Inspection

Inspecting Back-Up Battery

Back-up battery (BUB) embedded in the eCall system has a finite lifespan and using it for a long time may decrease its charging/discharging performance.

The back-up battery guarantees the operation of the eCall system when the vehicle battery cannot be used due to an accident. Be sure to inspect the back-up battery if the red LED turns on and replace it if necessary.

•	Warranty of Back-up Battery is 3years.

•	Inspect the back-up battery every three years and replace it if necessary. (Refer to Emergency Call Unit - "Repair Procedures")

•	The eCall system is aimed to place an urgent call to the call center during an emergency. Arbitrarily removing or operating the system components may affect the safety of people and may result in false notification of an accident to the emergency call center.

•	The red LED turns on when there is a problem with the eCall system.

•	If one or more DTCs for the eCall system are issued, check the eCall system(Unit, Button(Built in overhead console), Speaker, Antenna) by diagnostic tools.
