QUOTE(STC @ Oct 13 2011, 12:14 PM) The SC is coy about the actual mileage for servicing. This may interest you http://www.honda.co.uk/cars/owners/partsan...priceservicing/ This only happens where the government is interested in protecting the consumers rights. yeah..so, it means that we are forced to pay for the unnecessary engine oil change for such a short intervalAnd compare the maintenance cost of Insight and Accord 2.4. For Insight RM8141.65 For Accord 2.4 RM7130.70 The difference is RM1100 but okaylah over 48 months. Just about 100 plus full tank of fuel. although we are benefited through the free import duty scheme from the government but that doesn't mean HM could slaughter our $$ paying for unnecessary maintenance this way |

QUOTE(n00b123 @ Oct 13 2011, 01:27 PM) yeah..so, it means that we are forced to pay for the unnecessary engine oil change for such a short interval Not only that! HM has disabled the multi info display which will provide you the information about the engine oil lifespan. If you look at the manual all insight cars are monitored by the on board computer for maintenance. It will automatically remind you for service or whenever the engine oil quality drops. The only function I can change is the lock time, lights and the speedo colour. So why did HM disable the function? although we are benefited through the free import duty scheme from the government but that doesn't mean HM could slaughter our $$ paying for unnecessary maintenance this way BTW, is the toll free line working? |

Turn your ignition key to II on. Turn press info and down. Sometimes, press rel/sel button and down. You will see few functions there. |

Yes, accessories mode II ON. I bought mine in Malaysia. I didnt change the light mode because wasnt really sure what they do. Just play with it. There's nothing you can do wrong by resetting a few things except for the A and B mileage.btw u meant ignition key to II on, mean accessory position? am really keen on the auto-lock and light change thingy If I remember correctly, you cannot burn your gearbox by driving S mode. There is an inbuilt limiter which will cut off if you hit the limit. Insight is fully computerized and controls the engine and the battery for safety and it is hard for us to abuse it. |

oooo ic .. i tot its the auto-lock upon driving starts. yeah i saw those 2 function. i set the auto-lock off cos afraid 1 day i left my key in dere n it self locked lolx.
the light function i think its meant for roof-light << sry i dunno wat it calls, its the light when u open the door or unlock ur car. u can set dim off at 30, 60 seconds. i set at 30 secs. not bad though for this function. |

My friend, I think you should enable the autolock function. the autolock function only works if you meet the followings:_1) You have armed the car using your remote. 2) You unlock/unarmed the car using the remote but you did not open the doors within 30 seconds. The car will relock and armed. It is very useful function in case you accidently press unlock button but you have no intention to open the car. There is no way you could lock the keys inside accidently with that function. The problem with Insight is the alarm got no sound when you open or close so that function helps to avoid unintentional unlocking. |

@Rhyon & @STC
I tot got miracle that we can have the autolock and autounlock from using the MID ( Multi Info Display ) rather using extra module... have to check with technician... these options should be enable not disable... just a software configuration but HM just disable these excellent features... |
