Abstract: A method for testing the functional capability of an emergency call device of a transportation vehicle. In an emergency mode, at least one specific audio signal is generated for a vehicle passenger by the emergency call device and emitted to the interior of the transportation vehicle. For testing, the emergency call device is put into a testing mode in which the at least one audio signal intended for the emergency is generated and wherein, in the testing mode, the generated audio signal passes, within the vehicle-internal emergency call device, through a signal path which is modified compared with the emergency mode.

Abstract: A vehicle console system having at least one vehicle seat and/or vehicle table console, as at least one vehicle console. At least one attachment device corresponds to at least one locking element in order to attach the at least one vehicle console to the attachment device. The attachment device has two attachment regions to which the at least one vehicle console is locked via the at least one locking element, and wherein the attachment device has, at an electrically contacted attachment region of the two attachment regions, an at least second electrical contact surface corresponding to the first electrical contact surface; and a control unit that is electrically connected to the at least one second electrical contact surface and is equipped to sense the electrical contact between the at least one first electrical contact surface and the at least second electrical contact surface and to issue a command.

Abstract: An emergency reporting device in a motor vehicle for manually and/or automatically reporting an emergency to a report center is provided. A hands-free communication apparatus, consisting of at least one microphone and at least one loudspeaker, can be used to communicate with the report center. The microphone is arranged in a first vertical plane extending perpendicularly to a longitudinal direction of the motor vehicle, and the loudspeaker is arranged separate from the microphone in a second vertical plane extending perpendicularly to the longitudinal direction of the motor vehicle. Furthermore, the microphone and the loudspeaker are additionally arranged in a central region of the motor vehicle containing a vertical longitudinal center plane.
