hi abang abang sekalian, upcoming newbie vios owner here. getting my G limited in another 2 weeks time.

wanna survey for window tint to plan my expenditure when i get my car. any suggestion? heard solar film & v kool (obviously & expensive) are good.

any specs that i need to look out for? heat reduction & smart tag/gps signal friendly too. thanks!

wow expensive ! i dont think i have that much budget to go for V kool. Dried up after buying car sad.gif

btw any of you can let me know how the immobilizer in the alarm system works? does this mean the car cannot be started if the alarm was not disarmed?

Popopi, isn't it the brand new car need to go for 1000km before you can go high speed? Why you so fast go until 170km/h already one?

i think my bro Vios also having the same issue, but his only happens in the afternoon.. after a few time complaining to the SC he got it solved... i think what they told them is that a screw is gotten loose in the dashboard...
now no more issue with it
hmm my new Vios J comes with a 185 profile... i wonder how that's gonna fair? my previous Vios is on 195.... wonder if i should change it to 195 or just stay with 185 until it wears out...

yup... kinda hard to teach the left leg to stay quiet biggrin.gif
yup.. it should start to lock at certain speed...
was thinking about getting the G-limited but as you said.. they so far only have fibre type... so maybe go with the mainstream and get the Sportivo instead.. biggrin.gif
today going to survey some shop again...
thumbup.gif at first i also think the same but it looks a bit bulky with the G-limited body kit.. biggrin.gif
so still pondering and thinking on which to get..

vmad.gif NO!!! dont tell me that the improvement model they removed the auto-lock!! i think thats a really nice features for Vios... i really like it alot... cry.gif
so is there anyway to have the features back on? i never knew about the removing of the autolock... will see what my SA know about this because he never informed me abt it and its not listed in the improvement catalog... or is it? hmmm

kuman

my G Limited is older version... autolock still available. moving around 5~7km/h will lock the door for my case thumbup.gif

Congrats Kuman for the new Vios. thumbup.gif

Here comes a question
This is my 3rd tank of petrol.

Something want to ask.. about the fuel indicator.
8bars.... top till full is at 8...

so i driving for quite some km... and the bar dropping nicely.
question is... when hitting 2 bar left ....
drive drive abit.. just jump to 1 bar left.. and it started blinking... OMG!!!

so go fuel up.. and found out that only 36liter pump in. so if the 42liter tank is accurate.. i should have 6 liter left..

Question 1:-
Is it normal that when it hit 1 bar... the bar will start blinking??? or should stay at 1 bar for some km before start blinking?

Question 2:-
Does the Vios have a empty fuel indicator/light? is like when u low on fuel there will be a fuel light showing on the dash. (i mean other then the blinking bar)

Question 3:-
Where to get the user manual of toyota Vios. it is not provided by toyota. mad.gif

Please advice.
