Automatic Emergency Calls

If any airbag deploys, the system is
designed to automatically call the
ERA-GLONASS/EVAK control
center.

The answering operator

receives the vehicle’s location, the time
of the incident and the vehicle VIN,
and attempts to speak with the vehicle

ERA-GLONASS/EVAK

*1, 2, 3

The Emergency Call system is a
device installed on a vehicle to
determine its location and move-
ment direction (using GLONASS
[Global Navigation Satellite Sys-
tem] and GPS [Global Positioning
System] signals), and ensure the
generation and transmission of
vehicle information (in a nonadjust-
able form) in case of traffic acci-
dents or other incidents on motor
roads in the countries offering
emergency notification services. In
addition, it ensures two-way voice
communication between the vehi-
cle and an ERA-GLONASS/EVAK
system operator through cellular
networks (GSM).

Automatic Emergency Calls (via
Automatic Collision Notification)
and manual Emergency Calls (by
pressing the “SOS” button) can be
made to the
ERA-GLONASS/EVAK control
center.

This service is mandatory accord-
ing to the technical regulations of
the Customs Union.

occupants are unable to communicate,
the operator automatically treats the

Manual Emergency Calls

In the event of an emergency, press the
“SOS” button to call the
ERA-GLONASS/EVAK control
center.

The answering operator will

determine your vehicle’s location,
assess the situation, and dispatch the
necessary assistance required.

If you accidentally press the “SOS” button,
tell the operator that you are not experi-
encing an emergency.

: In some cases, the call cannot be made.

When the engine switch is turned to
IGNITION ON mode, the red indica-
tor light will illuminate for 10 seconds
and then the green indicator light will
illuminate, indicating that the system is
enabled. The indicator lights indicate
the following:



If the green indicator light illumi-
nates and stays on, the system is
enabled.



If the green indicator light flashes
twice per second, an automatic or

manual Emergency Call is being
made.



If no indicator lights illuminate, the
system is not enabled.



If the red indicator light illuminates
at any time other than immediately
after the engine switch is turned to
IGNITION ON mode, the system
may be malfunctioning or the
backup battery may be depleted.
Contact any authorized Lexus
retailer or Lexus authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer.



If the red indicator light blinks for
approximately 30 seconds during
an Emergency Call, the call has
been disconnected or the cellular
network signal is weak.

The backup battery has lifespan of at least
3 years.

A test mode is provided for to check
the performance of the Emergency
Call system. To test the device, contact
any authorized Lexus retailer or Lexus
authorized repairer, or any reliable

WARNING

■

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.

1-3. Emergency assistance

WARNING

●

Using the system while there is smoke

or an unusual smell may cause a fire.

Stop using the system immediately and

consult any authorized Lexus retailer

or Lexus authorized repairer, or any

reliable repairer.

NOTICE

■

To prevent damage

Do not pour any liquids onto the “SOS”

button panel, etc. and do not impact it.

■

If the “SOS” button panel, speaker or

microphone malfunctions during an

Emergency Call or manual mainte-

nance check

It may not be possible to make Emer-

gency Calls, confirm the system status, or

communicate with the

ERA-GLONASS/EVAK control center

operator. If any of the above equipment is

damaged, please consult any authorized

Lexus retailer, Lexus authorized repairer,

or any reliable repairer.
