TELEMATICS SYSTEM


  1. FUNCTION OF MAIN COMPONENTS


    1. The main components in the ERA-GLONASS system have the following functions:

      Component Function
      Map Light Assembly Telephone Microphone Assembly Receives the user's voice through the microphone module.
      Manual (SOS) Switch When pressed, allows the driver to connect to and communicate with the PSAP as an emergency assistance button (SOS) service.
      Manual (SOS) Switch Indicator Green

      • Turns on when the system is operating normally within the service area.*1

      • Blinks during a call and turns off when the system is malfunctioning.
      Red

      • Illuminates to warn the user when a malfunction occurs in the system.

      • Turns off when the system is operating normally.
      Telematics Transceiver

      • Connects to the PSAP and allows the driver to speak with the call center operator when the automatic emergency call service or the manual emergency call service is active.

      • The cellular phone module makes or receives calls.

      • The telematics transceiver receives signals from the GNSS antenna, calculates the position of the vehicle and transmits it to the PSAP.

      • Controls the on/off and blinking actions of the manual (SOS) switch indicator.

      • Dims the manual (SOS) switch indicator when the taillight relay on signal is received.

      • Sends the PSAP operator's voice and voice prompts to the front No. 2 speaker assembly RH and front No. 3 speaker assembly RH*2, *3.

      Mobilephone Battery

      (Back-up Battery)

      		 Is built into the telematics transceiver and supplies power to the telematics transceiver when the automatic emergency call service is activated and the vehicle battery cannot supply power.
      Telephone Antenna Assembly Telephone Antenna Is for a cellular phone antenna which is compatible with the transmission and reception of frequency bands of cellular phones. It transmits signals from the telematics transceiver and receives signals from the call center.
      GNSS Antenna Receives the signals from GNSS satellites and transmits these signals to the telematics transceiver.
      Center Airbag Sensor Assembly Sends an activation signal to the telematics transceiver when the airbags deploy is detected. (An automatic emergency call service is made.)
      Front No. 2 Speaker Assembly RH Outputs the PSAP operator's voice.
      Front No. 3 Speaker Assembly RH*2, *3
      Radio and Display Receiver Assembly*4 Receives the mute signal from the stereo component amplifier assembly and mutes the audio signal when the front No. 2 speaker assembly RH and front No. 3 speaker assembly RH output the PSAP operators voice.
      Stereo Component Amplifier Assembly*3 Receives the mute signal from the telematics transceiver and transmits it to the radio and display receiver assembly.
      Combination Meter Assembly Sends the vehicle speed signal to the telematics transceiver and radio and display receiver assembly*4.

      *1: ERA-GLONASS is available in Russia.

      *2: Models with 9-speaker system

      *3: Models with 14-speaker system

      *4: Models with display audio system (including models with extension box)

  2. FUNCTION


    1. Automatic Emergency Call Service


      • If any of the airbags are deployed due to a serious collision, the telematics transceiver receives the deployment signal from the center airbag sensor assembly. After receiving the deployment signal, the telematics transceiver automatically makes an emergency call and transmits the vehicle location and user information to the PSAP closest to the vehicle.

      • The system is then automatically connected to a PSAP and the user can talk to a PSAP operator. The PSAP operator contacts the emergency services when the user is unable to answer.

        *c Ambulance - -

    2. Manual Emergency Call Service


      • By pushing the manual (SOS) switch during an on-road emergency, the telematics transceiver transmits the vehicle location and user information, and calls to the PSAP closest to the vehicle.

      • The PSAP operator determines the level of the emergency based on the vehicle location and from the conversation with the user, and contacts the emergency services if necessary.

  3. DIAGNOSIS


    1. If there is a malfunction in the system, the telematics transceiver stores Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) in its memory. For details, refer to the Repair Manual.
