  • the system further offers the possibility for remote user at the customer service center to retrieve information from or send command to any module in the vehicle connected to the internal data bus or network 208. These reports and information can be stored by the customer service center and used for vehicle maintenance and repair.
  • the transition from private subscription to service subscription can be initiated by a key press of the operator, if for example a road or emergency assistance is needed. Further, an accident can automatically initiate the service subscription by means of at least one sensor which for example detects an air-bag deployment. Also, service subscription can be activated by an alarm in case of theft.
  • the transition to private subscription is effected by a simple key press ("phone on").
  • a conflict concerning simultaneous execution of several such services is handled automatically by the system by assigning and affecting a priority to each service.
  • an air-bag deployment notification has the highest priority. If for example a driver asks for roadside assistance, the roadside assistance service of the system is activated. If subsequently the driver or a sensor signals an emergency, the roadside assistance service is deactivated and the emergency assistance service is activated. If then an accident occurs, the emergency assistance service is deactivated and an air-bag deployment notification is activated.
  • the driver can manually request help in any case. If he or she is lost, vehicle position is reported using GPS 40 and GPS controller 204, and navigation information is provided by voice or data communication from the customer service center. If the vehicle has broken down, remote vehicle diagnostic may be performed, vehicle position is reported using GPS and breakdown mechanic and roadside assistance 23 is informed. These are only a few examples of possible manual assistance provided by the inventive system.
  • the vehicle status and position are reported automatically to the customer service center or a specific rescue service via the service subscription.
