In some cases, OtoZen may not detect a crash or accident if the required crash detection conditions are not met.

Note: Crash Detection and professional emergency dispatch services are premium features and are available only within the United States.

A crash may not be detected if:

  • The vehicle was moving below 25 mph before the impact.
  • The trip was too short before the accident occurred.
  • The vehicle slowed down gradually instead of stopping suddenly.
  • The vehicle did not come to a complete stop after impact.
  • The phone had poor GPS or cellular network coverage.
  • The phone sensors did not record enough crash-related movement.
  • OtoZen did not have the required phone permissions.
  • Crash Detection was not enabled in the OtoZen app.

To help Crash Detection work properly, make sure Location Access is set to Always, your phone has a stable cellular connection, and Crash Detection is enabled under:

OtoZen App → My Safety → Emergency Crash Response

Note: Even when all conditions are met, there may be rare cases where a crash is not detected due to limited GPS availability, temporary network issues, phone sensor issues, or algorithm errors.
