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)...

11. Press both lock and unlock at same time until signal light flash. Then can unlock driver side only.

15. Available. But need to pull very little. Same with "change lane signal".

Both this can find in the manual if you actually read it.

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
*
No need to pull down one level. Just set to auto and your done. Exora dun have rain sensor right? Wonder where ur exora friend got the idea hmm.gif

To unlock only the driver's door = press lock button and then press unlock butoon. Don't need to press at both at the same time.

My headlight flashing is really not working. I try to just pull a little bit of the stroke also give me the high light instead of flashing.
*
I mean can switch between 2 mode. mode 1 and 2.

mode 1 : unlock all doors
mode 2 ; unlock driver's door only

to switch between them need to press both at same time

Where u get the "press lock button and then press unlock buton" thing? tried on mine..not working..

Page 71, user manual.

Pull up is mist

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

Why u not see!! vmad.gif vmad.gif mad.gif mad.gif

Hahaha, actually a bit hard to show with picture lor. White also hard to see. I think black will look more glossy. Better see the actual car and can also touch the difference. I also like the water repellent effect. Water will just glide the windscreen especially at high speed.

What is the different between solid white and other white variant ie. Ivory white & others, not same meh? Cant see the different except pearl white hmm.gif  hmm.gif  hmm.gif
*
Solid White is solid color. Means no metallic. Pearl white is Metallic color. can see the shiny mica. That is why can really see the different between this two. Ivory white is also metallic color IINM. Basically different color name have different tone. Even white have many tone. Some blueish, some yellowish..and different manufacture have different tone, eventhough same color name.

but why i see myvi like a yellowish white
*
That is why i said different manufacture have different tone. Although they all called it Solid white or Pearl white or whatever it is. Paint supplier will produce paint specifically to the manufacture tone requirement. So proton solid white may or may not be the same with perodua or honda solid white.

That, or the myvi so dirty laaa..got so many dust melekat tongue.gif
