Honda Malaysia announced recently that its next generation advanced safety technology Honda Sensing will now be available in its most popular four-door vehicle, the revised Civic 1.5L Turbocharged.

This marks the fourth model in Honda Malaysia’s product line that is equipped with Honda Sensing, after the CR-V that was launched in July this year followed by the Odyssey and Accord.

The upgraded Civic 1.5L Turbocharged with Honda Sensing will carry the same premium features that are currently available, which include stylish LED headlights for both front and rear, seven-inch Advanced Display Audio unit with i-MID that is Apple CarPlay compatible and Android Auto ready, and Honda LaneWatch.

Available in the SUV, MPV and sedan models, the addition of the Sensing safety feature is also in line with Honda Malaysia’s strategy to offer more advanced technology in their products.

Malaysian car buyers who want to test this Civic can tap into a host of driver-assist safety features, which are Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Forward Collision Warning (FCW), Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS), Lane Keep Assist System (LKAS), Road Departure Mitigation (RDM) and Lane Departure Warning (LDW). These features provide alerts and assistance to drivers to avoid possible dangers or accidents on the road.

As part of the 10th generation Civic family, the 2020 Civic offers a class-leading interior volume that rivals many mid-sized cars, proof that driving an exciting performance car doesn’t have to come with the sacrifice of everyday practicality.

Front seat passengers enjoy generous amounts of leg and headroom and a cleverly designed centre console offers a surprising amount of flexible storage space.

Rear seat passengers are treated to excellent legroom and headroom as well, and the generous, mid-size-like cargo space – up to 15.1 cu. ft. in sedan and up to 12.1 cu. ft. in coupe – is supplemented by 60/40 split folding rear seatbacks to accommodate longer loads when necessary, with release handles for the seatbacks conveniently located in the trunk and the passenger compartment.

The Civic family is designed to achieve a 5-Star Overall Vehicle Score from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Top Safety Pick+ rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).

How to frustrate thieves who target keyless-entry carsDY Shin -

September 11, 2019 7:59 AM

Not many car manufacturers separate the locking system from the immobiliser, says vehicle security expert Alex Lye.

PETALING JAYA: A vehicle security expert has advised owners of keyless-entry cars to invest in a commercially available casing for their car keys to prevent hackers from stealing their vehicles.

The security systems of such cars could easily be bypassed with tools sold online, said Alex Lye, who heads the Asian chapter of the International Association of Auto Theft Investigation.

Speaking to FMT, he said motorists should carry their car keys inside an anti-radio frequency identification pouch, which is sold online for an average price of RM20.

The pouch essentially prevents the interception and copying of security codes.

Before keyless entry became an industry standard, car thieves needed to physically disable a car’s alarm system before gaining entry, either by breaking the window or picking the lock open.

According to Lye, they can now use a tool known as a “code grabber” to hack into a car’s security system through what is known as a “relay attack” without getting their hands dirty.

Code grabbers can be bought online for between RM500 and RM30,000, depending on their capabilities.

In a relay attack, a code grabber intercepts a car’s unique security code when it is transmitted between a vehicle and the car key remote fob.

All a thief would need to do is to be nearby when someone is locking his car and use the code grabber to intercept and copy the security code. This enables him to unlock the car door with just the push of a button.

“Since almost all the newer cars use keyless entry, I believe relay attacks will become more prevalent,” Lye said.

He said the pouch he was referring to was currently the only reliable way for a motorist to prevent his car from a relay attack.

Before the introduction of keyless-entry systems, cars used to have a security system that integrated a lock and an immobiliser. Even if a thief could gain entry into a car, he would still need to disable the immobiliser.

Lye said few car manufacturers were now separating the locking system and the immobiliser, and he urged the government to require them to do so.

“The keyless entry system should activate only the locking system, and the engine should start only in the presence of the immobiliser embedded in the physical key,” he said.

In July, police claimed to have busted a car theft syndicate in Penang that targeted keyless-entry cars.

If you are thinking of getting your first car, then this page will help you a lot. When my uncle bought his first car. He took it from Copilotsearch. He told me if you or any of your friends are interested in getting a new car. So I will get them a car from Copilotsearch at a good discount. These people give good discounts to their old customers.
