CAUTION
Do not disassemble the Mazda ERA-GLONASS. Otherwise, it could become damaged and

operate.
The built-in battery is not a rechargeable ty pe battery. Do not attempt to recharge the
battery.

that there is a problem, the Mazda ER A-GLONASS cannot be used. If the system
determines that there is a problem, the indicator light (red) in the Mazda ERA-GLONASS
switch turns on to notify the driver. Have the vehicle inspected at an Authorised Mazda
Repairer. Refer to Indicator light/Beep sound on page 7-10.
