G-BOOK SYSTEM OUTLINE
The G-BOOK system is a telematics service that links the vehicle and G-BOOK network (provides information from the G-BOOK center or content providers).
To use the G-BOOK system, it is necessary to connect the telematics transceiver (data communication module) to the display and navigation module display.
The user needs to follow the instructions on the multi-display to start using the G-BOOK system service after applying for the service at a dealership.

DEVICE USED FOR G-BOOK SYSTEM COMMUNICATION
The telematics transceiver is used for data communication or emergency call service telephone calls and operator service telephone calls.
The hands-free function cannot use the telematics transceiver. A user's "Bluetooth" compatible cellular phone needs to be used.
Perform the following if the device used for G-BOOK system communication is replaced.
Tech Tips
If the display and navigation module display or the telematics transceiver is replaced on vehicles that do not have a contract for the G-BOOK service, perform the vehicle contract setting.
If the display and navigation module display or the telematics transceiver is replaced on vehicles that have a contract for the G-BOOK service, perform the vehicle contract setting and the procedure to resume the G-BOOK service and to start the emergency call service.
G-BOOK ID OUTLINE
On this model, the display and navigation module display functions as the G-BOOK device.
The display and navigation module display has a serial number (G-BOOK ID) which can be used to determine the individual device when servicing.
MAYDAY ID OUTLINE
On this model, the telematics transceiver functions as the emergency call service device to perform emergency calls.
The telematics transceiver has a serial number (mayday ID) which can be used to identify the individual device when servicing.
Data Communication Module (DCM) OUTLINE
| *1 | DCM ID |
The G-BOOK device uses the DCM (telematics transceiver) to provide access to the network service.
The DCM has a DCM ID (described on the label attached to the DCM).
As is the case with cellular phones, the DCM has a phone number.
G-BOOK SUPPORT CENTER OUTLINE
The G-BOOK support center provides members with opportunities to ask questions and information necessary for troubleshooting.
| Main Service | Outline |

COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
USB Outline
G-BOOK system components communicate with each other via the USB.
Tech Tips
If a short or open circuit occurs in the USB circuit, communication will be interrupted and the system will not operate normally.
DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTION OUTLINE
The G-BOOK system has a diagnostic function (the result will be displayed on the master unit or intelligent tester).

WARNING NOTIFICATION FUNCTION
Note
Before performing inspections or repairs which may cause warning messages or DTC to occur, such as a simulation test or road test, it is necessary to activate warning notification restraint mode so that the G-BOOK center does not recognize the warnings as real ones.
Warning notification restraint mode can be entered by using the intelligent tester or operating the multi-display.
Tech Tips
The warning notification function sends a warning message signal, received from the combination meter assembly via CAN communication, to the G-BOOK center using the G-BOOK device if a warning is displayed due to a vehicle malfunction.
Warning notification restraint mode
Tech Tips
Performing the following procedure will select warning notification restraint mode.
After warning notification restraint mode is entered, driving the vehicle 10 km (6 mile) will cancel the mode.
Warning notification restraint mode (Using the intelligent tester)
Turn the power switch off.
Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
Start the engine.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / DTC.
Warning notification restraint mode (Operating the multi-display)
Enter diagnostic mode of the navigation system (for HDD) Click here.
MAYDAY BATTERY OUTLINE
As the mayday battery is a non-rechargeable (primary) battery, it cannot be recharged.
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 automatic emergency call is performed, the mayday battery must be replaced with a new one.
