my car suddenly got this weird problem when u leave the headlamps turned on (not in the auto mode, but turned on), when i off the engine the lamps won't turn off anymore until i manually turn it off. has anyone faced this problem? first time i face this problem and all along when i leave it on, as long as i off the engine it will auto shut off the headlamps..i even tried turn on the engine again and turn off, still same...

QUOTE(warrior @ May 10 2012, 08:20 PM) Check your forte owner's manual page 4-56, could be it i think my driver side door light sensor is the problem..i just remembered that i have a problem with that whereby my map lamps doesnt turn on when i open the driver side door even though the switch is set to DOOR not OFF. If i open the back doors, the lamp goes on so it means that sensor got problem which would in my theory lead to this problem as well because in the manual it says: "With this feature, the parking lights will turn off automatically if the driver paron the side of the road at night." This is in section 4-59 - battery saver function. |

QUOTE(erict68 @ May 21 2012, 08:37 PM) My wife bought Forte 2.0 with touch screen HU a month ago, just now we went for dinner and found out that the windscreen crack about 1 feet long from the top edge and look like S shape..i dont think it causes by stone chip. Just wonder anyone here experience the problem with new batch of Forte? i think few members faced this before..its a defect on the windscreen, suggest u check with sc and let them know..should be covered under warranty for this particular case if not mistaken |

QUOTE(thomas9286 @ May 25 2012, 06:04 PM) i post some question here is look for help, not looking for trouble,somemore nissan 350z how many cc?? koup how many cc??? can merge together to compare?? if i can`t post any question and help for here then never mind i will never post in here!!!! what a freak????? chill out bro, i'm not saying you can't ask, you are free to ask, but what i'm saying is very simple - you are going to buy a sports car (or a sports-car-like sedan) which is the forte koup. Asking about FC is funny because typically those who buy sports car won't question about FC, everything else if you ask like handling, safety, etc would make more sense but FC is indeed funny..imagine going to the ferrari dealership asking for how's the FC compare to X car...if you can spend that kind of money (ok, Koup is way cheaper, but you get the idea), i think FC is not that big a deal So take it ez dude. |

QUOTE(Intel@Atom @ May 31 2012, 07:15 AM) hi forte owners, is that true that forte cannot be start if the gear is not in N or P mode? sorry asking this noob question coz all the while have been driving manual car. should be getting my car friday or next monday. if not mistaken yes, most auto cars have this behaviour if not mistaken..is to prevent the driver from accidentally roll down or lunge forward (in D) when starting the car |

QUOTE(Intel@Atom @ Jun 1 2012, 08:22 AM) you mean just pay about RM400 - 700 to trade in with new 17" RIM but with old tyres? How much if downgrade to 16" + new set of tyres? BTW for asking noob question, when in sport mode will the odometer display change from D to 1,2,3,4,5,6 if we shift manually? and how long will the gear shift back to automatic if we do not shift up/down manually within some time? Thanks not sure about 2.0 shifting as u can shift it without moving the gear lever to the right, but for 1.6 sx, it will not shift back to automatic until you move the gear back to the left. |

QUOTE(fastandfurious @ Jun 1 2012, 02:26 PM) RM500 definitely seems to be a better deal.. RM400 is the same as 1 forumer selling his 1 yr old rims  . Maybe only in JB?  You're saying if u're on gear 6 and u slow down till 20km/h it will still remain @ gear 6?  . Btw, sent my car to chck for front windscreen problem - can hear wind noise coming in about 80km/h. Told me they need to get approval from hq to remove the windscreen and seal it back properly and will take 1 day process. Any1 gone through this? Why need approval from HQ? Coz im not replacing the windscreen, no cracks visible ...at least. But the service is much better than Red Cube, the one beside federal highway. Went ytd, the personnel there juz told me make appointment on Monday coz saturday all the SC will be closed coz he told me need to leave car for them 1-2 days (but da heck i went abt 11-12pm on a thursday, by right shld get car on Friday la right? Didnt explain to me the procedure as well, didnt bother to ask the technical advisor to check first also) Kudos to teh kinrara ppl. Friendly and informative, fixed the alignment issue as well. And the personnel @ kinrara SC told me changing my 17" ori rims to another 17" rims will not void warranty. is there any SA or SC that mentioned otherwise? it will auto downshift accordingly according to the speed and upshift automatically if you reach redline for semi-auto mode...what i mean it wont go back to auto as in it wont go back to D mode by itself, you have to push the lever back to the left. The good about semi-auto mode (or tiptronic mode) is that you can hold the gear longer and can decide when to upshift unlike fully auto mode, it depends on your right leg, the gear would determine if you press harder - keep gear longer, press softer upshift faster to safe fuel. |

QUOTE(Intel@Atom @ Jun 2 2012, 05:31 PM) hi dude, Is the manual mentioning what are the minimum and maximum ranges that the car must be sent for 1st service? 800 - 1200KM? 1 more question, sorry for being auto car noob. Do I need to press the brake, pull the handbrake or turn the gear to P if the car is stop somewhere in the hill slope due to traffic jam? or the auto car will have the hill assist function where it will not go backward when in such condition? Thanks if u r in D gear no need (just hold brake enuf), it wun roll backwards but if u r in N, u need to pull handbrake / press brake depend on the slope This post has been edited by CyberKewl: Jun 2 2012, 06:20 PM |
