Not this indicator, it is a "complete" circle but with jagged ridges on the circle itself - like nothing i've ever seen before

Em ok that is the CVT indicator.

If just flash for a moment, no big deal, but send it to SC as soon as possible to read the fault code.

Shites ! i was afraid it might me something like that. Will send to SC asap. Thanks very much dares

i know what you mean, this one huh :



it's CVT system warning light

Yes that's the one. Thanks.

Don't panic.

It can mean alot of things, such as belt slip due to sudden acceleration by the driver among other reasons. It is to indicate abnormal conditions and the ECU/TCU will attempt to invoke safe mode to protect the transmission.

In fact the error code will be erased if the error does not recur over a period of time or a number of engine starts, as it assumes that it is a one time error, so there is no reason to be overly concerned as long as it doesn't happen again soon.

But again, to be safe, send it to the SC to have the error code read at your soonest possible.

i can make it light up as many time i want
actually i know the trick of this light, did you play around with SAT button lately?
try push the button to S mode, then again push back to D mode... the light should have gone
the idea is, the light blink because the SAT switch problem, when it got stuck from S mode to D mode (the button you push didn't punch out fully) then the light will blink..

to all FLX user, try to push that button to S mode, then again push back to D mode but holding it half way, (don't let the button completely punch out, then the light will blink)

conclusion : SAT button FAILED

apa solution?



ecu only cut the throttle input to 2,500 rpm but the ecu has the ability to bypass the 2,500rpm limit and rev to a safe level to warm up/make whatever engine adjustments it needs.

very hot.

Just came back from Esso. Now I begin to wonder is there any difference between Petron and Exxo fuel now. Car so silent...

My noise got muffled

According to my daughter, she hasn't touched the SAT button since she got the car around 2-3 weeks ago. She's going to send to SC to check soon & will update you guys.

solution for :

1) engine jerk during idle
2) taktak noise during braking
3) jerk during slow cruising
4) gear stiffness from L to D
5) rattling noise came from dashboard

so far that's the problem from me

Added on June 12, 2012, 2:44 pmit happen to me, CVT warning light up during cruise, and I also didn't touch that SAT button too, sometime is 1st warning given by CVT (everyone facing that too) but then after that, the light never light up anymore

Not trying to imply anything lar, just that Kenji is wellknown for buttseck people, so I conveniently used his car as example lar. I did drove/ride his car few time & I'm still safe lar now taking a BLM 1.6 taxi very comfortable

i know it can be fix, but not permanently, proton haven't come out with best solution yet

meanwhile increase right foot control? no way bro
normally during traffic jam, i need to control the accelerate pedal well, if slight accelerate doesn't move the car, what i did is push the gear to N and immediately back to D, then only it give respond to that pedal, otherwise if i push further down, it will cause more jerk (people from outside thought i'm dancing in car )

The jerking at low speed is due to our CVT being clutch-base than torque converter. Torque converters are smoother because they can absorb shock or sudden engine input, which is also why they are less efficient.

Just have to train your right foot and learn to use the handbrake.

1. I rarely encounter this, and usually it only happens after a short spirited drive.
2. Mine is gone
3. the last time my car jerks during slow cruising, is more than 4 months ago... Normally what i do is let the car roll a bit first then gently tap the throttle to 1400~1600 rpm...
4. I think its the design is memang like that one
5. Yeah.

but then those are just minor problem (except for the tak tak tak brake). No need for a mass recall kua...

last time i also use N and D but that will not results in smoothness.. cause of the sudden release of the clutch.. more like manual cars.. even if u suddenly release the accelerator while cruising below 2k rpm also will results in 'jerk'. so currently i choose to hv a good pedal control/gradually press pedal and release. it helps but yes, there's no way it can be eliminated. less braking also helps cause it helps to keep the inertia/momentum

today special, out of topic

zero fuel consumption,
jerkless drive,
less maintenance,
free fresh air cruising...

5 years later, the whole foot can be decapitated due to severe infection.

Seems like the computer controlled clutch still can't beat a foot clutch operated by an experienced driver for smoothness. But I don't remember such jerking when I was driving my friend's FLX
