 automatic call for a breathalyser after a crash ? - Crankcase
My Skoda has this, and the SOS module has a very occasional fault. The failure is known, I discover, and it's being sorted under warranty this week.

First time it failed I found it goes ping. Yellow light on dash. Then cruise fails. Then satnav fails. I expected it start singing "Daisy, Daisy" slower and slower.

Checked on the net when I got home. Wisdom said if it fails, just press the sos button in the roof, cancel the call it tries to make, all good until next time.

It failed. I pressed the sos button. In a voice you could hear a mile away at the top volume of the Canton speaker system with the subwoofer set to 11 it bellowed "Emergency call initiated!!!"

The two fuddy-duddies in the back were asleep. One had a heart attack there and then, the other lost her teeth into the back of my neck and Mrs C leapt out of the passenger window at 70mph.

It's a great system.
