On New Focus the eCall Button is located in the headline roof console. The Button is marked with a red SOS. To manually activate an eCall you have to click open the SOS cover and push the red button underneath.
eCall automatically dials the emergency services after a serious accident. It will communicate the vehicle location and enable emergency call takers to contact the vehicle and check if the driver is conscious or not. Like Ford Emergency Assist, this is triggered when the airbag is deployed or the fuel pump switch is deactivated. However eCall will work without the need to connect to a mobile phone creating seamless connectivity.
No. Ford has committed to cover all eCall related data costs for the life time of the vehicle.

Don’t worry while the eCall is being placed you will receive an audible and visual warning from the car and you have 15 seconds to cancel it by pushing the red SOS button again.
An eCall will only fail to be made if there is zero available signal, this may be the case in some areas across Europe.
The eCall and SOS button can help you with any emergency that occurs in the vehicle. Whether you have a serious accident, a medical emergency or you see an accident on the road and you want to alert the emergency services, just press the red SOS button.
Vehicle accidents are extremely unpredictable events. For the system to operate, the vehicle's electrical system and the wireless service provider's signal must be available. Although we have taken several measures to ensure functionality also under crash conditions (including a separate backup-battery) depending on the severity of the accident, the vehicle's systems could be damaged to such an extent that eCall would not be able to initiate or maintain a call.
