Don't Panic, Here's a Guide to Overcoming The Answer Back System Yamaha Does Not Make a Sound

 The latest motorcycles are equipped with advanced safety features. One of them is the keyless feature, a motor key system without a key. 

On two wheels, this device is also equipped with an Answer Back System whose function makes it easier for owners to find motorcycles when in the parking lot.

Especially in Yamaha products, Answer Back System there are 2 settings, namely 'beep' with sound and blink of sein lights, and 'silence' without sound (only sein lights). Then, what if the remote is pressed Answer Back System actually does not make a sound?

Because of ignorance some owners immediately punish if the remote or motor is damaged. From now on do not panic let alone directly come to the workshop, you can arrange it independently at home.

According to Senior Technical Advisor of PT Yamaha Indonesia Motor Manufacturing (YIMM), Slamet Kasianom, there is no sound when the remote is pressed just because the Answer Back System setting changes.

"Actually, it is not broken, but the Answer Back System settings have changed. Simply squeezed on the remote or for keyless presses on the contact button near the deck," Slamet said, not long ago.

Yamaha's Answer Back System Set Guide

To make it easier, we try to help summarize from Slamet's explanation as below.

• First approach your remote key with a motorcycle at least 60 centimeters away.
• Then, if the motorcycle is in a handlebar locked position, move it to a free position (unlocked and the instrument panel is not on).
• Then press the contact return button for about 2 seconds until it says 'click'.
• If you have pressed the lock lock again for a while until the motorcycle reads 'beep' once.
• Finally, check if the 'beep' sound is active. How to press the button on the remote, if the sound of 'beep' is heard followed by the blink of the lamp sein means the Answer Back System setting is already in a sounding position.
  

Tips for Caring for Keyless to Stay

Behind the sophistication and practicality of keyless keys on the motor there are several things that must be considered. The main thing is the condition of the battery in the remote and how to store components so that they are not damaged quickly let alone lost.

If lost, the process of making keyless requires time and cost is not small. Therefore, the most correct way is to know the mechanism of use and keyless maintenance in the motor.

Yamaha Indonesia tries to provide 8 tips on caring for keyless on the bike. Let's go ahead and do it from now on.

• Avoid pressing the knob forcefully if the smart key is not near the motor. Make sure to operate the knob instead of the ignition normally preventing mechanical damage to the knob. In addition, considering the motor can only turn on if there is a remote, then make sure the remote is always near the motor when pressing the knob.
• Make sure the remote doesn't fall off and is always dry. Remote as a signaler, even though it is equipped with an anti-water seal, make sure the remote is always dry from the water before it is turned on to prevent damage due to short circuits.
• Avoid electromagnetic radiation. Avoid the habit of placing credits around objects with high electromagnetic radiation, such as mobile phones, televisions, signal transmitters, and the like. This has the potential to disrupt the signal on the remote SKS.
• Always make sure you have pressed the off button on the remote after turning off the motorcycle. If the remote is not off or still on after the motor dies, the signal from the remote will continue to radiate thus draining the remote battery.
• Always check the remote battery. If the radius of the remote with the motorcycle is too short when used then it is advisable to immediately replace the battery on the remote.
• Make sure to always remember or save the pin number of the smart key. This makes it easier for consumers to inform the dealer in case of a key loss.
• Avoid storing remotes in the trunk of the motor or racks on the motor. This is so as not to be left behind or lost. If you lose the key, the consumer will have to replace the smart unit, SGCU, and remote control.
• Always check the cleanliness of sockets and cable lines on the smart unit as a signal receiver to avoid shorting. Motorcycle maintenance with the Smart Key System (SKS) feature is quite easy, because it starts from the discipline of the rider himself.

Confirmed, Toyota Will Soon Produce Kijang Innova Hybrid This Year

 The puzzle of Toyota's first electric vehicle product produced in Indonesia was answered already. 

After Industry Minister Agus Gumiwang Kartasasmita announced Toyota's plans during President Joko Widodo's visit to toyota factory in Karawang, West Java, Tuesday (2/15/2022). This is a ceremony to achieve the export production of 2 million units and the first shipment to Australia.

Agus revealed, Toyota has planned to show its commitment in producing electrified vehicles. It started with the production of Kijang Innova Hybrid.

Confirmed, Toyota Will Soon Produce Kijang Innova Hybrid This Year

"Toyota is also committed to the production of electrification vehicles starting with the production of Kijang Hybrid and we will continue to support and encourage the acceleration of electrification or electric vehicles," Agus said in his speech.

The production plan for electric vehicles was actually revealed some time ago. Toyota considers hybrid technology to be in the category of electric vehicles or electrification. This understanding is different from most people who think electric vehicles are vehicles with pure electric power and drive and batteries.

The production plan for electric vehicles was actually revealed some time ago. Toyota considers hybrid technology to be in the category of electric vehicles or electrification. This understanding is different from most people who think electric vehicles are vehicles with pure electric power and drive and batteries.

The locally produced electric vehicle plan has also been stated by Toyota at the end of 2021. At that time Marketing Director of PT Toyota Astra Motor (TAM) Anton Jimmy Suwandi confirmed that in the future there will be new technology that slides in Indonesia. Including electrification models.

"We are committed in 2022 there will be a hybrid local production product. The hope is to provide prices and products that are more suitable for the people of Indonesia, this is a product that we excel, in the future increase electrification products and CO2 emissions in Indonesia," Anton said in a press conference at the end of 2021.

This plan was also revealed by Director of Administration, Corporate, and External Relations of PT Toyota Motor Manufacturing Indonesia (TMMIN) Bob Azzam who revealed that this electric vehicle model will definitely be produced in Indonesia. But at that time Toyota was still closing what models were likely to get electrification technology.

"So there are two alternatives, making a completely new product or making a hybrid car product from models that already exist in the market. So we in 2022 will start the production of electric cars that are hybrid. If we consider the existing automotive industry, we are more hybrid models that already exist. So that we can keep the supply chain there, new technology we can adopt. Especially if the model has been accepted in the export market, so at the same time for domestic and export. You can guess which model," Bob said at the time.

At that time the guess was already narrowed to the MPV models that were already present. Among the guesses are Veloz models produced at Toyota and Innova factories.

"So this electrification is indeed we have prepared hybrdi models we hope can be received well in Indonesia," said Bob.

Toyota currently offers several models with hybrid technology. Call it the Corolla Cross Hybrid, Camry Hybrid, Corolla Altis Hybrid, and C-HR Hybrid. Under the Lexus brand there is a pure electric car that is UX 300 e which was introduced in 2021.

"The average CBU electrification product, both Toyota and Lexus are from Thailand, Japan. But in the future we have committed to make environmentally friendly products more affordable. In 2022, CKD localization for electrification products as well. Hopefully this is a win win solution consumers can also get products that are more in accordance with the needs of the people of Indonesia. Hopefully the price is more affordable, "said Bob.

Actually, the leak of Toyota's plan from the Minister of Industry is not the first time echoed. Last year, the Minister of Industry also sent a signal in his presentation material that Toyota will present the Kijang Hybrid in 2022. Although many information is more interested in the possibility of Veloz becoming a hybrid considering the price that will be offered later is still below Rp500 million. If Innova added Hybrid technology there is a possibility of the price at Rp500 million although again see what hybrid technology will be embedded in the legendary MPV.

This is an important question because basically providing hybrid technology will certainly change the platform used by a product. Maybe the movers are changing. Since the beginning of Innova using rear drive, the possibility of adding a hybrid battery can turn it into a front drive aka FWD.

Even with the engine. When looking at products that currently use hybrids there is likely to be the same engine from the Camry, Prius, Corolla Cross or C-HR. It could be a 1,500 cc M15A-FXE engine, a 1,800 cc 2ZR-FXE engine, a 2,000 cc M20A-FXS engine, or a 2,500 cc A25A-FXS engine. Of course, the application of this technology can not just paste to ensure maximum use. This hybrid option is also likely to leave the ladder frame chassis that has been used by Innova.

Of course, the community is waiting for this latest Kijang Innova Hybrid product with hope, still affordable and still provides the advantages provided by Innova so far. This affordable problem certainly returns to their respective funds, is it with standards at Rp500 million, this Hybrid Innova is still interesting to look at? Or for early adopters, any price doesn't matter? Of course we will pay attention some time in the future related to the emergence of Toyota's latest hybrid MPV.

FIM, Dorna and ITDC Agree to Improve Pertamina Mandalika International Circuit Track

 After the MotoGP preseason test at Pertamina Mandalika International Circuit, Indonesia Tourism Development or Indonesia Tourism Development Corporation (ITDC) preparing to meet the race schedule next month.

 But after three days of testing, it still has some homework. One of them is resurfacing asphalt in some spots.

Pertamina Mandalika International Circuit

Last week's official test gave the organisation and regulatory bodies the opportunity to ensure the venue complied with MotoGP standards. And assess any necessary improvements before the track's debut on the FIM MotoGP World Championship calendar begins.

Feedback from riders and teams regarding the track layout and safety standards, including large areas of runoff on both asphalt and gravel, has been overwhelmingly positive. During testing, two areas of improvement were identified, namely the cleanliness of the track surface and the excess aggregates affecting parts of the circuit.

Dorna also delivered the results of his review after pre-season tests yesterday. They say there are some things that need to be perfected before MotoGP round two starts. One of them is the condition of the asphalt at turn 1 and turn 17.

The FIM, which oversees track homologation, has been in contact with the Indonesia Tourism Development Corporation (ITDC) regarding these necessary improvements. The circuit owner, ITDC has also approved the assessment and request of the FIM. It shows their high level of support and commitment to the sport. All parties have reacted quickly and efforts to repair this are already underway, including partial re-paving of the track.

Pertamina Mandalika International Circuit

Then from the results of the deal, ITDC and MGPA took steps to resurface asphalt. This will be completed with the circuit building contractor, PT. PP (Persero) before the Indonesian MotoGP or Pertamina Grand Prix of Indonesia is held on March 18-20, 2022.

The circuit will be re-coated in some spots. Especially before turn 17 until after turn 5. It is also ensured to use state-of-the-art world-level technology to ensure the entire surface meets MotoGP standards.

The FIM and Dorna also thanked ITDC for their overwhelming support and quick reaction. All parties also want to assure MotoGP fans in Indonesia, and everyone around the world, that Pertamina Grand Prix Indonesia 2022 is ready to take place on the planned date. And MotoGP is very much looking forward to returning to Lombok.

For information, Mandalika held a pre-season MotoGP trial on February 11-13. On the first day of implementation turned out to be tinged with dirty track drama. Dust entered the track after heavy rain the day before, plus drizzle in the morning. The session was stopped for officers to clean it up. However, his condition did not improve significantly.

But the dirtyness of the track is not the most worrying problem. The riders are actually anxious about asphalt that is easily peeled off, even to create gravel. Not a few riders are hit by rocks on their motorcycles, helmets, and bodies. Many drivers also complained about the bad asphalt of Sector 1 and Sector 4.

Although on the official account of the team or the driver no one conveyed directly. But some outside media wrote how the riders complained about Mandalika's actual condition. They even call this new circuit unfit for racing even tends to be dangerous for riders.

Other riders were also angry because they had to help clean the gravel on the track. He said the business of cleaning the track was not the driver's job.
