Welcome to hybrid world. rclxms.gif
So your 12V was faulty and your 100V was drained off. Your car not starting is now making sense.

On Insight, the 12V battery is being charged by 100V using DC-DC, 100V-12V converter. Once the 100V detected 12V was low, current from 100V will flow and trying to charged the 12V. Since the 12V was faulty, it cant kept the charge and also depletes 100V battery, hence your car cant crank. 
No need to charge when stationary. You can also shift to 'L', slow crawl leaving your house and the IMA battery will be charged @ 2000rpm and above. In less than a minute it will be fully charged (from mid level).
Quite high IMHO. Mine last time merely 12km.
City is using torque convetered convensional auto. Insight use CVT.
Not true. The warranty is 5 years. How long can last, depend on our luck maybe. Some 1st gen Insight in US still using original battery from year 2000.
Creep aid mode doing its job. Will disappear once the car properly seasoned.

whats creep aid mode?

Last weekend drove up to Fraser's Hill. Only 2 pax.
Pumped full tank, FC registered 18km/l for whole trip. Econ mode off when going uphill with S mode.
Not too bad.

Only set back is the L gear when coming down hill. It seems dragging the gear box and not a smooth drive. Decided to change to D gear and drove all the down.

Quite a head turner up there as I believe many residents up there hardly see Insight on the road :-p
*
using L while going down to help u with the wear and tear on ur pads rite.. yea.. there might be some jerking bcoz of the engine braking but i think it helps reducing the damage on ur brake parts. nod.gif

I had reflected this problem to my SA and ask him to escalate to SC. I love the auto headlight, but it doesn't function well. /sad

6pm or 7pm might still be too bright but its actually the right time to have the lights on..? i think normal rules are saying that lights shud be on at 7pm rite..?
