potter18 Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 started the car yesterday and a message " emergency assist not connected contact your dealer " appeared on the display, it Does this occasionally ( about 3 or 4 times now ) just wondered if its anything I should be worried about , it reconnects fine the next time you drive the car and its due its second service in june so ill mention it then, but anyone have any thoughts. ?

Leezer Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Pretty sure it just means your phone ain't connected to make the emergency call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil 87 Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 I've never seen a "contact your dealer" message when I disconnect my phone. It could be a serious problem so I'd go straight to a dealer if it was me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 It's basically like the Onstar system used in America. It provides direct calling to recovery/emergency services but is reliant on a connection to a phone to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt1981 Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Sounds like a fault unless the service was just offline at that time, I've never seen that message. The usual messages are firstly about searching for a phone, then a 2nd message if you don't connect one says emergency assist requires a connected phone.
