I've done my first service, I was told that the first service is just inspection, just normal inspection. I asked whether got check alignment or balancing because recently I hit a pothole, he said need to add money rclxub.gif .

He also recommend me pedal lock (locktech) and autolock (lock when brake is press only), damage is RM580 (Locktech) + RM220 (Autolock) = RM800. Both also need wiring, as he told me this is done by Honda and warranty is 1 year.

He also advice me to fold the side mirror whenever possible when parking, make it a practice, he say the side mirror easy to spoilt and sensitive, not sure how true is it but no harm to fold it whenever possible.

Service at 3S Honda USJ.

I also bought there ma ... near my house. Service can be done at any other location.

QUOTE(westlife @ May 7 2011, 04:06 PM)
first service no need to do alignment la, wait til 10k service then do man.

our car comes with power mirror, folding is just a simple press of the button. not difficult rite?
actually the purpose of folding the mirror is not meant to avoid hit by car, but it is to avoid hit by the pedestrians man. a lot of them walked passed ur car, can just hit the mirror rough.
*
Yup. I didn't do the alignment, if FOC can la...but nothing is FOC. sad.gif

I did it myself, bought the 3M dinoc from LYN forummer.  This part always get scratch easily by our own shoes as we gett in and out of the car. I guess for the seat belt B pillar area, have to use similar scratch prevention trick too. Not sure wanna do it or not coz the whole car gonna be carbon-fied.  rclxub.gif

Good Good, thanks for sharing ~ U got help ppl do or anyone to do? wanna outsource le, no time to DIY.

Hi guys,

does anyone know how to reset the odometer (mileage) . I pressed the round tip on the driver side dashboard but nothing happens wan...

i wana reset so i know how much i travel each time after i fill up petrol.

Thanks guys.

Cheers!

The first time you press the round trip, you will see Trip A, press second time Trip B, the main one should be the one without Trip A or Trip B wording. To reset, hold and press until the value zerorised. Tada ~

Sorry bro, wat u mean by this :

"I've tried it ... getting 16.1 km/l. Still got 193 KM ... maybe can hit 17 km/l. "

means u'll be able to know how much km u can go summore?

sorry ya..real noob with an insight  smile.gif
*
I mean I pump full tank, reset trip A and now trip A showing 428KM (forgotten, around that) indicator showing 16.1 km/l and still got 193KM left to go. I drive 80% city and 20% highway with Econ mode on all the time.

Yes, there is an indicator. I think it is not so accurate ... hmm.gif

You just got your car? Your SA didn't do his/her job to intro you the features in the car?

Mostly everytime you step the brake and yes even 1 meter, however, sometimes it don't. Doesn't really know exact criteria when it will shutdown, all is computerised.

i notice
During raining day, when i have auto headlamp on, and auto wiper on, the engine will fire up very soon.

I believe when the hybird battery is potentially low, and the wiper uses a lot of it, the engine will fire up.
just my 2 cents
*
make sense ... now I recalled that when rain it doesn't autostop so often but not sure the wiper or headlamp uses the IMA battery? or the normal car battery in front.

Sent my car to USJ Car Express for the 1st service. Monday morning the place seems busy and hectic.
Appointment made last Friday and was given the 9.45am slot, I was there right on time. Get my queue number and waited merely about 5min, was served by a young chinese guy service advisor.  Weird experience seriously...the service advisor looks like he need to learn how to smile to customer.

I asked what are things to be done? He said basic. I look at the job sheet ..well..is basic..i.e. fluids and tire pressure check.  He then suggest these upgrades to me: 1. pedal lock ..I refused. 2. headlamp film..he showed me the price RM280 ..I refused. 3. autolock..I refused..(dont like ppl tearing my new car apart and wiring here and there)

Well I told him, I just need an extra pair of rubber cover for my wiper since so many of our friends one got stolen. Joker told me..."why not you buy when it really get stolen."  I insist buying extra now as spare, he replied ..we don't have that in stock, need to order. I said just give me the City one..I heard they are the same, he said no stock neither.

Alright fine. So when can I collect the car since its basic check up only, now is 10am. He said 12pm.  doh.gif  I wonder what's appointment are for. He said the queue is quite long ..u have to wait even though is simple check up. Alright fine..I'll wait. Good thing was my sales advisor was there ..she offered to send me to office/home but I said is alright wanna see what they gonna do to my sweetheart. Sooooo while waiting ...I walked to the Parts Counter and asked for 2 pcs of wiper rubber cover for Honda City.

[attachmentid=2230456]
RM7 each!

shakehead.gif  to that Service Advisor ...dude u better wake up before losing your job.

USJ again? I learned my lesson there ... SA there tidak apa attitude! maybe too busy...
