In what situation is the eCall system designed to be triggered manually?

The eCall system is designed to automatically alert emergency services in the event of a serious accident. However, it can also be triggered manually in specific situations where help is needed urgently.

In this case, the correct circumstances for manual activation are:

1. If you witness a serious accident, your immediate reporting allows emergency services to respond promptly, potentially saving lives.
2. If a passenger suffers a medical emergency, activating eCall can expedite medical assistance, which is critical for a person's health and safety.

Choosing both options is essential because both situations require immediate intervention, while option three, regarding a puncture, does not warrant a manual eCall as it does not pose an immediate risk to life or health. Understanding these distinctions aligns with German traffic laws emphasizing the need for clear and responsible reporting in emergencies.
