can reject the schedule service? later they said warranty void?

Hello all,

I own a 1 month old A/T PE h-line. Sometimes in traffic jam or about to exit any junction, my engine will suddenly died off. This happens average once a day. I have brought back to the SC and they say didnt find any problem with my car.  Anyone know what is happening? 

- just wondering what other cars uses this "drive by wire" system?

- how come the AT doesn't have the "overdrive" button? is it bcoz there's a 3rd gear shift?

- 2 maintain the engine in top condition does it needs 2 be "warmed" up in the morning or can juz start the car & drive off straight away?

thanks! 

Does this apply to Myvi as well?

Wah this rim very nice.. Got 17" for it? 
Ur brake pads so fast can worn out, I think thats good bah, cos i feel sayang want to throw out my ori brake pads unused when i get the car, so at least im at peace now knowing how fast will it wear out. 
The best way to maintain engine is to
1) before turning off ur engine, dont rev the car, let it idle for a few seconds after stopping then turn off engine. (This is due to petrol have some lubricating properties and the engine oil would settle on the cylinder walls it will prevent your engine from unnecessary friction on your next start)
2) When doing a cold start (eg, in the morning), turn off ur aircon and blower first. Then only start the engine and dont rev right after starting as the engine incurs most of their wear and tear during startups and shutdowns. Turning off aircon and blower reduces load on the engine during initial start up, therefore minimizing wear.
3) Do not do high revs when the engine is cold as the engine oil hvnt reach its optimum viscosity yet. Therefore the oil film protecting the cylinder head and wall will be lesser than usual as the oil is slightly more thicker.
As for Drive-by-wire (DBW) cars, the throttle response is nvr as good as cable counterparts. I have a Sentra B14 and i can feel the difference of throttle response compared to Myvi, Persona and even the new Civic. However I have installed D1 Spec Throttle Controller in the Civic and i can feel great results. Definitely a worthwhile investment I would recommend those who wants faster response from their throttle. 

LOL.. My mom using the B14 sentra for 12yrs ald. Engine still almost as good as new, idling very smooth.. Very sayang the car as its still almost as good compared to Myvi, Persona, Vios etc.. And its a manual! 

Oh sorry bout the Myvi statement, I always felt the throttle was laggy.. Didnt get used to DBW as I have been driving cable system all this while (semua kereta lama) .. 

make sure u find a correct proton SC that allow u to bring own engine oil.. mayb the one that u always go to..
the one i went allowed me to bring own oil.. but when it comes to warranty, she said not to mention tht u used other oil. 
but make sure u trust the engine oil tht u bought.
i used semi sync Bardahl for my 1k service a week ago..  I suggest u to use Semi rather than Full. Semi can also be used for 8k-10k km.
Full synthetic is mostly for bigger engine like 1.8 n above.. n it is thicker n heavier compare to Semi.
for 1.6, u will feel abit heavier to rev if u use fully synth..
plus, fully is also used for those country that have winter season as the oil wont freeze up during winter n easy to warm the engine up.

I have used Bardahl semi 10W 40 once before @ 10K km oil change & I find that my car does not run as smoothly as when I am using Delphi semi 10W 40.  Did you buy  the Bardahl @ RM65-something?  Its contents is measured in quarts instead of litres.  I also feel Fully syn. is a waste of money on the Persona.  If you have a lot of $ or you can buy Fully syn. cheap, by all means, us it.  By the way, I have used my own lube all this time.

you also can get it from hyper market like tesco and carrefour, normally carrefour will have promotion for shell engine oil and tesco for mobil oil

you need to unlock your car first ( press the big button ) and then only press the small button ( or so called panic button ) on your key

It will only unlock, not raise. Not a Merc bro. 

after that, no more metal knocking sound when cornering on unflat road?

only unlock, wont raise up itself.

thanks! 

but would u have an idea why there's no "overdrive" button?  is "overdrive" considered old school tech?
