Just would like to take some times to continue my next chapter..
Done another 100km today, mainly city drive, jammed, lots of traffic light, waiting in the car and so on...this lead to the FC dropped significant to 16km/l ( from 20km/l) and range dropped from 1k+ to 700+ and still dropping. Surprisingly, the auto stop doesn't causes the aircon to produce hot air, the air con is as good as when the engine is running. I've to test further if the ( auto stop ) functions will start the engine when it detected that it's no longer producing cool air due to very hot weather or too often of stoppage ( BMW 520i having the function to auto start again when the engine need the power even the break is being continuing press ) 

Trying to turning off the radio to observe the noise level ( using the power button on the radio as mute button ), and notice the noise coming from the tire was quite obvious....Hopefully, the noise will get lesser as the tire thread get smoothen out.
Technically if the tire thread is bigger / broader --> noisy ---> can last longer, if the thread is smaller/more line ---> less noise ---> but the thread will be gone faster. I believe HM providing the current Dunlop may not the best option for sound noise.

Another funny finding today, the desk board is producing some signal sound ( small buzzer bee sound ) for about 3~4 sec, on every alternate interval of 4~5 times on pressing the break....very low sound but irritating when you've notice the present. Did anybody do encountered the same scenario. Is it normal ? Will have to go back to HM for an answer.

Hi everyone, wanna ask expert here....
1) What is the best way to install secondary security on your car? would it be steering lock, brake lock, etc.
2) Re tinting, which is the best tint available? Kindly share =). I dy saw HU, 3M etc. Think Ecotint is not good? (Heard from SA).

Thanks for all your comments.
*
1. Need or not?
2. I'm using 3M, very happy with it so far. Tough to pass through Smart-tag, but I'm okay with that, just wind down windows only. I used vkool elite before in my old car, very good also but also have Smart-tag issue. Ecotint ain't bad either. I dunno about Huper Optik.

If you do 3M, make sure it is done at authorized 3M film applicator, you can google 3M malaysia facebook page for more info on where to do it.

Hi guys,

Should we send the car for waxing the moment we got it? According to my SA, it's their standard that they will wax it before delivery.

So, for the first time wax, better to send to shop? Or just DIY wash and wax?
So far, I heard a lot of people suggesting Meguiars brand.

Sorry for asking noob question, I have never waxed my ex-Kelisa last time, haha.

So far, I did not encounter this buzzer sound. Is there any message on MID or light shown in the intrument panel? I think it is better to check with HM quickly.
*
The buzzer sound is pretty low to be observed.
No message or what so ever indication, Call up HM but they don't have any technical expert and refer back to the dealer which also do not know the reason of this case, require to send back for checking... sweat.gif

Thanks mate for the head up. What other good tyres to get other than CC5 ? Thanks.
CC5 gives you the best balance between performance and price. Other tyres like Michelin will give you slightly better performance but at much higher prices. I would think that CC5 is quite value for money. But if you have the extra money and dont mind spending more then go for Michelin.

Since when does the auto stop stop the aircon as well? Ive driven auto stop cars in Germany and none of them produce hot air. The air con cooling drops a bit for sure but its still cold air.

And just to correct your statement on FC above. When u said the consumption 'dropped' from 20km/L to 16km/L, it means that your consumption increased not dropped. 20km/l means you car travelled 20km on 1L of fuel while in city driving your car could only travel 16km on 1L of fuel. This shows an increase in FC not a decrease.

May be it's my wrong assumption on :- engine stop ---> compressor stop ----> hot air....,
You're right, FC high which indicated dropping of mileage covered. Anyway, the FC for civic hybrid is acceptable to me, and running at highway is very much better. Overall I should be achieving RM0.10 to 0.14/km.

Just went over to Honda to highlight the "buzzer" sound which actually came from an electric motor generating pressure to the break booster, ( That's why it happen after a few pump to the break ) not very sure what he's talking about, but he kind of explain that it's only in Hybrid Civic with extra electric motor and all car are having the same scenario. Since, I'm just an ordinary driver, as long as i turn on the radio, the sound is gone..... whistling.gif whistling.gif

Happy driving.....

Never use money to determine FC. Always use km/l. Easier for long term reference.
