Just got my Persona Elegance H-Line Bronze Garnet. =) Quit happy with it, but some parts feel more plasticky/hollow than Saga BLM.

It happens sometimes when I press the brake lightly while the car is moving.

It's just those brake squeek/ringing sound you usually hear on some cars. What could be the cause of it? hmm, will get it rectified during the 1k service. Now done 200km++

To use the trunk boot release you need to unlock the car den only press the other button on your key. If the car is still locked, the other button functions as panic button which sets off the alarm.

My braking squeeking sound has been lesser and lesser lately. Maybe it's just because of new brake pads and I have to let in run in a little? My rear power window not that smooth compared to the other windows, but don't have the klok klok klok sound la.

I feel that the brakes of Proton cars don't bite so well. I wanna change too! But wait till got money 1st.

EDIT: Oh btw, my new PE comes with those QC stickers still on it. I wanna remove it but the adhesive part+some paper still remains. How do I get rid of it? Using eraser? lol.

I waited about a week or two before removing the stickers. At that point, peeling them off was soooooo easy. smile.gif

I scare the sun will make them dry and harder to remove. Gonna try with WD-40. Heard that it's very effective.

The extreme UV sun rays that we get in Malaysia or for that matter, this region, is not only bad for Proton cars but all cars.  I owned a Nissan prior to the current Persona & believe me, the effects of the sun on a car using imported components is just as bad. Plastic parts of my old Nissan would deform, grey colours turn whitish,  black steering column switches turns whitish.  Unless your window glasses are super dark tinted, your interior trim parts will deteriorate if exposed to prolonged sun rays.  Alternatively, park you car in-doors or under the shade.  Pointless to complain about defects if you do not take all the necessary precautions. There is always a price to pay to ensure that you car looks good.  Try to park in-doors at all times.
*
Come on la, if the interior deteriorate because of long term exposure under the sun I understand. But just after a couple of hours? I beg to differ. I did try to park in shade if I can, but I can't always do that right? It was the first time I parked my Persona under direct sunlight and the defects come out immediately. Surely not my fault isn't it?

most properly the ICM Relay is faulty. Send to SC for claim. Mine still in waiting stage.
*
So I just go tell the SC got that sound and ask them change ICM Relay? What exactly does the ICM relay do anyway?

hmmm...quite a lot of people complain about eeeeee sound and ICM relay faulty...are you guys referring to the new persona elegance?

the eeeee sound seems like me '99 Wira...sound comes out from the centre air-con vent...is this sound coming out from the same place for persona?  if yes, then after more than 10yrs nothing seems to be rectified...come on proton! shakehead.gif
*
The eeee sound is very faint for me. It's like the Ju-on female ghost throat sound, but much fainter and softer. I could only hear it after I turn off the car and concentrate. But it will go off after some time.

it happen when u turn on the car power and all the way when u drive ur car, once u turn off ur car, the sound still remain there for 5-10 minutes, then it gone. this caused by the ICM Relay faulty.

Yup. And I wouldn't have noticed it if I didn't read this thread. Lol.

Now my proton Safetint is having some bubbles. -.-

Ask them quote a reasonable tint let say RM 400~ RM 500/=..Once confirm the price then only show them the voucher....
(Not sure  will this work or not) hehehehe

Then they'll say "Oh sorry, I just now misquoted. Actually need add RM300 more."

Lol.

sure.. i did my car also 400... normal price 680, if used voucher 150, still need to pay 530.. luckily i say i get voucher from other tint company, then igot discount from them and need to pay 400 only...
*
The thing about my voucher is that it's kinda ambiguous. The main part says that the leaflet contains RM150 voucher but the voucher itself that can tear off says RM300. -.-

Check the paint jobs of the exterior and interior. See if everything is fitted correctly and not loose. Check the power windows too. Be sure to check under good light conditions.
