ADR -Automatic Driver Recognition overview
2 driver cards are supplied with the system. The driver card should always
be carried separately from the car keys e.g. in your pocket, wallet or purse.
Honda Connex recognises you as the authorised driver by detecting your
unique driver card when you turn or push the ignition on to start the car.
If your car is driven without the driver card, vehicle tracking and recovery
procedure is started automatically. You will receive a theft alert on your
mobile phone and a call from the SOC – and if theft is confirmed, the SOC
will initiate stolen vehicle recovery (SVR) procedure on your car i.e.
liaising with the police and continuously updating it's location for them to
recover and return your car to you as quickly as possible.
Driver card
The driver card has to be switched on for it to work. To switch on, briefly
press the button on the driver card until the LED starts to blink.
To switch the driver card off to conserve the battery - for example if it is to
be stored and not used, press and hold the driver card button for around
8 seconds until the LED goes off.

WARNING
!
Never leave the driver card in the car.
The driver card should always be carried with you. If it is left in the car, the
ADR function is compromised and in case of a theft by stealing or duplicating
your car keys, the system will not be able to generate theft alerts.

Important
To reduce the risk of car theft, lost driver card should immediately be reported
to Connex Customer Service where the lost card will be excluded from the
system. You will need to purchase a new driver card to replace the lost one.
Driving the car
When you turn or press the ignition on to start the car, the ADR LED will
blink scanning for the presence of your unique driver card. As soon as your
driver card is detected, the ADR LED goes off.
The detection of your driver card should happen within 30 seconds to 1
minute. If it is still blinking after approximately 30 seconds, briefly press
the button on the driver card to switch the ADR LED off.
WARNING
!
If the car is driven with the ADR LED still blinking, vehicle tracking and
recovery procedure is automatically started and you will receive an SMS
theft alert followed by a call from the SOC.
i
Important
The driver card should not be left in the car as this will compromise the ADR
protection function. In case of valet parking or servicing at a service dealer,
keep the driver card with you.
Forced Unset mode
This mode allows you to drive the car without your driver card, without
generating theft alerts.
If you have forgotten to carry your driver card with you or if the car is to be
sent to a service centre for a service or if the driver card is not functioning
despite pressing the driver card button several times, i.e. the ADR LED
remains blinking, call the SOC to set the system to forced unset mode.
