There is another option... just turn off auto climate control and adjust your air cord fan speed... With that the air cord fan speed will not decrease; it will stay at the speed you have set. smile.gif

Like that the aircon will still 'off'... sweat.gif only blower is working during autostop.

if you want the coldness during autostop then you can manually overide it by pulling the handbrake and let go of your footbrake...even better solution----->dont get insight. we all insight owners have learnt to live with it..breath the air outside.. icon_rolleyes.gif

yes, it is written in the manual.
during auto off, the compressor will be shut down, but blower & engine will function as usual.
but if the compressor temperture is too low, the auto off function will not kick in or the stop period will be minimized
*
Hmmm... isn't the engine is turned off (RPM is Zero) during auto stop and only the blower is working? the compressor only activated when the car is engine is running (RPM is not Zero)
Now I'm confused rclxub.gif

The engine does stop when the Autostop is on, that's why the RPM is Zero.
When it's cruising on Battery alone, the engine cuts the fuel supply (Low RPM) but it's still running smile.gif

Honda Malaysia should change the explaination on their brochure... using ur statement  rclxms.gif

Actually the last diagram from the brochure stated it doesn't stop in particular condition means not every time you stop the car and the Autostop will be on. smile.gif

Actually few months back, my brother and me did a small experiment on this tint things. V-cool Elite vs 3M crystaline 50. In the end we can't really say which 1 is better and alot of debate.

The experiment.
A yellow VW Polo with V-cool vs White Golf with 3M.
2 thermometers
2 cut into half lime
2 set of white sticker on a piece of ceramic plate
Time: from morning (around 10am) till 2,3 afternoon under direct sun (no trees, no building)

The end result
the temperature is higher (by a bit, can't remember how much) for VW Polo. (3M 1 - Vcool 0)
The lime in both cars looks no different. (Draw)
The edge of white sticker on ceramic plate curl up in VW Polo and the 1 in VW Golf is perfectly intact. (3M 1 -Vcool 0)
More people claim the temperature in VW Polo is cooler compare to VW Golf (even the thermometer show it's warmer, they said the thermometer is of different brand so no count sweat.gif ) (3M 0 - Vcool 1)

I'm not saying 3M is better here but I chose 3M for my new car and it's RM1,600 not RM1,500 as Happyman said sad.gif

I use pencahla Link and Duke Highway almost everyday. So far so good, but really have to slow down. I place my SmarTag right infront of the digital meter.

I'm not sure which vkool series you use but my vkool elite works fine with Smart Tag shocking.gif
It's the 3M that gives me a little bit of headache sweat.gif



QUOTE(jacek @ Jun 24 2011, 04:46 PM)
or u can place the smart tag on top of the rear mirror... where the area wasnt cover by the tint film.

Hope you are not pulling my leg hmm.gif will give it a try next time. And you mean the rear view mirror right blink.gif I was thinking why would someone place the Smart Tag at the back while I have to drive so near to the boom gate for the signal to get through tongue.gif

Ya, I figured it out. But my tint covered that area as well so I don't think it will improve the reception.Tried it this morning and still prefer to place it in front of the meter and remove it after pass the toll. Thanks for your suggestion wink.gif

Best if you can keep at least left and right side same. I had a similar experience with my dad 4x4 few years back where I changed 1 piece of rear right tire (same profile, size & rim but different brand) before travel long distance. Half way through the journey, we can felt the car vibrate badly and made a lot of noise then the newly replaced tire exploded. so from there onward, my family always keep at least left and right tires same.

Hi Groovy,

Can you tell/feel where is the knocking sound coming from? Is it from the engine or the wheels or any other part? I've not encounter such problem but do feel that the brake is a bit tight with my feet off the brake pedal. But i guess that could be because the car is still new or the KERS thing.

Hi Guys,

I discovered something interesting, yesterday me and my friend did a simple comparison between 2 insights. and what surprised us is that when we drive from point A - point B together, the FC reading can be VERY different. We traveled from Kelana Jaya to KLCC and the FC result is 18++km/L and 20++km/L.

I have few cars, and even ask my a few of insurance agent, windscreen always optional.

idoblu is right, windscreen is include in the 'general' car insurance.

Optional windscreen insurance is for windscreen only and if your windscreen damage/crack/chipped, you can claim without affecting your 'general' car insurance NCB.
