Malfree one just install the installer. Select the normal option then put the file into the SD card (need unlock the lock switch first) in the folder (where the UNL file located).

Running on Malfree latest version now. Search speed is a bit slow but working just fine.

Added on June 11, 2012, 3:36 pmFC is around 25 km/L (Morning) to 30.5 km/L (night with 50% on EV)

PC have 36 liter fuel tank, mean around RM70 per fuel up. the trip computer show around 1050km for tank.

The Technic to drive is very simple, don't hold back when acceleration (keep within ECO zone), When road is flat and reach 70-80 KM/h, drop the throttle and press a bit to keep the speed with EV only.

When using EV mode for low speed zone (<40 km/h) and for highway, cruise control all the way at speed limit.

If the ECO score is 80 most of the time, you will get roughly 30km/L.
The key is constant speed.

Turn off ECO mode for speedy pick up.

Don't go to N or B.

There is a code to toggle autolock function. (will share later once I try the combination)

For backseat seatbelt, unlock it with your key and keep it away from blocking.

Well, I just got the air filter (have to cut myself) and going to try install it over the weekend.

I have take a look at the air duct and fan, is not filtered, and being in the passenger zone mean it will suck in dust and hair.
Which mean it will accumulate in the fan blade (cylinder blade) and stop the air flow. which is critical to batt optimal temp (degrade EV run time and overheat charging)

Not sure anyone did this before but I saw lot of those desktop tower with lot of hole one...the fan get dusty quick. Don't want that happen to my PC.

If you mean the EV mode that you need to manual enter, yes, all transmission will be power by Motor and impose speed limit (the motor gear can only spin that fast before pulling over current). Not good for sudden acceleration as the power draw will be unstable and might damage to battery unit.

Trivial corner

HSD system doesn't have a Engine powered reverse gear. is ALL power by the motor 1 & 2 !! mean the engine will start to power the Motor 1 to power the motor 2 to reverse the car

This is due to much simple gear design for the HSD gear.

It depend on the color and how early you book. I know some people who book it just right after Xmas and they are the first one to get their car.

Black and white color seem to be easier to get too. Aqua Blue is the best selling color for Japan for this car so is hard to come by.

Filter I made myself lol...just like how i make for my Desktop. Just a normal dust filter.
I didn't take out the fan part. Just stuck it at the opening hole there.

Just got OBD check on PC. The autolock function is disable by default, presumably by Toyota Asia decision.
Will try get the latest diagnose software for Prius C to enable the function back.

I think the decision is not to autolock to prevent people stuck in car when Accident happen.

Just go to Malfree and download the Garmin normal (not 205) installer. Once done, you should get a supp.img file. Put that in the SD card. Go to Map and uncheck the Malsing POI and check Malfree POI.

The auto lock feature is build in. It just get turn off in the in car computer. If you have access to the car software Toyota (mine is old version), you can just turn it on. Is a market driven decision, we don't get land keeping assist and Auto park option like the one in US too.

Alarm and reverse sensor is install local in Malaysia. Yes. It work. Just try lock yourself in the car. Wait 30 sec, and move your hand. The motion sensor will kick in and alarm will sound for 5 min.

Didn't any of your guy read the manual? Is written there...
There is no button to press to deactivate the alarm, just get the key close to the power and start the car. Alarm will stop.
The Alarm will also keep record log in car computer where you can view from service center when it trigger and what the reason.

If you get the DVD-AVN unit, you getting a 40w Panasonic OEM Asia unit. I trying to flash the software to G-Book version but I can't find the required model number (if anyone know please share).

The DVD-AVN unit in Japan will show the HSD information when driving and is better looking in 6" rather than the 3.5" screen.

For Otto cycle engine like PC, compression is high, mean 0W20 of coz the most suitable for the car. I try to find that for my 1st service.
There should be any problem with PC taking any type of oil. in other country, they fill PC with RON92 also and mineral with no issue.

However, due to the engine often operated in low temp during kick off, my personal thought to to get a semi/full one to protect the engine during cool run.
I find that the heater pipe doesn't run enough long to proper warm up thge engine before it kick it start every morning. My battery is normal in 2 bar when I reach back home so I guess the battery can't run the heat pipe long enuff to proper warm up the engine.

If your EV most of the time >50%, you can even try service every 15k if pull on semi.

That what I plan to get

That should be mine...be go around town lately

Time to first service, which SC you all go?

I call up UMW Malaysia last time and they say only selected SC is qualify in servicing Prius type.
I call again today and they say any service center will do service now.
And I found out that the SC at Sungai Buloh have just went for training last 2 week. Don't want my PC get to be the demo car for service guide.

Any suggestion?

Call up Toyota UMW and they suggest me go to Puchong one as there is less people.

The std PSI is written at the side of the door. First car for you?

I believe is around 33-36 PSI.
However, I pump to 42-43 PSI at the moment to save fuel. Will try other combination see whether which combo suit ur style better. The PC mostly carry 1-2 person most of the time. I will try 46 PSI on next fuel up to see any saving.

Just remember don't overpump your tyre sidewall limit can d...I believe is 49-50PSI range?

Lol, I saw a Blue Metallic a while ago? Ya, that color is very very rare Will choose Metallic if wasn't a Aqua blue choice available.

Let me snap and upload it later.

I forgot which road I saw it d...
It was park at road side illegal parking...haha..whether is Kepong or Kajang I forgot liao.



Lately have been pushing the PC so FC drop.
I manage to get 26-30 km/l while I concern about FC. Don't look at the Eco score, look at the Fuel consumption meter. Accel as fast as you can (FC ~ 10km/L) then release the throttle and maintain the FC meter (around 30km/L) the speed with maintain. When the FC hit 40 km/L the speed will slow down very fast so try maintain between 30~40 km/L range.

Speed ranging from 60-80km/h to hit 30-40 km/L range, 90 or above will drop to 20-30 km/L range.

Yet to try max speed, hit 145km/h on highway when overtaking thou.
I think PC is japan made, so should have the 155 km/h limiter installed.

Hill assist is mean to turn on for 1 second only, so your car won't slide down when you change your leg from brake to throttle. Is not mean to replace Hand brake la...

To turn on Hill Assist, just press the brake harder until you heard the beep and the light come up.

I try to get 0w-20 or 5w-20 and organize a bulk buy later this year after my car pass the 10k mark.

Here is the official response for UMW side:

We wish to informed that the Toyota Prius C can be used the following engine oil:

- 0W-20 - This oil mainly used by countries with 4 season that in cold weather and it is not supplier by Toyota currently.

- 10W-30 - This oil can be used and suitable for our Malaysian climate. The 10W represents the temperature difference and does not affect the viscosity of the oil as such it should not effect the performance of the vehicle.

The 0W portion of the oil viscosity rating indicates the characteristic of the oil which allows cold startability. Oils with lower value before the W allow for easier starting of the engine in cold weather.

The 20 in 0W-20 indicates the oil viscosity when the oil is at its operating temperature. An oil with a higher viscosity may be better suited if the vehicle is operated at high speeds, or under extreme load conditions. For more information, kindly refer to the Toyota Owner's Manual - Engine Oil Selection.

In the meantime, please feel free to contact us if you require any further enquiry/assistance.

------------

We doesn't need 0W as our weather don't go down below 0'C so 10W should be working fine for us.
However, lower oil viscosity during operating time (20) is better for Prius type of hybrid (Honda insight using 0W-20, so does Lexus CT200h) as is thinner and protect the engine at cool start (which Hybrid car needed most)

Let see how the price different between TGMO oil (Mineral 10W-30 is Rm75) and outside vendor.

Anyone have taken out the 12V battery?
Seem Is a special one...not sure I want to change it to 3rd party one when it spoil.

Update yourself la. All UMW unit come with Malsing 2010 map.
I update mine to latest Malfree Map 2012 one.

Just take out the SD card and copy the supp.img to the map folder and go to the GPS unit deselect the Malsing one and select Malfree map.

Wah, 20km take 30min? You driving at 50km/h? No wonder FC so good XD

Mine currently stable at 26-28 km/L after fine tuning my driving style. Hitting 110km/h at highway and constant >80km/h on normal road. Try crazy hypemilling to get 30-35km/h but feel like kereta lembu...

The key is actually the tyre pressure and FC meter (the 5min interval meter) and guess what...turn off the ECO mode.

Just note on the FC meter and see whether you car engine is revving unnecessary and slow down the throttle.
Tyre pressure am now at 40/38 (will go to 39/37 next fuel up) and FC improve a lot.

OMG...i think i saw 4 Aqua Blue PC on the street...haha...
And atleast 5-6 other color...

U all only coming out jalan jalan at weekend ah?

Got one WXA summore...

We should do some gathering

Chill la...

Did u all put on the glass for sarcasm?

Is so obvious that NEbulaSurfer & conqu3ror is making fun of the troll.

They all drive PC la...hahaha...

Later they battle u with Proton Inspira with Skyline engine and do the longkang trick when you come down from Cameron later.

PC is very powerful....when it fully charge up with battery power...until the battery need to sip the power from engine to charge up. But is more than enough for overtake and accel.

This post has been edited by EVA01: Jul 1 2012, 11:54 PM

Try the acceleration when battery is at least 4 bar full....the motor won't combine output when battery is low.
When combine output, the motor torque + engine torque should give u the power u need.

Nope. Honda IMA can still run when battery got problem. Toyota HSD can't even start when Battery no power. Because motor 1 & 2 is key to the accel and engine start up by design.
