TELEMATICS SYSTEM SYSTEM DESCRIPTION


  1. TELEMATICS SYSTEM OUTLINE


    1. The telematics system is a telematics service that links the vehicle and G-BOOK network (provides information from the G-BOOK center or content providers).

    2. To use the telematics system, it is necessary to connect the telematics transceiver (Data Communication Module [DCM]) to the multi-media module receiver assembly.

      Tech Tips

      For vehicles with a telematics transceiver, the telematics system cannot be used over a "Wi-Fi" connection.

    3. The user needs to follow the instructions on the accessory meter assembly screen to start using the telematics system service after applying for the service at a dealership.

      • When an emergency call is made: Sends vehicle location information to the G-BOOK center.

      • When a warning occurs, the telematics transceiver receives a warning ON signal from the combination meter assembly via CAN communication and sends it to the G-BOOK center.

      • When the theft deterrent system is activated, the telematics transceiver sends information that the security horn has sounded to the G-BOOK center.
    Mayday Battery (Back-up Battery)

    • When an automatic emergency call is performed, the mayday battery provides power to the DCM.

    • When a manual emergency call is made, the mayday battery is not used as the power source.

    • The mayday battery conducts a self-diagnosis every time the engine switch is turned on (IG), and after an automatic emergency call or manual emergency call is made, and the result is sent to the DCM.

  3. DEVICE USED FOR TELEMATICS SYSTEM COMMUNICATION


    1. The telematics transceiver is used for data communication or emergency call service telephone calls and operator service telephone calls.

    2. The hands-free function does not use the telematics transceiver. A user's "Bluetooth" compatible cellular phone needs to be used.

    3. Perform the following if the device used for telematics system communication is replaced.

      Tech Tips


      • If the multi-media module receiver assembly or the telematics transceiver is replaced on vehicles that do not have a contract for the G-BOOK, perform vehicle contract setting.

      • If the multi-media module receiver assembly or the telematics transceiver is replaced on vehicles that have a contract for the G-BOOK, perform the vehicle contract setting and the procedure to resume the G-BOOK to start the emergency call service.

  9. SAFETY & SECURITY FUNCTION OUTLINE


    1. Vehicle status alerts


      1. Once a fixed amount of time elapses after completing vehicle device operations such as turning the engine switch off and locking the doors, the vehicle status is sent to the G-BOOK center.

        When the vehicle status alerts delivery conditions are met, vehicle status alerts notification emails are delivered to the specified email address of the customer.

        Vehicle Status Alerts Delivery Conditions
        Vehicle status alerts email delivery conditions

        When the following conditions are met according to the information stored at the G-BOOK center:


        • Hood, back door and all doors closed

        • Electrical key transmitter not detected inside vehicle

        • When one or more of the following occurs: Doors unlock, hazard lights flash, headlights illuminate, clearance light illuminates, windows open or sliding roof opens.

        Note


        • To prevent vehicle status alerts emails from being delivered to customers when inspections and repairs are performed, set the telematics system to communication function restraint mode Click here.

        • After removal and installation of the battery, emails are not delivered until the engine switch is turned on (ACC).

        • Even when the electrical key transmitter is inside the interior key detection area, the electrical key transmitter may not be detected if inside a metallic bag, the battery is depleted, etc.

        • Even when the electrical key transmitter is outside the vehicle, the electrical key transmitter may be determined to be inside the vehicle depending on whether the entry and start system is canceled, where the electrical key transmitter is placed, etc.

        Tech Tips

        Cancel/temporary stop settings for the vehicle status alerts can be operated by the customer via the G-BOOK on-vehicle screen, G-BOOK site or G-BOOK mobile site.

    2. Vehicle status report


      1. Once a fixed amount of time elapses after completing vehicle device operations such as turning the engine switch off and locking the doors, the vehicle status report function sends the vehicle status to the G-BOOK center. Afterward, the vehicle status can be checked on the customer's cellular phone.

        Note


        • Before performing inspections and repairs, prevent the vehicle status from updating by setting the telematics system to communication function restraint mode Click here.

        • After removal and installation of the battery, the vehicle status report condition is not updated until the engine switch is turned on (ACC).

        • When the entry and start system is canceled, even if the electrical key transmitter is outside the vehicle, the system may determine that the key is inside the vehicle.

    3. Alarm notification


      1. When the security horn warning operates, the customer is notified via telephone and an email delivered to their specified email address from the service center.

        Note


        • Take care to prevent alarm notifications being sent during work.

        • When performing inspections and repairs that may cause alarm notifications to be sent, make sure to tell the customer in advance that they may receive alarm notification emails or telephone calls.

        Tech Tips

        The alarm notification cancel setting can be operated by the customer via the G-BOOK onvehicle screen, G-BOOK site or G-BOOK mobile site.

  13. MAYDAY BATTERY OUTLINE


    1. As the mayday battery is a non-rechargeable (primary) battery, it cannot be recharged.

    2. When it is time to replace the mayday battery, the emergency call switch red indicator will come on.

      The DCM will also store a DTC.

      Note

      After an automatic emergency call is performed, the mayday battery must be replaced with a new one.

  14. COMMUNICATION FUNCTION RESTRAINT OPERATION

    Note


    • Set the vehicle to "Communication function restraint" before performing inspections and repairs such as the removal and installation of parts, simulation tests, confirmation driving patterns, etc., which output warning displays and DTCs so that the G-BOOK center will not incorrectly recognize the output warnings and DTCs. Doing so also prevents the delivery of vehicle status alerts emails to customers according to vehicle operations performed and the vehicle status while at the workshop, and the updating of the vehicle status which can be checked via the vehicle status report function.

    • Communication function restraint mode can be entered by using the GTS or operating the multi-display.

    Tech Tips


    • When a warning is generated by a vehicle malfunction, the warning notification function sends a warning display signal from the combination meter assembly to the G-BOOK center via the G-BOOK onboard device.

    • Updates to the vehicle status, which can be checked by the delivery of vehicle status alerts emails and the vehicle status report, are based on the vehicle status sent to the G-BOOK center once a fixed amount of time elapses after completing vehicle device operations such as turning the engine switch off.

    • Immediately after entering communication function restraint mode using the GTS or when starting the navigation system by turning the engine switch from off to on (ACC), the communication function restraint mode can be canceled/resumed from the displayed communication function suspension screen.
