ERA-GLONASS*E00804800050
ERA-GLONASS is a system designed to re- duce the severity of accidents. The location
and vehicle information is transmitted from
the system to the emergency call centre in
case of an accident or sudden illness, and the emergency call centre arranges for despatch
of emergency vehicles as required.WARNINGl In the country or area where there is no
available emergency call centre of theERA-GLONASS, or where the radio waveof the emergency call cannot be transmit-
ted or received normally, the system does
not operate. In this case, directly arrange
an emergency vehicle or road service with a cellular phone, etc.
l If an emergency occurs and you notice a
fuel smell or bad smell, do not stay inside the vehicle and escape to a safe place im-
mediately.
l While waiting for the rescue after the
emergency call, take action to prevent sec- ondary accidents such as a rear end colli-
sion with the following vehicle, and escape to a safe place.
l In the following cases, directly arrange an
emergency vehicle or road service with a
cellular phone, etc.
• When the system does not operate by
failing because of collision, etc.WARNING• When the vehicle is in a place where ra-
dio waves cannot be transmitted and
received. (for example, indoor, a base- ment parking area, mountainous area,
inside a tunnel, etc.)
• When the line to the emergency call
centre is occupied and the call cannot
be connected to the emergency call cen- tre.NOTEl This system reports to the emergency call
centre, but does not directly arrange anemergency vehicle or pass to the road serv-
ice.
l This system helps to maken an emergency
call for a traffic accident or sudden illness,
but does not have a function to protect the occupants.Flow of the emergency call
