of emergency call cannot be transmitted or
received normally, the system does not
operate. In this case, directly arrange an
emergency vehicle or road service with a
cellular phone, etc.
255)If an emergency occurs and you feel a
smell of the fuel or a bad smell, do not stay
inside the vehicle and escape to a safe
place immediately.
256)While waiting for the rescue after the
emergency call, take action to prevent
secondary accidents such as a rear end
collision with the following vehicle, and
escape to a safe place.
257)In the following cases, directly arrange
an emergency vehicle or road service with
a cellular phone, etc. 1 - When the system
does not operate by failing because of
collision, etc. 2 - When the vehicle is in the
place where radio waves cannot be
transmitted and received (for example,
indoor, a basement parking area,
mountainous area, inside a tunnel, etc.). 3 -
When the line to the emergency call centre
is busy and the call is not reachable to the
emergency call centre.
258)Do not remove or install the above
parts. This can cause failure of contact or
equipment, and the system may not
operate normally.259)If the red lamp and/or the green lamp
