Automatic Collision Notifi-
cation

In case of either airbag deploy-
ment or severe rear-end colli-
sion, the system is designed to
automatically call the response
center. The responding agent
receives the vehicle’s location
and attempts to speak with the
vehicle occupants to assess the
level of emergency. If the occu-
pants are unable to communi-
cate, the agent automatically
treats the call as an emergency,
contacts the nearest emer-
gency services provider to
describe the situation, and
requests that assistance be sent
to the location.

■

Stolen Vehicle Location

If your vehicle is stolen, Safety
Connect can work with local
authorities to assist them in
locating and recovering the
vehicle. After filing a police
report, call the Customer Experi-
ence Center at 1-800-331-4331
in the United States, 1-877-855-
8377 in Puerto Rico or 1-888-

Exposure to radio fre-
quency signals

The Safety Connect system
installed in your vehicle is a low-
power radio transmitter and
receiver. It receives and also
sends out radio frequency (RF)
signals.
In August 1996, the Federal
Communications Commission
(FCC) adopted RF exposure
guidelines with safety levels for
mobile wireless phones. Those
guidelines are consistent with
the safety standards previously
set by the following U.S. and
international standards bodies.



ANSI (American National
Standards Institute) C95.1
[1992]



NCRP (National Council on
Radiation Protection and
Measurement) Report 86
[1986]



ICNIRP (International Com-
mission on Non-Ionizing Radi-
ation Protection) [1996]

Those standards were based on
comprehensive and periodic
evaluations of the relevant sci-

Safety information for
Safety Connect
