whats that SAT for? been googling around but still dont understand..dont have any driving experience before..lol

i did asked the SA in SA(shah alam) but the answer he gave me.."simulation..rasa mcm 6 speed gear.." cant understand ma..

Added on September 28, 2011, 4:37 pmand..anyone want to recommend me any good SA which can really help first timer like me buying car?

rasa macam conventional auto gearbox...ada rasa jerk bila change gear...then rpm ada drop sikit...

test drive la dulu...

yaya sure drive safe, cz tis time trip besides my new FLX, there's another new Vios oso
so i think we will be in convoy speed, LOLZ
duno FLX wil lack of pickup like old BLM auto onot,
tried to drove my ex-gf's BLM to genting b4 wif 4 ppl,
woahh quite lack of power to climb
(sorry offend to BLM auto owner)

yalo hor, how ah during downhill?
does our FLX come wif lower gear?? so that i can lock it on lower gear like 1st or 2nd??

where you stay?

tak jerk when shift gear, coz the whole process is so fake, lol. rpm raise 1 inci then shift, rpm drop 1 inci, then raise another 1 inci then shift then drop another 1 inci, then when simulating drop gear also very fake, rpm drop down slow slow one. macam siput.

when going downhill, just stay on D, coz

1) L gear speed is limited to 25km/h. If you intend to reach Karak highway from the peak within 3 days then you can stay at L gear.
2) In D mode, you have the engine braking in case your brakes gets faded or went wonky
3) In SAT mode, you lose the engine braking and the rate it accelerates downhill is... you go try lah.

yeke..hehe.. because i saw in video only, never really experience it myself

i think 'simulated conventional 6 speed' is a function that 'hold' the drive ratio over certain rpm, then only release and go for next drive ratio, thats why rpm drop is slow, the gear just have to slowly move to next ratio (CVT characterictic).

I don think this function is entirely just for simulation fun, but got certain advantage. My understanding is SAT mode will be more powerful especially uphill because they lock at certain 'gear ratio', like conven auto or manual, of course higher RPM = higher power. Thats why some claim SAT naik bukit is more powerful.

Anyway, just explain based on my little understanding, i never drive CVT tranny car before.

Added on September 28, 2011, 5:07 pmActually i plan to reduce sensitivity by alter ECU parameter, dun know whether can work or not.

My colleague VIOS last time also like this, throttle over sensitive, then he send for adjustment. But VIOS throttle is not DBW la..

im not sure proton diagnostic tool can use to adjust the sensitivity, although i sent my car for pdt before, 'to improve the response', but there is an add-on device that you can control the throttle, there few modes can you can choose, like eco, normal, sport..i think eco will be slower

Think got 2 more (at least!) in mind...
So feel need 2take break liao...

Will share when in mood 2jump into "getting my hands dirty" again...

Tks 2yu 4help & inspiration in LED projects & Bro ericmaxman for Voltmeter!

bro mind to share the link and price again? for the one u got?

also how do we DIY it? i mean fix to where?

and.. err... whats the use of it? sorry for noob ques..
btw, what is the thing above the voltmeter... curiosity kills! hehe

SAT button does nothing, it just "simulates" gear change. It was invented because many drivers can't accept a gearless feel that is all. Does not do anything about climbing hills or engine braking.

Anyway I would stick to Auto or Manual for now. CVT too new a technology for Proton.

new for proton but not new in automotive industry
and not new for punch(the company that produce it)
since proton got no relation in this whatsoever..they dn't even produce it..u can just buy it
if theres something wrong, they would check and proly change a new one for u, they claim it with punch

That's quite affordable but I noticed it is NOT a CD Player?


Ya, I was wondering where those figures come about? Agak-agak?


The LEDs look good.


Thanks, zeone. That's what I was hoping for before I make a visit to shorty's place.


BTW I read somewhere that blue LED lights are harmful. Google for more info.

Link? Here yu are : http://www.mudah.my/Koso+Digital+Volt+Mete...im-10457528.htm
Price? RM85 (incl Poslaju charges)

DIY? Comes c/w items 2help in install'n. Mainly 2 wires - connect Red to ignition-powered terminal; Blk to good Ground. Instructions in Eng & Ch incl'd.

Item yu see abv voltmeter is display for front sensors I installed 2help in parking...jus like Reverse Sensors...but for Front!.

@ lowyatsuperman : Tks 4nice comments re LEDs.
OEM ABL gives xtra functions but not interfere with ori ones. Alwaz an advantage of OEMs Vs others.

Re blue LEDs being harmful, hope not THAT bad lo being so small? Only 56.4x27x11mm. LED display even smaller!
Anyway, will Google see. Tks, Bro!

LOLZ!! this is funny!!

so I shud jz use D mode when downhill la?
so weird la the engine brake onli applied when my brakes get wonky

yeah, i suspect the throttle too since the 1st time i feel the jerk... compare to persona, the accelerate pedal is so soft and we able to accelerate smoothly.. but FLX accelerate pedal is so stiff, i think problem occur from the pedal spring (too stiff) and we need to push harder to accelerate and this lead to the sudden acceleration and cause the jerk...

i got my car 'shine shine' now... just got back from car wash...
today i spent 2 hours at car wash for superb package inclusive of :
1) Car Wash + Vacuum
2) Car Polish
3) Car Waxing
4) Exterior Window Cleaning Treatment
5) Claybar and Detailer
6) Dashboard Cleaning
7) Tyre Shine
8) Solvent Treatment
9) Interior Essence Treatment

all cleaning & treatment using Meguiar's products (worth RM508) for only RM49...
i bought a 90% off voucher from SuperDeals.My

your understanding serves you right. most of it is spot on.
The reason why SAT makes the car perform better is due to the torque curve. Our car produce the most torque in between 3,800-4,000 rpm, and when engage SAT mode, the rpm will just stay around this sweet spot region.

where you stay? Maybe one day can make LYN Saga club TT then you can come and molest my car lo.

Added on September 28, 2011, 10:16 pmnolah, the engine braking is always there. Just in case your brakes failed you, then at least you still have the engine braking to bring the car gradually to a stop near some sandhills lo. Engine braking + brakes is better than brakes alone, since the brakes are less stressed.

Yes, stay at D mode when going downhill.

Hmm, i think not related to spring la...just they set it too sensitive...our pedal is electronic pedal, means like a variable resistor.

If let say @ position 1 the engine should inject 1 part of fuel, but they set it to inject 2 part of fuel. And this thing is set inside ECU, hmm, just same as steering game controller concept if you have it.

no offense, but have you ever properly test drive the FLX and let alone own one?

Prior to owning the FLX, I used to drive a Honda CRV and therefore I know the difference between a conventional auto transmission and CVT.

engine braking and better car response can instantly be felt and cant simply be replaced by placebo effect. All these are crucial feedback which helps a lot in driving and better understand the car.
