  2. FUNCTION


    1. Emergency Call Service


      1. The emergency call service automatically makes a call to a G-BOOK center operator in the event of an accident, such as one that makes the airbags deploy, in order to support prompt attendance by emergency personnel.

      2. In the event of trouble such as an accident or sudden illness, the telematics transceiver (data communication module) can be used to call the emergency call center and send location information and the registered user information.

      3. The emergency call service can be activated either manually or automatically to contact the G-BOOK center.

        Call Method Operation Condition
        Automatic Call An automatic call is made in the event of an accident, such as one that makes the airbags deploy. The call occurs regardless of the condition of the occupants.
        Manual Call

        In the event of a sudden illness or an accident that does not cause the airbags to deploy, a manual call can be made by pressing the emergency call switch in the overhead console.

        (To press the emergency call switch, the emergency call switch cover needs to be removed.)

      4. The emergency call service operation and contract conditions can be confirmed by accessing the G-BOOK center and performing the following maintenance checks.

        Maintenance Check Outline
        Automatic Maintenance Check The telematics transceiver (data communication module) automatically and periodically accesses the emergency call center to confirm if the user is still registered.
        Manual Maintenance Check The user can press the emergency call switch for 10 seconds or more while the green and red indicator lights are on immediately after the power switch is turned on (IG) to access the G-BOOK center and confirm that they are still registered.

        Tech Tips

        In the following cases, the emergency call service may not be available or the service quality may suffer.


        • The G-BOOK online service has not been established or the first manual maintenance check has not been completed.

        • Communication is interrupted due to a malfunction of the telematics transceiver (data communication module) or any other related device.

        • The location cannot be determined.

        • Communication is interrupted due to a service provider system malfunction.

        • Communication problems occur in the communication network used for the emergency call system.

        • The emergency call service is suspended or halted due to emergency call provider reasons.

        • Although a manual call is made, the situation cannot be confirmed because the user cannot respond to questions from the G-BOOK center.

    2. Theft Tracking Service


      1. The theft tracking service notifies the G-BOOK center that the alarm has operated when the theft deterrent system is activated.

      2. The G-BOOK center makes a call to the user to notify them that the alarm has operated. If the call cannot get thorough, the G-BOOK center sends a short message service (SMS) message.

      3. In the event of theft, the vehicle location can be tracked as requested by the user. If requested by the user, a G-BOOK operator asks the authorities to find the stolen vehicle and take the case under their control.

        • The vehicle location is confirmed.
        (2) The user is notified about the trouble by a call. If the call cannot get through, the user is notified by a short message service (SMS) message.
        (3) The user makes a request.
        (4) A call-out is made to the authorities.
        (5) The authorities respond to the scene.

    3. Remote Maintenance Service


      1. Remote maintenance mail and warning notifications are provided as the remote maintenance service.

        Contents Outline
        Remote Maintenance Mail

        • The remote maintenance mail is sent by the telematics transceiver (data communication module) to the G-BOOK center to provide information about the condition of the vehicle.

        • The G-BOOK center then notifies the vehicle user about the inspection timing and maintenance notice.
        Warning Notification

        • The warning notification is a signal indicating a failure or malfunction of systems, information about which is received by the combination meter assembly.

        • This notification is sent by the telematics transceiver (data communication module) to the G-BOOK center when the power switch is on (Start).

        • The G-BOOK center then notifies the vehicle user about the malfunction condition and how to cope with the problem based on the information received.
        B0022LXE03
        No. Process of Warning Notification
        (1) Information about the vehicle, details of any trouble or malfunctions, is sent.
        (2) The user is notified about the malfunction and how to cope with it.
        (3) The user requests a reservation.
        (4) Location and membership information.
        (5) Information about a failure or malfunction.
        (6) The reservation has been confirmed.
        (7) The user brings the vehicle in.

    4. Operator Service


      1. The operator service allows the user to directly call a G-BOOK center operator. The user can ask the operator to set a destination or send a POI facility search result or news and weather forecasts information to the navigation system.

      2. The operator service uses the radio receiver assembly to make calls via the following devices.


        • Cellular phone connection type navigation system: Cellular phone. It is necessary to register the phone using the Bluetooth hands-free function.

        • Telematics transceiver connection type navigation system: Telematics transceiver (data communication module). It is not necessary to register a phone using the Bluetooth hands-free function.

        Function Outline
        Destination Setting Displays the specified destination location on the navigation system screen.
        Weather Forecast* Displays and reads out the vehicle location, destination or weather forecast for the specified area.
        News* Displays and reads out updates, society, sports and entertainment news.

        • *: Using the browser content display function built-in the navigation system, the following contents can be displayed. If news content is displayed, headlines are read out to assist the driver in checking the content easily even while driving.

    5. Navigation System Link Function


      1. The navigation system link function provides the navigation system with real-time information obtained from the G-BOOK center, offering more effective use of the navigation system for the user.

      2. The navigation system link function has the following functions:

        Function Outline
        G Route Search Searches for the most suitable route to the destination based on information about wide-area traffic congestion prediction.
        Partial update of map database Partially updates map data in the navigation system by obtaining new road data or main POI data surrounding the current position or destinations from the G-BOOK center.
        Searching for POIs on the WEB Transfers POI information, which was searched for on the Mapbar site, to the navigation system. A found POI can be set as a destination or registered as a G-memory point.
        G-memory Point

        • When a POI is searched for using the contents of G-BOOK.com or a website, it can be registered as a G-memory point of the memory points in the navigation system.

        • By registering POIs as a G-memory point, a list of G-memory points can be displayed without connecting to the G-BOOK center.

    6. Other Function


      1. The G-BOOK system provides other functions in consideration of improving usability.

      2. The other function is as follows:
