Hey all.

Family owns the first generation Persona baseline model and planning to get the high line facelift end of this year. (was initially targeting the SE)

Few questions:
1. Can someone explain the cruise control to me? Like whether the speed will be constant when uphill and downhill, easy to use or not, and is there a special "screen/light" to indicate what speed you locked it at? (Audi has a light which will light up on the numbers on the speedo, effing cool!)

2. The GPS, easy to update? Or should I rely on my Nokia's OVI maps? (which hates KL roads laugh.gif )

Does anyone know any showroom around Puchong, PJ and Subang area which actually has a highline for test drive? The one opposite IOI mall takde. sad.gif

Thanks!

I own an SE. Cruise control really works great. I uses it everyday to and from my office. Once cruise control on, the car will try to maintain constant speed whether uphill or downhill. When uphill, if the car speed drops and feels underpower, the cruise control will make the car drop 1 gear and increase the engine rev higher to maintain same speed. once that happen, you will see the rev goes above 3k easily. slight hill accent is ok, but i don't recommend use to go uphill like genting. once on flat road back, it will shift up the gear again.

it is very easy to use. there's just a light to indicate the cruise control on - either speed set (green) or not (amber). speed you clock at is not shown. it's only in its memory. you will know when your needle stay put at a place. but its really easy to use. On -> reach desired speed -> set. Then you can pause (by stepping on the brake pedal or use the switch) -> control your pedal manually -> resume to speed set earlier (using the same switch)

Lol my brain fried at the last part.

What's the max and min speed ?

min speed for cruise control to work is 40kmph. max... not stated in the manual tongue.gif I tried 170kmph using cruise control on north south highway no problem. 180kmph, didn't think to try cruise control, just concentrating on the road.

Alright thanks for the info! Think those wondering about the cruise can refer to you for review.

Got adaptive cruise ar? haha I guess not right tongue.gif

what is adaptive cruise? i first time hearing it. mind to enlighten me abit?

It's sorta like the cruise system will detect the car in front of you, and will adjust to that speed so that you no need to brake and all during cruise driving.

Best part is, if you're set to 120km/h and the car in front is 90km/h, your car will automatically slow down to that speed. And when that slow poke is out of the way, your car will move back to 120km/h drool.gif

You can even choose the distant from the car in front.

dunno why my stock iafm m-line's steering vibrates harshly at 140km/hr.. any idea guys?

I think that's pretty common in local cars. Even my Wira vibrates quite a lot at high speeds.
As for the Persona, mine vibrates around 120... then when reach 130 it stops.

At least Proton did the wise thing by stopping production and rectify the problem before continuing. As long as everything's done by the end of this year or early next year cause they got one confirmed customer tongue.gif

Big blow to Proton. Just a month after the release? Let's hope the new Waja is good.

i tested once. Usually the indicator will turned on when the estimated fuel left is around 60 - 70km. I tried to drive around 30 - 40km more, the meter still showed that i got 40 - 50km left to travel, until suddenly the number turned "---" and started blinking. Then i panicked laugh.gif

But of course, u could dare drive your car till the ECU cut off your engine when almost out of fuel to calculate the mileage accurately  whistling.gif

I watched one episode of Top Gear where that three heroes had to drive to somewhere on one full tank.

Jeremy drove his until 0 km left also still can go for 10 kms blink.gif

To all Persona first generation owners:

For the aircond controller, the one that controls which vents you want the air to come out from.

When I put to the leg and normal vent, the normal vent like very weak but leg very strong.

So I have no choice but to use the normal vents only.

Any of you got that problem?

IF install, need to drill a hole on the rear wind screen right?

Which I don't think it's advisable. Unless the shop has 10000000000000% guaranteed good workmanship.

morning guys.

just need to check with all of you here.

when the rear bootlid and the front bonnet lid is opened, does the "Door open" indicator lights up?
*
When boot open yes, bonnet I'm not sure.

Anyone heard the alarm of the Persona before? Can wake up the whole of KL wei...

The first time I heard the alarm was when I was about to open the boot manually (plugging the key into the keyhole and opening), I looked up and saw the blinking light... then my mind went... "Crap..."

When parking your car, during turning the steering, do you guys facing some sound like a loud motor running sound when turning ur steering to the end? is that normal? those that installed VS, did u notice the turning the steering is smoother than before?
*
Motor sound or something like a hiss? Mine got the hissing sound when turned to full. BUT my Wira also got, my friend's Vios also got, City also got.

Maybe it's telling you that that's the maximum you can turn your wheel. *applicable for really strong people*
