Mazda ERA-GLONASS (Russia)
Mazda ERA-GLONASS
The Mazda ERA-GLONASS is available only in Russia.
When an emergency situation such as an accident or sudden illness occurs, the Mazda ERA-GLONASS dials the call centre automatically or the user can make a call to the call centre manually to enable a voice call.
The system operates automatically when the vehicle receives an impact of a certain level or more in a collision, or it can be operated manually using the Mazda ERA-GLONASS switch if an emergency situation arises such as sudden illness.
The call centre operator confirms the status via the voice call, confirms the vehicle's position information using the GPS/GLONASS*1, and calls the police or emergency services.
-
GPS/GLONASS, short for “Global Positioning System/Global Navigation Satellite System”, is a system that obtains the vehicle's current location by receiving radio waves emitted from the GPS/GLONASS (operated by the Russian Federation) satellites to the ground.

When using the Mazda ERA-GLONASS, keep medical devices such as an implanted heart pacemaker or defibrillator about 22 cm (8.7 in) or more away from the vehicle's aerial:
