Is that the trip button to switch it? Yesterday i just collect my Forte 2.0 white, So far very satisfied with this car

MFD is short for Multi Function Display. Ya it's the trip button. You can cycle through it one by one, very informative. For FC, I also take into account my average speed and duration of the engine being switched on. I reset those as well as the average reading at every fill up. Example, if my average speed is around 40km/h and above, my FC is usually between 9.5-10 litres/100km. If it's 35km/h or slower, it will be around 10-11 litres/100km. Knowing how many hours the engine has been running also helps tell the story a bit. The most important IMO is the Instant meter, this one tells you the amount of fuel being pumped into the engine. If you're monitoring the Instant display all the time you will hate being stuck in traffic jams lol...

Anyway it's just fun facts, not crucial

You'll be driving like ahpek if you keep looking at the instant FC meter. Any little twitch of your right foot will send the meter over 10L/100km, which is normal in any acceleration. Yet for those who are obsessed about economical driving, it'll subconsciously make them fearful of accelerating and just roll slowly on the road.

hey bro.. do u feel the that after the release of the accelerator, the car will still move quite fast and lose the momentum very very slowly?

does anyone know?

If you don't know how to do it, then yes, you will drive like an Ah Pek. Do I sound like an Ah Pek to you? I've got Guangdao LV, Guangdao Photo Conducted, grounding, Pivot Spark Earth, OZ Alleggerita 17' wheels that are 3kg lighter than stock, Pipercross panel filter, and I've ripped open my headlights and retrofitted Morimoto projector HIDs myself. So I'm very much into making my car run better than stock.

I drive faster than most cars on the road on my way to work, sometimes have to hit the brakes quite often, and yet maintain a steady 9-10 litres/100km typically. The Instant gauge will not tragically transform you into an Ah Pek nor will it make your car run on a wet rag. What it reveals is how the engine uses fuel, so that you can develop a better way to make use of what's in your tank to go as far as possible. To me, it's not about how many litres of fuel I use, but how far I can go with that small tank. If they built a larger tank in there and let me drive 600km in town traffic, I'd be happier.

Seems like there are alot of titanium silver available and no one wants it

Seriously???

Everybody dreams of a white car until a year later when they start to malas to take care of whitey. Then whitey becomes yellowy then browny, then finally become titanium silver.

Better just go for titanium silver and save the hassle LOL...

3 months ago, i was looking for titanium silver.. wait for like few weeks, still no news..
in the end, juz take silver since lazy to wait..

btw.. anyone facing the same things like me? when i lift off from the throttle, the car will still move at quite a constant speed for very long time.. means it's slowing down very very slow...

i think so... my SA keep on brain wash me to take T.Silver...

My bad if my previous post seems like a criticism towards you, but trust me that wasn't my intention. And since you've modified your car by making it lighter, your FC achievements aren't exactly the benchmark for stock Fortes.

Unfortunately for you and I, there's pretty much no way we can achieve a 600km range in full urban conditions. The best I've got in full city driving including lots of jams is approx 480km (stock 4-speed auto 2.0L). Even that's pushing it a bit... I top up when I reach 420-430km even though the computer will show a distance-to-empty of around 60-80km (I don't trust it).

The point I'm trying to make is, being obsessed about achieving the best mileage by constantly focusing on the instant FC gauge can be distracting. A better way is to learn the torque ranges of our Forte's engine and ensure that you're always in the right rpm and right gear.

I'm not sure about your Forte, but my stock 4 speed 2.0L in auto mode upshifts very early to save fuel.

If I want to maintain optimum torque through the revs I'd have to manually upshift late, usually around 3K rpm; which if you look at the instant FC gauge you'll hit >10L/100km in most speeds until you achieve smooth cruising in 4th.

If I'm insistent on controlling my right foot to ensure the FC gauge doesn't go above 10L/100km most of the time, I'll be upshifting too early and lose a lot of power.

Again, no offence intended. We're all sharing ways on how to bring out the best enjoyment from our rides.

You seem to think that it's a problem. Isn't it nicer to slow down slowly rather than harsh and abrupt? More refined ma. Yours is 1.6 or 2.0? I think the 2.0 will have a more gentle slowing down than the 1.6 due to higher gearing on the 2.0.

i'm using 2.0. i need to press brake more often then my other car.. let me give you the scenario..

let say a car 100m in front of me already stopped... I release the throttle at 80kmph..
so far, all the car that I drove before (wira/grand livina/old camry) will slow down and by the time i reach there, the speed already slow down till like 10-20kmph and I just need to press the brake slightly..
but now, the car will still be moving like 50-60kmph and i need to press the break hard..

besides... I m not sure whether the fuel consumption will be higher due to this..
