Congrats...

There should be a manual, otherwise go claim from SA...

To change clock, you press hold the left most button down, the press the buttons with the H and the M printed above the buttons... If the clock cannot be set, means u have to go one more step, press the DISP button to go into menu mode, change the the first option to USER. Then set the clock again.

To pair, on your phone bluetooth. Then press the bluetooth button and HU will show Connecting... On ur phone, go to find new devices, you should see PROTON device. Select it. It should complete the pairing.

That is a very high mileage for a new car. Normally ours less than 15km. Where is this showroom? Usually the carrier lorry delivers the cars to all showrooms. Well... as long as the condition of the car is ok, no issues, nothing much to worry about then.

Sothy stocking up minyak masak ke? So many bottles...

You can use water mixed with some mild soap/detergent. The soap is to make it slippery so that you can adjust the sticker around before confirming the correct position. Thereafter use a old credit card to scrape the excess water out from centre outwards. Put a cloth on your dashboard so the water does not seep in places you don't want it to end up. Hope this helps.

On gps, look up this blog... http://myjimon.blogspot.com/search/label/GPS%20Launchpad

Besides pickup, what are your other factors considering both versions? The 2.0 has more goodies inside for its price.

If you compare pick up between the 2 CVT variants, quite obvious the 2.0 has more pickup and torque to pull it, esp uphills. If you compare 1.8MT & 1.8CVT, then 1.8MT will win in pickup. Between 1.8MT & 2.0CVT is quite subjective. If CVT uses its paddle shift, it will be on par with 1.8MT when it is on gear 1 & 2 (both reaching redline), after which 2.0 will be able to beat 1.8MT when 1.8MT engages 3/4th gear onwards.

I own a 2.0 and I sat in a 1.8CVT before, I can feel the 1.8 needs to work harder (and a little louder) to pickup. If the price is not a factor, get the 2.0.

Fren, I mentioned using paddle shifts for pickup till redline...

I don't quite get what you mean from the first sentence. However from manual shift mode, holding the right paddle for 2 seconds will put it back to auto mode.

For taking fast corners, try to slow down the speed first before engaging lower gears, CVT is not like MT with a tougher clutch system. CVT is still a rubber belt with steel ribs. Same for downhill situations, try not engage lower gear if ur car is cruising too fast. Apply brake first to slow down then only engage 1 gear lower at a time.

Actually when cruising then want to do last minute corner, no need to paddle shift, just brake to slow down and the cvt will detect lowering of speed and engaging lower ratio on its own. This is why you buy an auto for. You many not be able to do so many things doing a sudden corner. Don't forget to look behind when changing lanes for other motorist.

1) You do not need to hold the right to go to manual mode. Just pull back the left paddle to engage lower gear. If you are cruising, pulling the left paddle once with put you to virtual gear 5.. from there pulling left again will lower gear, right paddle to upshift gear, max is 6... then hold right paddle (2 seconds) to go back to D (auto) mode.

2) You can use this to switch mode but not necessary, pull left paddle immediately puts you one gear lower and into manual mode.

3) If you are in manual mode and suddenly brake, the cvt will lower itself down without you having to downshift. If to a full stop, it will go to gear 1. It will lower itself when slowing down but not upshift, you still have to upshift manually in manual mode.

4) The system is designed to protect itself when overused or when the gear oil is too hot. Proton has added a transmission gear oil cooler in front of the left wheel arch (you cannot see it, you can peek at it thru the fog lamp openings). If you still manage to overuse/heat the oil, the multi display will show "Slow Down" and your rpm will lower itself to a cruising speed. If you see this, stop the car or lower down your speed immediately. It is quite unlikely you will ever see this if you drive it normally unless you super daredevil drive like mad man shifting like crazy for long period of time.

Hope this answers.

We meet up to yum cha, not to test drag... If u come, perhaps we can try...

Thought your manual very fast one? 202km/h wor... 2 hrs reached for tt di...

Yes, you can use distilled water for the radiator to mix with the green coolant. Its better to mix so coolant is more diluted. Coolants can be quite corrosive (anti rust properties, some old school mechanics ask you not to put any coolant at all!).

CVT oil now has a different cooling coil added by proton which lancers do not have.

After the existing users suffered for 3 years... poor fellas, no wonder they so angry with proton...

Thanks for dropping by our tt tonight. Another great tt session.

Matrix gotta exercise the car more... the beast getting lazy...

During holidays, the KL area roads will be super clear for you to test... outstation roads all jammed packed unless you travel on the raya days itself. So many places to go, what you wanna see?

Added on August 22, 2011, 10:22 amI just set to 25c, fan auto, recirculation on. The temp will be just nice unless you want cooler.

Matrix, yes, ours got heater function, turn to higher 30c and see what happens? Hehe... The water from radiator will be channelled to the blower unit and you will get warm air!

Added on August 22, 2011, 10:27 amGot wash it off with some water n mild detergent first? Wipe if as if wanna pull stain off, not press down else u might push stain in deeper. There many in the market, choose one that is non oily. Don't apply to your steering wheel as it will get too slippery (can be dangerous). Just use water and microfibre cloth to clean.

Added on August 22, 2011, 3:03 pmI find most of the big svc centres almost the same... worst is you cannot see what they do with your car, slow and tidak apa attitude. I used to go to Sect 13, log in nyek2 sound complain. Till today got solution but never call me to change. Now I go to a small PE franchise SC to svc. Still can claim parts there, can see car being svc and faster. And I got my nyek2 bushes changed there foc.

I need to check the brand of the leather care I use, forgot the name. Some swear by Meguier leather care Microfiber cloth no bulu come out one, I think you refering to chamoise orange cloth. The cloth not so cheap but worth it, available easily in any jusco, c4, tesco, etc...
