IGNITION SWITCH EXPRESSIONS
The type of ignition switch used on this model differs according to the specifications of the vehicles. The expressions listed in the table below are used in this section.
| Expression | Ignition Switch
(Position) |
Engine Switch
(Condition) |
|---|---|---|
| Ignition Switch off | LOCK | Off (Lock) |
| Ignition Switch ACC | ACC | On (ACC) |
| Ignition Switch ON | ON | On (IG) |

PRECAUTION FOR DISCONNECTING CABLE FROM NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL
After turning the ignition switch off, waiting time may be required before disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal.
When disconnecting and reconnecting the battery.
When disconnecting and reconnecting the battery, there is an automatic learning function that completes learning when the respective system is used.
COMMUNICATION FUNCTION PAUSING
Before performing inspections or repairs which may cause warning messages to be displayed or DTCs to be stored, such as a simulation test or road test, it is necessary to enter communication function pausing mode so that unnecessary warning messages are not sent to the service center.
After completing maintenance work, be sure to cancel the communication function pausing mode.
Communication function pausing mode will automatically be canceled 12 hours after entering communication function pausing mode.
Communication function pausing mode
Enter communication function pausing mode (Using the GTS)
Turn the ignition switch off.
Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
Turn the ignition switch to ON.
Turn the GTS on.
Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Telematics
STRICT PROHIBITION OF MANUAL EMERGENCY CALL USING EMERGENCY CALL SERVICE
Do not make an emergency call when not in emergency situations. For inspections, use the manual maintenance check.
If the emergency call service is used to connect to the service center when not in an emergency situation, an unnecessary workload will be generated at the service center. This may cause a delayed response by the service center to other emergency calls.
If emergency vehicles are dispatched due to an accidental operation of the manual (SOS) switch, you may be charged or punished according to related laws.
If the manual (SOS) switch is accidentally operated;
If the manual (SOS) switch is accidentally operated, contact the service center to tell them that the call was made by mistake.
An emergency call cannot be halted or finished from the vehicle. Only the service center can halt or finish the call.
If the service center cannot be informed that the call was made by mistake, the center will report to authorities, emergency facilities and dealerships in compliance with its agreements. As a result, emergency vehicles may be dispatched.
PRECAUTION FOR TELEMATICS SYSTEM
When replacing the telematics transceiver, make sure to replace it with a new one.
If replacing any of the following parts, refer to Initialization of Repair Instruction.
Telematics transceiver
Mobilephone battery
INSPECTION PROCEDURE FOR TELEMATICS TRANSCEIVER (DATA COMMUNICATION MODULE [DCM])
The telematics transceiver uses a LTE (Long Term Evolution) and UMTS type radio wave signals. The radio wave signals and communication lines may occasionally be unstable depending on time or location factors. Therefore, network access errors may occur intermittently because of radio wave signal conditions. To determine if there is a problem, it may be necessary to make a judgment based on the frequency of the phenomenon or by making a comparison with a comparable type of cell phone.
With the exception of replacing the mobilephone battery, the telematics transceiver cannot be disassembled (the telematics transceiver case must not be opened). Replace parts.
PRECAUTIONS FOR EMERGENCY CALL SERVICE
The telematics transceiver functions as the emergency call service device and has the IMEI and ICCID.
IF AN EMERGENCY CALL CANNOT BE MADE
The emergency call service may not be available, or its quality may deteriorate in the following cases. (For details, refer to the terms of service and operation manual for the device.)
| Cause | Details |
|---|---|
| Communication is interrupted due to the network used for the emergency call system.* | ·
The registered vehicle is located outside the cellular phone service area used for the emergency call system. ·
The vehicle is overseas. ·
The vehicle is in a cellular phone service area where communication is not possible, such as an indoor environment, a basement parking area, mountains, tunnels or beside a building. ·
Network availability or the time of use is limited, such as when cellular phone networks or public fixed networks (including junction networks) are extremely busy. ·
Network availability is limited by the communication service provider due to a large-scale disaster. ·
The cellular phone network or public fixed network (including junction networks) service used for the emergency call system is suspended or halted due to accidents, maintenance or construction. |
| The service center system cannot determine the vehicle location. | ·
The vehicle is in an area where the Global Positioning System (GPS) radio waves cannot be received or where it is difficult for radio waves to penetrate, such as an indoor environment, a basement parking area, mountains, tunnels or beside a building. ·
The vehicle location cannot be determined normally or accurately because the vehicle is in the following areas: -
Areas that cause a large error of the location calculation using the GPS, such as in tunnels or a densely built-up area, or after getting off a ferry. -
Areas that cause a large error in map matching due to an old map database. ·
The GPS is malfunctioning. |
| Others | Although a manual call is made, the situation cannot be confirmed because the user cannot respond to questions from the service center. |
*: Even when the vehicle is within the cellular phone service area, it may be difficult to make emergency or phone calls due to radio wave signal conditions or busy lines. In this case, it may not be possible to access the service center. As a result, no calls can be made to ask for rescue in the event of a traffic accident. If emergency calls cannot be made, use a landline telephone or cellular phone.
PRECAUTION FOR MOBILEPHONE BATTERY
The mobilephone battery is a Lithium-ion type battery and can be charged from the telematics transceiver.
When ACN (Automatic Collision Notification) is performed, the mobilephone battery provides power to the telematics transceiver.
The mobilephone battery must not be replaced while an ACN call is in progress.
When a Manual Emergency Call is made, the mobilephone battery is not used as the power source.
When it is time to replace the mobilephone battery, the manual (SOS) switch red indicator will come on.
The telematics transceiver will also store a DTC or specific vehicle control history (RoB) code.
WHEN AUTOMATIC COLLISION NOTIFICATION HAS ACTIVATED
Perform "ACN CALL END" with the GTS to terminate ACN (Automatic Collision Notification) with the call center.
