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.

thx for sharing. will the odometer show 1,2,3,4,5,6 when in semi auto mode or just D?

uh, u  can read back previous posts. The car doesnt come with alarm system and shock sensor.
Hmm so you thoroughly tested it? I went to Kinrara SC. They said fixed but problem persists..perhaps i'll go serdang raya SC. very annoying keep halakiri.

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

I installed crystalline 50 on all sides. Smart tag depend on toll booths. I know for a fact LDP toll at Subang exit is okay. But the other direction not ok  sweat.gif Tried a few times, decided not to take risks (many times nearly bang the barrier). My tint did not cover the area at the back of the rear view mirror, so I place my smart tag there smile.gif

how much did you guy get the 3m crystalline? Is RM1.7K reasonable for whole car but no safety tint, have to add RM100/200 for another 4mil tint?
and how is the performance? good?

My iphone can pair with my car through Bluetooth. Didn't the SA teach you how to pair it to your iphone? You need to pair it with password, but i forgotten what is the password. And you dare to kacau the wiring to install the lockteck so soon after you got your new car?  biggrin.gif

the manual has stated the password is 0000 but it still fail. Do I need to activate the car bluetooth besides just opening up the bluetooth screen?

i just installed the lock without the wiring. at first I thought the car cannot be started coz the brake pedal is fully locked but found that there is still small room to press on the brake pedal.

this is dangerous if the car is started without unlock it hence today I will buy some rubber pad and tight on the locktech so that no more room for the brake pedal to be press and started the car accidentally. hope it will work.

solved dy, have to go to GPS setting there to increase the volume; but the weird thing is no sound at all at level 3 and only noticeable in level 5 (max).

i found that in the original DVD Navi HU manual, it stated reserve camera is supported, anyone plan to install a camera at their front bumper? smile.gif

This is the European standard for paint code. Its the sample for your future source of your paint code should you have an accident and need repair. For Malaysia, I think majority of the paint workshops will know the coding therefore they do not need this sample. Anyway no harm leaving it there.

thx buddy for your explanation smile.gif

RIGHT SIDE:

is there suppose to be a hole on the left side? or there should be a plastic stopper like on the right side?
Can anyone double confirm on their forte's glovebox?
*
The knob on the left side should be missing. Did anyone service your air cond filter, adding any alarm recently or etc?

Btw do we need to soft start the car to get the airbag working if any accident happens? Like turn to ACC mode and wait the air bag logo disappear before start the engine?
