Controls and features Information icon The Information icon is provided for customer information, such as points of interest near your current location, route assistance and other INFO services as they become available. There may be charges incurred for certain services. i Emergency (S.O.S) icon (emergency assistance) The Emergency (S.O.S) control should be selected if emergency assistance is required. This feature should be used: • if you have been involved in an accident. • to report a crime or fire. • when medical attention is required. • to receive assistance in an emergency situation. When this control is pressed, the Lincoln Security Response Center relays details of your situation and your location to the appropriate authorities via three-way phone call. While the appropriate authorities dispatch help to your location, the response center will: • dispatch the emergency help to your location. • when appropriate, stay in direct phone contact with you until emergency help arrives. • notify pre-designated family contacts or friends of the emergency situation, if requested, or if no response is received from the vehicle. If you are certain of your location, a direct phone call to 911 or other emergency services may provide a faster response. If roadside assistance is required, the Lincoln Security Response Center will contact the Lincoln Commitment Roadside Assistance provider via three-way phone call. S.O.S. 58
