my car this morning could not start. cos couldnt depress the brake pedal.
what i did:
1. insert key to slot
2. depress the brake pedal (at this time it was ok)
3. did not push start button
4. realised i forgot to unlock my steering lock
5. release brake and eject the key
6. unlock my steering lock
7. insert key to slot again
8. depress brake pedal but it was locked. very stiff cant go down at all

then:
1. release handbrake and engage again - same
2. went out of car and lock it then open again - same
3. went away and left it for 5 minutes - same
4. call both iCare and the emergency number - one only available office hour, the other masuk voicemail
5. now i really boil liao
6. flip user manual try to find alternative way - none
7. now i sweating and really boil
8. repeatedly fucuk the brake pedal (yes, literally raping it)

then:
1. put it in On mode (press the button without brake will move u from off -> acc -> on -> off)
2. orange light at push start button
3. according to user manual, if become green then ready to start
4. fucuk the brake pedal
5. miraculously, seems to be able to depress little by little
6. light at push start button sometimes flick to green
7. when green immediately push button
8. first 2 times engine crank but fail cos light change back orange
9. 3rd time manage to start my car successfully.

NOW I AM STILL BOILING. left a voicemail at the emergency assist number. if they dont call me i will call them and fucuk the gaogao like how i fucuk my brake pedal!!

my FC seems abit high, but got go climb hill for 1 time, then traffic jam after office hr, average speed at SID is 22km/h only.. 90% city drive i can say, no much high way in the city. only highway is drive from my home to city centre around 5km but that road can only drive 80km/h cruising for few mins then need stop edi ><

biasa lar bro. my full tank bout 330km only. when uphill or moving from standstil, the instant litre consumed shows 40-70l/100km  heavy lar. but wen goin on highway at 100km, it wil reduce to 3-5l/100km. d car more suited for highway driving kot.

, cause ive wondering on the internet and i found this

i think ive read somewhere bout the door mechanism, but not really remembered it... can some 1 explain to me?

* if it is good information, ill copy it and post it with the credit on this forum....

It is automatic lock. Passenger side cannot open if just play with the lever. Unless the kid press the unlock button at the center console. Then it can open.

Other than that it is lock

Disclaimer: Please test first. Coz mine cannot open without press the unlock button at center concole.

ive got a qusetion to ask, if the child were sit infront on passenger side, how to disable/totally lock the door ? since the child were likely to pull the door latch repeatedly

I think it is a question of watching your child while you drive. If they sit at the back, its hard to see what they doing and if there's a problem(crying etc) u cannot reach them.

Its ok to put your child in front, make sure seat belt is on and disable your airbag(if your're using a baby car seat)

u sure?
ystdy i go test drive with my colleague, i pull the passenger door twice can open...

Hmm guys.. lets not question his reason to put his kid at where. Just concentrate about the issue of locking mechanism behavior. Coz it seems vague now how exactly it works... Need more input from current owners....

I'm sorry but thats bad parenting. Don't blame the car, blame themselves for being a bad parent.

A child should be seated at the back, with seat belts on. If the child has seat belts on and seated at the back, there's a small chance the child can reach for the door handle. There's a reason why the Preve door handle is position that far and that high. Similar to other European cars.

I've already explained it yesterday... pulling the door lever twice unlocks the door, and it works for ALL doors.

Actually the door lock mechanism is different, we need to pull it twice then it will open. Once is to unlock n second time is to open it.

It's the same if the child would like to open it in other model cars they can still do it just that they will have to pull the unlock button.

People are complaining cause again it's proton n it's different from others. When proton follow the others they complain, when they innovate they complain again, sometimes pity Proton also   

give them a PSP. they wont even try to cry by playing it. dont even think they will be interested on pressing here an there. they will sure concentrated on the psp only... lol

ha ha ..I also faced this problem..after experimenting for 5 minutes i managed to start...still wondering how i did it... so many tries...

First fail - carrying the child on the lap in the front seat.

Second fail - Even a supposedly 5-star EuroNCAP Vios can also open the car door while moving, because the locks are accessible by the passenger.

Third fail - should've put the child in the rear seat and engage child lock. Didn't do that, but complain about the car.

EDIT:

Fourth fail - no common sense.

Gave them PSP??? Dem. If I were at that age got PSP, I think i'll just chew it or hold it to 'ketuk' the window edy. Hehehe
