Permanently disabling the SOS system
Software is loaded onto the telematics unit so that the "Emergency Call Function Fault" warning on the screen is removed completely and the SOS system is taken out of service.
Bringing the SOS system back into service
The faulty SOS emergency call function is made to work again in software; it is a more extensive job in terms of labour and software.
