Emergency Rescue Procedure

Emergency Rescues
Situation

If for any reason the car stops, and it is not possible to leave the car in the normal way,
there is no danger to users in the car. The car is secured against uncontrolled
movements. Ventilation slits allow air into the car. If the power supply fails, emergency
lighting will immediately provide light inside the car.

2-Way
Communications
System

The car is equipped with a 2–way voice communication system, which can be used in an
emergency to set up communication with a rescue service.
The alarm button in the car should only be pressed in an emergency. When the alarm
button is pressed, the alarm is passed on automatically. After a short time, the person on
duty at the responsible service center replies. The person gives instructions to the user,
and organizes whatever action is necessary.
