sorry if this question has been asked b4, in order to install the footlight, do we need to remove the lower part of dashboard during the installation?

As for the side door step garnish, will the Honda centre install/stick for FOC?
I was told that the Honda centre will charge RM80 for labour fee...just to fix the doorstep garnish!

No such thing.

Got mine RM300 include labour. Later i demand to fix it myself, they discount rm20. So labour around rm20 oni.

Its the behavior of honda cvt. It uses clutch pack on its driven pulley. The clutch pack is controlled by hydraulic system. On even gradient, the clutch pack will relief some of the engine torque to provide adequate 'creep', comparable to normal auto with torque converter.

But on a slope, with the same creep torque, weight of the car will have the upper-hand and the car will roll backward if u're not giving enough acceleration. Honda introduces 'creep aid' system to address this issue by holding the brake pressure slightly longer (in the abs system, around 1.5 seconds) but the thing just not enough for some drivers. Also the creep aid pretty much depend on the brake temp, pad temp and many other factors that would make it ineffective.

The same clutch pack also fail to deliver good amount of torque on wheels while youre reversing up a slope. Press accelerator harder and it will suddenly release the clutch and your car lurch backward.

Conclusion, the system need some adaptation by the driver.
