Gila one, first mistake is didn't wash the mitt, then didn't start from top to bottom.

Full with mistakes, shouldn't use that kind of water pressure as well.

More like fastest to get your car with swirl marks

Collect my fire red last Friday.  It is excited until now and still ongoing.... (Too bad, the feeling of the excited is changing from good to bad...).  Looks like, I’m one of the “lucky” preve owner...  smile.gif

What I like most about the car?
- Spacious
- All kind of safety devices
- Better sound proof system than myvi and kelisa
- Nice sound system (of course, it is comparing with myvi and kelisa)

What I really really really don’t like So far?,...
I got 15 problems?(some of them required further confirmation)

1. There is oil leaking. I don't know what oil it is.  The colour is not black, it is very near to the cooking oil colour.
2. Once the ESC indicator is on, it will not go off until the engine is stopped.
3. Indicator (need confirmation)
Instant indicator is showing _'_.  I though it should show some number?
Outside temperature indicator is not found/available.  I read this in the manual
5. When Braking, got "helicopter sound", it is loud.  Especially when braking with speed more than 70KM
6. The Sterling is shaking when reaching 120km; Balancing is out?
7. Alignment is out also. I have fixed this by paying RM16. Can i claim back from proton?
8. The engine is noisy, far from what we are expecting.  However, the noise will be much lower when it is running 90KM and above with constant speed (in fact, this is the noise that we are looking at).
9. Car is “lazy” to move when rpm is less than 1800 (roughly).  After 3 days driving, still not use to it.
10. chok (pronounce in Cantonese),the car is not moving smoothly if not step on the accelerator. Especially happens to speed less than 60km.  It is like driving a manual car when you didn’t step on the accelerator, the speed is reducing and with the wrong gear.  Is it normal?
11. Can't just unlock the driver's door by using remote.  Once I press the release button, all the four doors unlocked.
12. Air-con blower got weird sound when the fan is more than half (may be around 75% and above).
13. Back sit power socket cover is kind of fragile.  The cover is being detached when I first open it.  The connector is broken..
14. Driver site windscreen got stain (color=white bigger than 50cent). Kind of glue I think.  I don’t know how to remove it.  I only try to remove it with water, but failed.
15. Headlight flashing is not available?  The light is always in “high” position once I pull the headlight stroke.  I though It should be flashing If I didn’t pull the stroke until second level (same as most of the car or even all the car?).
Enough?  Hope no more.  Still didn’t fix the oil leaking issues, got to work today.  Will try to apply leave for tomorrow and go SC puchong (edar branch)...
Hi there,

Welcome and sorry for the unfortunate events.
No 4, doesn't have on our model. Read the manual carefully, *if fitted

No 5, i heard it's brake still new, try drive few more days and give feedback again, although mine doesn't have that issue

no 9, prolly you need a remap

No 11, i think this is normal

No 13, agree with you, flimsy

The rest you should check with SC

I'm at sc now, for those who wait, might be blessing in disguise, I seriously hope they fixed the cold start valve sound issue.

Now I might need to wait for the parts to come and the car need to sleep few days in sc

Oo n the 4g, there's no coverage here at my sc, talk bout irony

dont need to scare just be white mice. and we can get our warranty 5 years. all stuffs we collected now and request to change this and that and report to proton they will take note so that in future all new batch proton preve will have better stuffs. and hopefully they will take note on that and apply it to future proton cars as well.

Bro, the fog lamp opening it's normal.

You peep on the left hand side, got a radiator or intercooler there, not sure which component it's for.

pull down one is level one speed...two is double...three is triple... back to auto....i thought it suppose to be auto same as the light only on when it is at night..

pull down one level it'll start slow but then will be auto adjust speed if the rain is heavy.

From what my exora friend told me, you need to pull it down at least one lever first. Maybe someone here can enlighten us

Pull down 1 level is auto

Pull down 2 level is lo speed

Pull down 3 level is hi speed

Original position is off

Switch on the engine and if the lever is pull down to auto, you can test it

oh i see so really need to push down one level.... i thought put in neutral position it will start operate already.... so means each time the car start....if push down one level ...the wiper will wipe once then stop there...whenever there is rain ...then only it will operate right?

If service book say next service 5000km but they give you fully synthetic oil and ask you come at 10000km, would the warranty be void?  hmm.gif

Service book say 10k

But I use semi syn first, switch to full synch later
