you will get used to it...

the auto stop start function actually works by it self... it will stop for 90 sec during normal condition but only few sec during raining when head light is on it is less also...

you will eventually adjust to the timing of the auto start stop and eventually get the hang of it... when I drive the car 1st time I was also not get used to it... now I'm ok kinda like it also...

some time the car will jerk when it about go to stop but the ECU prevent it usually due to conditions cant really tell haha it happen some time and some time not... but so far I like the fuel efficiency of it

I am considering booking for Insight also, but when I read about this auto stop start function, I don't feel very comfortable with this kind of function. If we are driving in KL for example on Friday, normally the car will be stucked in jam for like 1 hour. So the car might be moving very slowly in the jam. So I am wondering, the air con will then auto shut off for 1 hour?? or It will keep auto stop and start for that 1 hour period?? Isn't that very uncomfortable if the weather is hot in the middle of KL?

Turn off the eco mode and it will greatly reduce/eliminate the auto stop during heavy jam. Go test drive and experience.

The start stop function and aircondition is according to your preset...

alot of people ask me not hot meh.... hahaha there is a ECON button what ECON do is to extend fuel saving but also dont mind a little un-comfortable lah

but if off ECON the car have sensor outside and inside that monitor the air temp. if the temp fluctuate too much the car will kick in the aircond to improve comfort...

some people like me who drive to work early morning and come back evening have no issue with ECON mode but when some time fetch client I usually turn off ECON mode to have some comfort to my passenger smile.gif

The start stop once get used to it it become like normal car I like when the engine stop complete silent in the cabin...

Just got my new car on Saturday.  1st day using it for a longer distance to work this morning.  However am still not very used to the auto stop function, expecially during the period of congested traffic (sigh...the morning kl rush hour).  The auto stop doesn't stay long though am pressing the brake paddle (with the same pressure) and also, it's kind of uneasy when it was stucked at the jam, as the engine was feeling like it was going to auto stop (since the speed is rather slow, or about to auto stop in a jam) and juggle in between restarting engine and stopping engine.  May I ask how do you guys manage it to work smoother?  Thanks!

Few tips.
Drive with Econ off ( my experience Econ off or on my fuel saving is the same) so maintain off all the time.

When stuck in heavy traffic like u move few inches every 5 sec and your engine keep on and off that irritates u, then just shift the gear to S. The will remain on all the time.

Read the previous thread like version 2 onward. Got allot of tips.

Nice grill there! Now only left the rims to be changed! It's almost perfect!

How much you bought the grill? I only spray to black-matte on the grill.

I was told that the autostop will only stop the air cond when your temperature in the car is lower than the climate temperature. Let say u set at 19 degree, the car climate temperature is about 20 or 21. The engine will auto stop but then the air cond will still on. Thats what i heard from my SA. Anyone can comment on this?

I'll be getting the insight this weekend.

I'm planning to do the PPS coating (heard about RM800++) to protect the white pearl color.
For tinted screen, I was being offered RM1.7k or RM2.5k for 4 mil package by branded tint shop. I feel a bit expensive because I can get 4mil with other non-famous-branded for about RM500.

I saw some threads offer much lower price for the same brand but I don't see it available in Penang. Any advice for me please...thanks.

Branded stuffs are always expensive than normal brand... imo rm1.7k is quite reasonable for branded film, but still depends on the spec of tinted film.
