FUNCTION OF MAIN COMPONENTS
The main components in the ERA-GLONASS 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 |
|
|
| Red |
|
||
| DCM (Telematics Transceiver) |
|
||
| Mobilephone Battery (Back-up Battery) |
Is built into the DCM and supplies power to the DCM when the automatic emergency call service is activated and the vehicle battery cannot supply power. | ||
| Roof 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 DCM and receives signals from the call center. | |
| GNSS Antenna | Receives the signals from GNSS satellites and transmits these signals to the DCM. | ||
| Telephone Microphone Assembly | Receives the user's voice through the microphone module. | ||
| Airbag ECU Assembly | Sends an activation signal to the DCM when the airbags deploy. (An automatic emergency call service is made.) | ||
| Front No. 1 Speaker Assembly RH | Outputs the PSAP operator's voice. | ||
| Front No. 2 Speaker Assembly RH*2 | |||
| Radio Receiver Assembly | Receives the mute signal from the stereo component amplifier assembly*3 or DCM*4 and mutes the audio signal when the front No. 1 speaker assembly RH and front No. 2 speaker assembly RH*2 output the PSAP operators voice. | ||
| Stereo Component Amplifier Assembly*3 | Receives the mute signal from the DCM and transmits it to the radio receiver assembly. | ||
| Combination Meter Assembly | Sends the vehicle speed signal to the DCM and radio receiver assembly. | ||
*1: ERA-GLONASS is available in Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan.
*2: Models without stereo component amplifier assembly
*3: Models with stereo component amplifier assembly
*4: Models without stereo component amplifier assembly
FUNCTION
Automatic Emergency Call Service
If any of the airbags are deployed due to a serious collision, the DCM receives the deployment signal from the airbag ECU assembly. After receiving the deployment signal, the DCM 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 | - | - |
Manual Emergency Call Service
By pushing the manual (SOS) switch during an on-road emergency, the DCM 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.

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