emergency

An emergency is an urgent, unexpected, and usually dangerous situation that poses an immediate risk to health, life, property, or environment and requires immediate action. Most emergencies require urgent intervention to prevent a worsening of the situation, although in some situations, mitigation may not be possible and agencies may only be able to offer palliative care for the aftermath.
While some emergencies are self-evident (such as a natural disaster that threatens many lives), many smaller incidents require that an observer (or affected party) decide whether it qualifies as an emergency.
The precise definition of an emergency, the agencies involved and the procedures used, vary by jurisdiction, and this is usually set by the government, whose agencies (emergency services) are responsible for emergency planning and management.

    Emergency services call out button.

    Does anyone else think the emergency services call out button above your head ( central / windscreen ) should maybe be a big red button that says "DO NOT PUSH EXCEPT IN AN EMERGENCY" in big letters? ( Watched Father Ted Plane episode last night 😂😂). It is in exactly the same place I am used to...

    Emergency key missing in one fob. Mark1

    Rapid Charger bricked my Mark1 ZS again, lots of fault lights on dash, couldn't unlock the doors. Apparently 12 V battery was drained in the fault. It turns out the fob I was carrying doesn't have an emergency key. 100 odd miles away from home, where the other fob was sat, turns out does have...

    Trying to put an interior light on while driving, I hit the SOS emergency button by mistake (should it really be so near the light controls?).

    Autonomous Emergency Braking setting

    Bit overzealous, isn't it? Nearly resulted in a bus going into the back of me today. Average B road, oncoming car was driving safely on their side of the road, my car suddenly goes from 20mph to 0 to the alarm of the bus driver (following at a safe distance). Just wondering what would have...

    Merged thread: Automatic Emergency Braking activating for no reason

    My wife was scared sh**less this morning when her MG4 Trophy did a sudden and totally inappropriate emergency stop, whilst travelling at 30mph through a quiet nearby village. A Tesla was following at a safe distance and fortunately no collision took place. The car was then ok to drive away...

    Emergency charge port release

    How hard does one need to pull on the emergency release cable to unlock the charge port? I just cant seem to be able to release it? The car is dead, I suspect a 12V battery drain.

    Hi, everyone. I had the 🐢 yesterday, climbing a steep slope, just over 2 miles away from the charger and then the car just stopped. It was indeed showing 0% battery and not even calculating the remaining range. While considering the options an hour before midnight, in a small French town, I...
