The most effective way to give warning when we did not wear the seat belt is by implementing buzzer sound instead of just warning display.
For me, just a display indication means nothing.

It's not a feature but a compulsory requirement by the Australian gov. Any cars going to Australia must have a seat belt indicator as part of the requirements of the RTA. It's not a feature of the car but rather implemented for export purposes. They most probably put Australia under Asia and all export models to Asia will come with the indicator.

nope, the heat mat absorbs engine heat, and release it out from the bonet....

First of all, it's not called a heat mat. It's an insulation mat. Secondly it does not absorb heat and release it out from the bonnet. It prevents heat transfer from the engine to the bonnet. It's an insulation mat and does not absorb any heat. It just deflects it back into the engine.

Doesn't that make the engine hotter (with the deflect back) and defeat the purpose? I always thought it is soundproof material. doh.gif

This is so that you can touch your bonnet without burning your fingers. The insulation mat prevents heat soak that happens after you stop driving. Heat from the engine will radiate towards the bonnet, making it almost as hot as the engine itself and of course damaging the paint in the long run too.

It also doubles as a soundproofing material but it's primary function is to ensure that the bonnet does not get too hot. The engine does not get hotter after you turn it off since it is only radiating left over heat from the metal parts of the engine.

thanks EX owners for your feedback!

any reason why EX was chosen instead of SX? hope i can learn more. maintenance, ya, 17inch tyre much more expensive around RM 500. EX i think around RM 300.

i also read that EX can accelerate much faster than SX. less pedal effort. is it true and very significant where SX feels heavy and no power to overtake?

now my concern is the tyre noise for SX. something like rolling barrel on the roads. i heard this from test drive car. 2nd time test didn't really hear it. like metal grinding noise. any SX owners experiencing this? since most buyers are SX variant, any issue to comfort when driving in PLUS for long like causing fatigue?

this is my only worried. tyre noise. i understand EX doesn't have such a noise. been looking for EX test drive car but cannot find. other than that, whether it'll be a bit more difficult to reverse with only 2 sensors for the EX. EX just with beep beep sound and no bar in the meter? i see that the 2 reverse sensors are located in the middle of the bumper. that means side ways cannot be detected not like the EX??

it's bcoz of the low profile 17'' tyres.. and depend on road conditions...nothing else...
change to michelin/yoko and ask gov to repave the road...then no noise..
