Message from Honda Malaysia

We aim to create new values for our customers

Last year was a remarkable year for us at Honda Malaysia as we each invested our energy and resources to recover from the aftermath of the Thailand flood. Our people have carried forward the spirit of The Power of Dreams from our founder and strived to recapture our sales momentum after a long supply halt. Their efforts have been nothing short of inspiring as we managed to produce record results with several new model launches. The debut of the new Civic in July started an impressive upturn as we achieved an all-time sales record of 5,045 units in that month. It was also a successful year for our Hybrid line-up with the launch of the CR-Z CVT which helped us reach out to a broader market. Meanwhile, we became the first manufacturer in Malaysia to produce a Hybrid model with the Jazz Hybrid. Customers can soon expect a wider lineup of Hybrids as we continue to work closely with the government for Hybrid to take root in Malaysia. I believe our challenging spirit will help us continue our momentum into 2013 and beyond, as we aim to achieve a market share of 10% this year and 15% by 2017. In order to accomplish this objective, we will be expanding our dealership network to cater to a broader community. We are also targeting to complete our second production line at the Melaka factory so that we can double our production capacity.

by providing reliable and enjoyable products with good quality, on top of delivering excellent purchase and after-sales experiences.
At Honda, we aim to create new values for our customers by providing reliable and enjoyable products with good quality, on top of delivering excellent purchase and after-sales experiences. Time, Knowledge and Flexibility are the key words that represent our vital ingredients in increasing our efficiency to our customers. We are confident that our concerted efforts will help us reach and maintain our goal. 2013 will be a very important milestone for us at Honda Malaysia as we set out to achieve our vision of leading the industry. Please join us in pursuing our dream.

ncouraging Safer Driving

Held throughout last year, Hondas Safety Driving Courses allow owners to test the limits of their Honda in a safe and controlled environment.
Honda Malaysia has organised a total of eight Safety Driving Courses last year to further its commitment towards improving road safety. The driving courses, opened to all Honda customers, trained participants on both the theoretical and practical skills of safe driving in a Honda vehicle. The lessons, conducted by Honda trainers, gave participants a deeper understanding of the cars safety features such as the Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) and Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS), and also equipped them with practical tips on blind spots and blind area, tyre inspection and proper seating posture. Meanwhile, the hands-on approach by the trainers imparted techniques that help give drivers more confidence and better control of the car regardless of road conditions. The Safety Driving Courses not only reaches out to Honda owners to increase their awareness on road safety but it also benefits a non-owner to be equipped with the same skills as each Honda customer is allowed to bring a guest to attend the course. According to the instructors, the Reaction Course, in particular, would influence a noticeable change in driving behaviours because they get to push the limits of the car and fully experience how the safety features work. Honda Malaysia will continue to offer the Safety Driving Courses this year. Customers can look forward to grabbing a spot by logging on to www.honda.com.my/sales/honda_promotion for further updates.

Honda On Sustainability

ARE EARTH RECYCLING FOR Honda CARS

In an ongoing effort to pursue the recycling of precious resources, Honda established a way to recycle rare earth metals in used parts.
Honda Motor Co., Ltd, together with the Japan Metals & Chemicals Co., Ltd., has since April 2012 started a mass-production process of extracting rare earth metals used in various Honda products. The newly established process is the worlds first recycling operation in rare earth metals, extracting more than 80% of rare earth metals in used nickel-metal hydride batteries, with purity as high as that of newly mined and refined metals. Rare earth is used in various parts in Honda products and is more commonly found in the nickel-metal hydride batteries used in Honda hybrid vehicles. The process of extracting the rare earth metals is done at a recycling plant by applying a heat treatment to used nickel-metal hydride batteries in a disassembly process.

Every part is thoughtfully recycled for reusing, resulting in minimal wastage. The nickel-containing scrap is reused as a raw material of stainless steel while the extracted rare earth metals are reused not only for nickel-metal hydride batteries but also in a wide range of parts. Honda is currently researching ways to recover any residual voltage from the batteries to be reused as regenerative voltage during the disassembly process. This initiative is part of Hondas long-standing commitment to the 3R approach (reduce, reuse, recycle). With sustainable operations always top of mind, Honda will further increase recycling efforts and continue pursuing initiatives that will minimise its environmental footprint.

The IMA batteries are recovered from the vehicles before the modules are removed for recycling.

Gear hunting is also eliminated with Hondas unique Grade Logic Control that comes with the 5-speed automatic transmission.

TIME TO SOAR THROUGH HURDLES AND COMPETITION

As the company capped an impressive turnaround to achieve 7.7% market share in 2012, Honda dealers are convinced to march towards a grittier direction in 2013.
Honda Malaysia recently held its National Dealers Conference with representatives from all 60 dealerships nationwide attending the annual conference that aims to align the companys vision and reward the dealers for their performance last year.

Dealers Story

AISING THE BAR TOWARDS BETTER RESULTS

Tian Siang Auto (Manjung), who recently won Dealership of the Year, attributes its success to a highly committed team, firmly believing that when their people flourish, so will the business.
Tian Siang Auto trace its beginnings to 2001 when its founder Mr. Ooi Tian Huat, the Group Executive Chairman, decided to open a Honda dealership in Sitiawan, Perak, not just because he was an avid car enthusiast but because it made good business sense. The Honda brand has always had a strong presence and Honda Malaysia had just been established at that time. Mr. Ooi, ever the entrepreneur, saw the potential for growth. After 12 years of growing the company from strength to strength, Tian Siang Auto finally won Dealership Of The Year at the recent National Dealer Convention this year. We are indeed very honoured and proud to receive this prestigious award. We have a very dedicated and committed team who has worked diligently and of course we would like to also say a big Thank You to our customers for their continuous support, says Steven Tan, Managing Director of Tian Siang Auto. Indeed, the dealership owes much of its success to their highly skilled team and an enjoyable working environment. Steven added that they take great pride in their employees welfare by ensuring that they excel and are rewarded for their contribution. In addition to a monthly incentive scheme, we also pay out two bonuses per year based on the individual and companys overall performance. We also invest in them by taking care of their basic insurance needs and we regularly enjoy recreational activities like karaoke, birthday celebrations and badminton games, among others, he continues. Over the course of their business, Tian Siang Auto has built up a steady stream of loyal customers, many of whom returns to purchase another Honda for family members. One loyal customer, Mr. Keng Seng Leong, has been with them from the very beginning since buying his first Accord in 2003. He returns to get newer Accord models at each full model change and Steven is confident Mr. Keng will soon be coming back for a new one. As a company that place great emphasis on its customers and the community where they live and work, they host Customer Days and Open House on new model launches, in addition to the annual Auto Carnival that livens up the town with a range of activities like health talks, a blood donation drive, children colouring contests and lucky draws. Last year, more than 400 guests

The dealership is determined to continue delivering an efficient and effective service to their customers.

thronged the two-day carnival, with the blood donation drive attracting more than 80 donors from the community. According to Steven, customers will soon be greeted with an improved Customer Waiting Lounge enhanced with more comfortable sofas, a home theatre system and a Kids Corner. As part of their commitment to customers, the company hopes to continue to focus on raising the bar, especially in their level of service and professionalism in the Sales and AfterSales process. Steven reiterated that the ultimate goal remains in providing a more memorable and enjoyable dealership experience for customers and employees alike.

Honda Health Check

As you drive, your cars engine will inevitably pick up sludge from all the fuel combustion work. The engine oil will be stuck with unwanted particles like dirt and dust, which could shorten the engines life. Low quality oil filters are less efficient in trapping dirt and may cause oil to leak out due to less stringent controls on the tightening of the seal plates. The Honda Genuine Oil Filter is designed to work with your Honda to provide a better circulation of clean engine oil through its highly efficient parts: An anti-corrosive coated body. Relieve valve that adjusts the right amount of oil at all times. High performance element that catches particles effectively. Uses excellent heat and oil resistance parts that are also durable against low temperatures, like the drain-bag valve that protects the engine during startups and prevents oil flow reversal when you turn the engine off.

GENUINE OIL FILTER GIVES EXTENDED ENGINE PERFORMANCE

Protect your engine with a genuine oil filter because your engine deserves the very best.

Car Care

EEP COOL WITH BASIC AIR-CONDITIONING MAINTENANCE

Some basic home maintenance could help you prevent costly malfunctions and keep your air-conditioning running smoother, longer.

The weather in our country can get unpredictably hot sometimes and the last thing you want is to be stuffed in a car during rush hour because the air-conditioning broke down. Regular service maintenance at your authorised Honda Service Centre is important to keep it running properly. Being attentive to warning signs like leakage, noises or the temperature not being cold enough can also help you rectify the problem sooner with a professional technician before it breaks down completely. Just like you would keep your car clean daily, there are a few practical ways to keep your air-conditioning in top form. For example, did you know that driving at high speed with the air-conditioning in full blast will result in a lower temperature? Find out what other tips can help you care for your Hondas air-conditioning properly.

Tip #1:
Keep the interior clean. Dirt and dust will result in mould and spores. It may not be visible but it is certainly toxic, not just for your health but also your vehicle.

Tip #2:
Spray water on the air-conditioning condenser. It is okay to clean the condenser when you are washing your car. Simply open the hood and spray water on the unit located in front of the radiator to loosen any dirt that may corrode the condenser or cause leakage.

Tip #3:
Avoid too much hot sun. If you have an option, park at a shady lot instead of an open space which will cause the air-conditioning to work harder to cool the car.

Tip #4:
Do not smoke or use strong fragrances in the car. The nicotine from the smoke will evaporate into sticky, slimy fumes which you do not realise are causing damage to the air-conditioning. Also, fragrances that are plugged into the grill may also damage the grill.

Tip #5:
Start the engine with the air-conditioning turned off and keep it that way until the machine is stabilised. Likewise, turn it off first before you turn off the engine.

1. Stay calm

OW TO DEAL WITH AN ACCIDENT IN 7 EASY STEPS

A road accident is often unexpected and unforeseen, and could happen to anyone. In the event of an accident, avoid reacting in a panic by knowing the important steps of what needs to be done.

Staying calm will help you be in control of the situation.

If possible, exchange basic information with the other driver, such as name and phone numbers. Avoid argument, dispute or disagreement that will only escalate an already stressful situation.

2. Attend to injuries

Always attend to yourself first if you are injured, then determine the extent of the injuries of others involved and seek medical help if necessary. Call the ambulance if there are any injuries. Call the police if there are any casualties. If there are no injuries, proceed with the following steps.

5. Call HIP Road Assist

Contact Honda Insurance Package (HIP) Road Assist at

1800-18-1177 or 03-7660 2215 for assistance.

Do not commit to any settlement offered by a third party personnel who arrives at the scene of the accident.

3. Safety first

6. Lodge a police report

First of all, turn on the hazard lights to alert others of your presence. If there is no casualties and you are able to drive, pull over to the side of the road to avoid traffic build-up. However, if there is casualties, leave the car as it is till police and medical assistance arrives. For police investigation purposes, the vehicle must not be moved if there is casualties.

Drive or tow your vehicle to the nearest police station to lodge an official report within 24 hours of the accident. Obtain a copy of the police report and other investigation reports for the insurance accident claim process.

7. Back to Honda for repair

4. Gather information

Honda Authorised dealer and Honda panel insurance workshops will ensure your Honda vehicle acquires the highest quality of repair by qualified Honda technicians using Honda genuine parts.

Note down the registration number and model of any other vehicles involved in the accident. You can make full use of your smart phones camera feature to gather these information.
