JAKARTA - After introducing All New Honda CR-V, Honda continues to present the latest technology in the 2023 Gaikindo Indonesia International Auto Show (GIIAS).

Recently, Honda introduced the "Honda Connect" feature for the first time in Indonesia, with the All-New CR-V being the first model to carry this technology.

Honda Connect is a state-of-the-art connectivity technology that combines three main values: convenience, safety, and security. This allows Honda car owners to safely and comfortably use various features in this system.

Ferdianto Budianto, New Business Planning Senior Manager of PT Honda Prospect Motor (HPM), stated that this feature was introduced in the All New Honda CR-V to provide comfort for car users, by allowing a connection between the phone system and the vehicle.

"We hope this technology will make it easier for car owners to get information and services more quickly. We plan to present this advanced technology to various Honda models in the future," Budianto said in a statement on Tuesday, August 15.

Honda Connect has several advanced features that help users gain information about their vehicles through devices. This includes Vehicle Status, Automatic Collision Detection, Security Alarm, and Find My Car features.

Vehicle Status features allow users to access actual information about vehicle conditions such as fuel levels, battery status, and airbag conditions. The Remote Vehicle Control feature is also present, allowing users to control vehicle functions via device devices.

There is also an Automatic Collision Detection, which automatically sends notifications to the Call Center Support emergency service and user device when the vehicle has an accident that can trigger airbag development. This service will contact users and provide assistance as soon as possible.

The Security Alarm feature is useful when the vehicle experiences a disturbance that triggers vehicle alarms to sound, such as when the door is forcibly opened. This feature provides notifications about the condition of the vehicle to the user's device.

Furthermore, the Find My Car feature helps users find actual vehicle parking positions. The Geofence feature provides notifications when the vehicle enters or leaves the specified radius and location.

Not only that, there is an Emergency Call feature that allows users to contact Honda Customer Care and Experience Honda in an emergency situation. This allows Call Center Honda to call for immediate assistance.
