How to Set Up Emergency Contacts on Your Vehicle Tag

April 3, 20264 min read

A step-by-step guide to configuring emergency contacts, medical info, and notification preferences on your 95dot Vehicle Safety Tag.

Why Emergency Contacts Matter

Every year, thousands of road accidents occur where bystanders want to help but don't know who to call. Your Vehicle Safety Tag solves this by providing instant access to your emergency contacts.

Step-by-Step Setup

Step 1: Log into Your Dashboard

After purchasing a Vehicle Safety Tag, log into your 95dot account and navigate to the Emergency Info section from the sidebar.

Step 2: Add Emergency Contacts

You can add up to 3 emergency contacts. For each contact, provide:

  • Full name
  • Phone number with country code
  • Relationship (spouse, parent, friend, etc.)

Tip: Choose contacts who are usually available and can act quickly in emergencies.

Step 3: Add Medical Information

This section is optional but highly recommended. You can add:

  • Blood Group: Critical for emergency medical treatment
  • Medical Conditions: Allergies, chronic conditions, medications
  • Insurance Policy Number: Helps in claim processing

Step 4: Configure Notification Preferences

Choose how you want to be notified when your tag is scanned:

  • SMS notification
  • Push notification (if using the dashboard)
  • Email notification

Step 5: Test Your Tag

After setup, scan your own tag to make sure everything works correctly. Check that:

  • Your profile loads properly
  • Contact buttons work
  • Emergency information is visible

Best Practices

1. Keep contacts updated: If someone changes their phone number, update it immediately

2. Choose diverse contacts: Pick contacts in different locations — if one is unreachable, another can respond

3. Review quarterly: Set a reminder to review your emergency info every 3 months

4. Inform your contacts: Let your emergency contacts know they're listed so they're prepared if called

What Scanners See

When someone scans your Vehicle Tag in an emergency, they see:

  • A prominent "Emergency Contact" button
  • Your blood group and medical conditions (if provided)
  • Quick-dial buttons for each emergency contact
  • Your vehicle details for identification

The scanner never sees your personal phone number — only the emergency contacts you've chosen to display.
