Receives signals from GPS satellites and transmits these signals to the DCM (telematics transceiver). |
|
|
Telephone and GPS Antenna (for Front Side) |
Telephone Antenna (Sub) |
Receives signals from the service center. (Connect as sub) |
|
Certification ECU (Smart Key ECU Assembly) |
Receives the remote engine start signal from the user's smartphone or electrical key transmitter sub-assembly via the DCM (telematics transceiver) and initiates the engine start operation. |
|
|
Air Conditioning Amplifier Assembly |
|
|
|

Remote Information |
Vehicle Status Report |
Allows the vehicle status (doors open/closed, etc.) and vehicle information (distance traveled, etc.) to be checked from a remote location via a smartphone, after the ignition switch has been turned off. By updating the information, the latest vehicle status can be displayed.*1 |
|
Remote Notification |
Guest Driver Monitor |
|
|
Vehicle Status Alerts |
Sends a notification to the user if certain operations are not performed within a certain amount of time after the ignition switch is turned off, such as locking the doors, closing the windows, etc.*2,*4 |
|
|
Remote Operation |
Remote Engine Start and Stop |
|
|
Remote Door Lock and Unlock |
Allows the doors to be locked/unlocked from a remote location via a smartphone.*6 |
- *1: If the latest vehicle information has not been sent from the vehicle due to the condition of the vehicle (such as if the DCM [telematics transceiver] is outside of the cellular telephone reception area), the most recently received information will be displayed.
- *2: No notifications will be sent if the latest vehicle information has not been sent from the vehicle due to the condition of the vehicle (such as if the DCM [telematics transceiver] is outside of the cellular telephone reception area). Notifications may be delayed if the smartphone has poor reception.
- *3: Only one notification per set condition will be sent during a single trip.
- *4: If the smart key system has been canceled, vehicle status alerts notifications will not be sent to the user. If the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is inside the vehicle or detected as being "inside cabin", vehicle status alerts notifications will not be sent.
- *5: If the vehicle cannot receive the remote engine start signal due to the condition of the vehicle (such as if the DCM [telematics transceiver] is outside of the cellular telephone reception area), the engine will not be started remotely. Additionally, the remote engine stop operation signal may not be received depending on vehicle conditions.
- *6: If the vehicle cannot receive a door lock/unlock signal due to the condition of the vehicle (such as if the DCM [telematics transceiver] is outside of the cellular telephone reception area), the door lock or unlock operation will not be performed. After a door unlock operation is performed, if the doors are not opened within a certain amount of time, the doors will automatically be locked.
OUTLINE
(a) When a warning is generated due to a vehicle malfunction, the DCM (telematics transceiver) receives warning information from the combination meter assembly and sends a warning notification to the service center. The radio and display receiver assembly also receives the warning information sent by the combination meter assembly and displays a message in the multi-display according to the malfunction.

SERVICES FUNCTION
(a) Destination Assist Connect
- Downloads the user's desired destination information to the navigation function after the call center is told the destination.
- Stores the information downloaded in the navigation function so the information can be reused as required.
- Destination Assist Connect is an in-vehicle service that allows subscribers to request directions to any location. Subscribers are connected to an agent through the Destination Assist button and may ask the agent to download the location of any destination to the navigation function in the vehicle. Agents are able to locate specific Points Of Interest (POI's) by search terms, locate specific addresses, or provide Zagat-rated restaurants as premium POI's. Agents are able to search for POI's using the distance from the vehicle, from a city, or from another POI. The navigation function can store up to 5 POI's at a time, which can be added to the device queue as the first or last entry, or as a replacement for all entries.
(b) Dynamic Voice Recognition
By performing the voice recognition process with the server, natural talk input and other interactive voice operations besides the specified commands can be performed. In addition, by storing all of the user's utterances, the server will learn, and be able to perform voice recognition with greater accuracy.
