When the Emergency Call may not
be made
●
It may not be possible to make Emer-
gency Calls in any of the following situ-
ations. In such cases, report to
emergency services provider (112 sys-
tem etc.) by other means such as
nearby public phones.
• Even when the vehicle is in the cellular
phone service area, it may be difficult
to connect to the
ERA-GLONASS/EVAK control
center if the reception is poor or the
line is busy. In such cases, even though
the system attempts to connect to the
ERA-GLONASS/EVAK control
center, you may not be able to connect
to the ERA-GLONASS/EVAK con-
trol center to make Emergency Calls
and contact emergency services.
• When the vehicle is out of the cellular
phone service area, the Emergency
Calls cannot be made.
• When any related equipment (such as
the “SOS” button panel, indicator
lights, microphone, speaker, DCM,
antenna, or any wires connecting the
equipment) is malfunctioning, dam-
aged or broken, the Emergency Call
cannot be made.
• During an Emergency Call, the system
makes repeated attempts to connect
to the ERA-GLONASS/EVAK con-
trol center. However, if it cannot con-
nect to the ERA-GLONASS/EVAK
control center due to poor radio wave
reception, the system may not be able
to connect to the cellular network and
the call may finish without connecting.
The red indicator light will blink for
approximately 30 seconds to indicate
this disconnection.
• This device may not function if a shock
is applied to it.
●
If the battery’s voltage decreases or
there is a disconnection, the system
may not be able to connect to the
ERA-GLONASS/EVAK control
center.
■
When the Emergency Call system is
replaced with a new one
The Emergency Call system should be
registered. Contact any authorized
Lexus retailer or Lexus authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer.

For your safety
●
Please drive safely.
The function of this system is to assist
you in making the Emergency Call in
case of accidents such as traffic acci-
dents or sudden medical emergencies,
and it does not protect the driver or
passengers in any way. Please drive
safely and fasten your seatbelts at all
times for your safety.
●
In case of an emergency, make lives
the top priority.
●
If you smell anything burning or other
unusual smells, leave the vehicle and
evacuate to a safe area immediately.
●
Since the system detects shocks, the
automatic reporting may not always
occur synchronized with the operation
of the airbag system. (If the vehicle is
struck from behind, etc.)
●
For safety, do not make the Emergency
Call while driving.
Making calls during driving may cause
mishandling of the steering wheel,
which may lead to unexpected acci-
dents.
Stop the vehicle and confirm the safety
of your surroundings before making
the Emergency Call.
●
When changing fuses, please use the
specified fuses. Using other fuses may
cause ignition or smoke in the circuit
and lead to a fire.
