Our can speed but at the later part. Very nice to drive at 130km/h.. Haha but certainly not recommend to speed at fast lane cuz that speed is not fast enough in highway cuz easily get flashed or tailgate
Full tank average 23 to 23.4km/l

First time pumped petrol last week after using it for 3 weeks. Mileage=717km, 27.9l, about 26km/l. This includes a round trip from PJ to Melaka which gave me a poorer FC of 23km/l.

Congrats schungwei on your new C. Will add you once i get home. As proxy in office limited date to upload to net. ^^ .

I booked mine on 4 Feb (before launching), and received on 20 April, about 11 weeks. The drawbacks are no discount and no gifts. Even the full tank petrol promised was also not given ! In life, we can not have everything....

I heard the soon to be revised National Automobile Policy will include tax incentive (i.e. personal income tax relief) for those who purchase a hybrid car. I may sell my Prius C and buy a new one if the incentive is very attractive.....

I saw the autolock setting in the manual for the US version. You may want to try to see if it works. Mine does not work.

It is only a proposal. Moreover, we do not know how much the incentive will be, even if it is true. Unlikely to be the whole 97K....

I have been using ECO mode since day 1. I tried normal mode this morning for a distance of 20km. No significant difference in FC, 32km/l versus 33km/l, for normal and ECO mode, respectively. May be ECO mode is more for controlling air-cond operation. This morning was quite cold, so the air-cond was not running very often.

Anyone have this problem before?

I encountered 2 times. When I pump petrol almost full, the petrol gun will stop, then when I pull out, the petrol overflow out... Damn!

So far pumped once till full tank, nothing unusual happened

"Trip Summary Display" sometimes appears, sometimes does not. Do not know why.
Under the "Screen Settings", the "Basic Settings" and "MenuScreen Selection" are no longer active. Anyone knows why? They were active when I received the car

Regarding tpms I recall reading it in the US manual. This post states that for them it only shows low tire pressure and not individual tire pressure. I assume at the very least we have that.  Hmm, I might even want to look at 3rd party tpms options. Maybe someone in here who already has the car can deflate one tire a little bit and see if the tire pressure warning light comes on. BTW has no one been playing around with their tire pressure for front and back wheels yet?
About the "ka ka ka" sound, is it possible to record that sound?

@beck_ken
Yeah let us know what they say about the fuel coming out after you pump, doesn't seem like it should be doing that. What gas are you using btw? 95?97?
*
You are right. The "tire pressure warning light" can be found on page 434 of US manual, but ours has no such function.

Pumped petrol today for the 2nd time after 684km, with 30% balance in the tank. 27.09l to full tank. Average 25km/l, although the trip meter showed 26.3kn/l. The difference could be due evaporation of petrol because I parked under the hot sun during weekdays.

Out of curiousity I tried a Apacer USB card reader with an 8gig SD card (Fat32) in it with mp3's on it and subdirectories with mp3's and it did not get detected by the dvd-avn, it wouldn't even detect.
Sure, no problems!

I tried 2 Kingston thumb-drives to play MP3 songs. The first one with 1-g did not work. The second with 4-g one worked well.

On ECOSCORE page, the EV sign will appear if it is on EV mode. This page is the best way to monitor your FC.

Drove from Pontian (Johor) to Melaka this morning. FC was good, 28km/l @ 90km/hr using cruise control. Traveled from Melaka to PJ in the afternoon. FC was slightly poorer, 26km/l, might be due to the hot weather in the afternoon.

i dun get it... i cannot get > 22km/L on hiway cruising at 90
now also in city driving, light footed, slow accel, also cannot > 22km/L on one tank as average.
*
Did you try cruise control ?

Initially, I thought the % EV must be high to achieve a good FC. Today, I realised that even with low %EV (<5%), it can still achieve 28km/l for a long distance (ca. 160km). The temperature outside does affect the FC significantly.

For PJ - Shah Alam, I consistently achieve 32-34km/l in the morning.
For Shah Alam - PJ, 26-28km/l in the evening

hey guys, wanna ask how to pause a song when i am playing from USB pendrive and CD? I dont see a pause button in the player. Read thru the manual oso didnt mention how to pause. So is there no way to pause a song?
*
Yes, no pause function. I think you just turn the power off. When you 'on' it again, the same song will be played.

This is somewhat what is happening to me, I had excellent fc for the first 2 bars on the fuel gauge, after that it went down really quickly and I feel as if there has been a loss of overall power. I'm not sure what is going on, maybe cos of the full tank initially (on my other cars there is some behaviour like this, during full tank it has oomph and then as the tank nears half it's not as peppy)? Then again when I got the car which wasn't even half a tank it was performing the same way as it did during the first 2 bars of full tank. Now I find getting my mileage even harder than before. No matter how light footed I am the fuel goes down quick even with as much EV as I try. I wonder if anyone besides us has experienced this and know what's happening.. hmm.gif
*
My mileage is 1800km only. Not sure if the FC will deteriorate when I use it longer....

Looks like the major difference contributing to FC is air cond's temperature setting. I always set 25.5 to 26.5

Out of curiosity, I set the air cond temperature to 24. I still got 31.7km/l for a distance of 20km, only slightly poorer than my normal rate of 32-34km/l for my PJ - Shah Alam trip. Outside temperature was 29C this morning.
