emergency services answer the call, at which point the flashing stops.
The emergency call system collects and processes the following information for the purposes of the emergency:
The appropriate emergency services are despatched to the vehicle's location. Contact with the emergency services agent can be made, at any time, by pressing the emergency call button.
The emergency call button is located in the overhead console, on the right side. See DRIVER CONTROLS.
Press and release the button's cover to reveal the button. A red LED illuminates in the button. Press the button for 3 seconds to make a direct call to the emergency services.
If the vehicle is travelling in a different country, the emergency call may still connect. However, the vehicle’s location and the vehicle's details may not be automatically sent to the local provider.
There is a single battery that maintains full system operation in the event that the vehicle's battery is disconnected or disabled. The battery is guaranteed for the vehicle's warranty period. If the battery requires replacement, the instrument panel displays a warning message. Consult a retailer/authorised repairer for a replacement battery.
If the system is faulty, an SOS emergency call fault icon¹ displays red in the overhead console. The instrument panel also displays a warning message to contact a retailer/authorised repairer. If this occurs, the vehicle can still be driven, but consult a retailer/authorised repairer at the earliest opportunity.
Only applicable EU specification importing countries.
