this is not intended as a performance mod rather a simple & cheap mod for eco driving style. it complements low rpm efficiency and will help you extend your kilometers. now you no need to pay a bomb for better FC.

yes it does have a manual key as answered before.
just to add for forte, you do not have to disconnect the battery, you can just open the fuse compartment inside the car (it is located at the driver side) and pull the save battery part (im not sure what it is called) but can read the the fuse compartment cap which one to pull. but im not sure for key usage will it affected, but surely your radio settings and clock is off.

i took off batt as well as main starter fuse so no one can curi hahaha! brows.gif

EHEM report day 3 - yesterday stuck in massive 1hr 10km jam at federal highway. Lucky with EHEM & using engine auto creep function I reached Angkasapuri with FC up from 6.1L/100 to 7.5L/100 only. Remember yesterday almost 1bar was 130km today reached office is 190km 2bar. Would had been better if wasn't stuck at FH for 1hr! But was still impressed at the results.

EHEM! Finally after 6 days only did refill... imagine i missed the petrol station! anyway results could had been better not to the few bad jams i got stuck in. Pumped at 50km DTE with meter at 577KM. 45L in with next DTE at 534KM only so DTE doesn't really match cause this was about the same DTE for the 1st tank. In the end it took 45L to reach 577KM = 12.8KM/L

The front doors can be opened while it's locked. If you're moving they will quickly lock themselves again, but the door is already a little bit open by then  blink.gif .

However, the rear doors will not unlock on their own. So just make sure children don't sit in the front seat.

Yes, I agree this a potential safety issue. I wonder how they missed this one.... rclxub.gif

they did not miss this one BMW also can open world wide rules are KIDS NOT SEATED IN FRONT! its a COMPOUNDABLE OFFENSE ! back in the 70s they saman you if they see kids infront... now they dare not as lots of kampung ppl fit 7 kids in 1 small car!

For the door opening, what I think they "missed" was the car would unlock even when the car is moving at 110km/h. They should have some safety feature there. The fact is that while moving the door will actual quickly lock back, but the problem is that the door is already a little opened before the lock kicks in (I know because I tried it on the highway sweat.gif)...so they need this safety feature against "experimenting engineer adults" like me  tongue.gif

Regarding rims, I think you can find a lot of second hand 15" at tyre/rims shops, a lot of them are quite new as the owners change them not long after getting new car....that's because a lot of people with thick 15" would upgrade to 16" or 17" for improved handling.

But for new 15" light sport rims, yeah it's a pain to find them.... rclxub.gif

Kia would be sued if someone wanted to escape a frontal accident at 110km trying to jump out but doors can't open.... think about that?

Does anybody know if the alignment of the car can be done in any tire shop for the MDPS? From what I can understand on the technology for MDPS, it would seem that there is a calibration required for the steering wheel system. Can't tell if its a one-off factory calibration or not.

I got this from a video on youtube (search under "MDPS Hyundai"). Also this video is a Hyundai MDPS video but I heard that Hyundai and Kia share a lot of technology. Anybody can comment?

MDPS need SC to calibrate... blink.gif

Bro KFC, this calibration and tire alignment are not connected right? I mean as in if I do normal tire alignment no need to worry about this calibration issue?
*
you can align outside if only your MDPS is 100% straight
if its tilted to one side when u align then under some conditions it will compensate hence your alignment will be out thereafter.

its designed to self steer under some dangerous conditions u can actually feel it during rain in high speed and hardcore driving.

basically it helps you steer to save your arse even if you didn't want it! doh.gif
