The second stage of blinking maybe left 5.5L

Btw, i didnt use mrr2 that day, divert masuk KL wink.gif
lemme check in the manual book


Added on December 15, 2012, 4:14 pmuser posted image

8 Litres left in tank if the warning fuel light up

Assume fc at 11L/100km

= 0.11L / 1km

8L / 0.11L = 72

1km X 72 = 72litre

So when fuel indicator light up, we have approx. 70km to go if fc is at 11L/100km  rclxm9.gif

AFAIK, we should not drive until the last few liters fuel left in the tank. My dad always advice me not to wait till the warning fuel light-up since I had my licence & start driving.. The reason is, it may burnt the fuel pump. While driving in various road condition and braking & accelerating with an empty tank, the fuel pump will sometimes runs without fuel, gets heated up and might burn the pump.. No wonder my dad 20 years old car fuel pump is still running till now.. biggrin.gif
Another thing is, if u want to keep your fuel tank clean, always pump your tank to at least 70% fuel, to avoid any unwanted material grow at the inner wall of the fuel tank..

Cheers.. biggrin.gif

I also try cucuk & high beam, maximum it can go Alza 160+kmh, Myvi Extreme 160kmh, Vios 170+kmh & many more. brows.gif
But when they giveway, I just maintain 5kmh more than them. Make sure not AES area lol!
At AES area make sure maintain within 10% above speed limit.

But what I shame with my Exora at traffic light/jammed area, even Viva Basic or Myvi 1.0 or Kancil can move a lot faster than Turbocharge Exora Premium/Prime. doh.gif

if you go reflash ecu at proton, some say they have cut off at 120km.. if that happen, go reflash again.. normally it will cut offf at 200.. but dunno why, i can drive until 210.. hurm.. now if the previous EB owner that have stereng rack problem can get it replced, wth the ocv

OCV problem come again cry.gif cry.gif cry.gif

I think the main reason OCV faulty is because the ECU tune is not good enough, that's why Proton release new update for the ecu

This Saturday will travel to Mersing, Johor rclxm9.gif Will send my EB Cfe tomorrow to SC to fix OCV and Update to latest ecu

Maybe the quality that low so proton can keep the price tag as it is...

It is dangerous situation, may be try find Brembo Disc & Pad for EB like my Myvi. This case cannot be tolerate. doh.gif

QUOTE(mat79 @ Nov 3 2012, 01:07 AM)
actually, nearly every car gbox has overdrive gear @od. Generally, Its gear that ratio is less than 1, n normally last gear. Like honda's 5 at, it has 2 overdrive gear. Thats why now 4th gear in the gear slot. Reason, to lower the engine rpm to give better fuel economy,but has less power coz torque is lower at that rpm during cruising. Like honda's, sudden press on accelerator, cause it to downshift to third. for manual, normally, if its 5th gear, then its is the fifth. But some has dual overdrive also like aichikikai in saga blm n fl.

In auto, if to overtake, sometimes it has off overdrive button. If u switch off overdrive, u can feel, the power is coming n rpm raising bcoz it down shift n never enter the last gear@overdrive gear. In prev mitsu auto trans in prtn, prtn dont use button, but u can see number 3 in the gear slot, it has the same function. To off overdrive, so, gear only shift in 1,2 n 3rd gear only.

For punch cvt,its quite unique. If in sat mode, there is no overdrive mode, but in full cvt, there is. Since cvt is stepless, then the general rules on ratio below than 1 isnt apply. Check ur manual book, u can the diff between last ratio on full cvt mode with last ratio in manual mode.

Previous setting is heavily labour for fuel efficiency, but the main problem(when people complaint), it has sluggish feeling n people tend to press hard to accelerate, so, beating the original purpose of the tuning, then fc will also affected.

Then, by giving diff setting, change resistance point, clamping n etc, u will get better acceleration, but if dont cntrol ur right foot, also mean the same thing. But it seems they compensate that by bringing down a lil bit the rpm than usual during full stop by using footbrake, normally around 650 to 700 rpm, now its lower. Exora tuned is nearly the same coz its heavier than preve, but of course, need to alter n test it b4 deliver to customer.

Even people said they dont listen, but they do listen, dont they :-).



Added on November 3, 2012, 1:21 amn mr gk lai, its like u r driving a new car(albeit not really new), its back to ground zero, same as ecu reflash, both tcu n ecu, need to learn back ur driving pattern b4 deciding the best between power n fc, the balance. That is adaptive programmed is all about. Just be patience.

As i mentioned really early before, they can make it fast, i mean really fast, but many things need to consider n many objective need to examine b4 deciding coz for example, if there is no torque reduction n crawl strategy, the car will be fast coz all the torque will be sent to the wheel. If u just drive around neighbourhood, a slight tap on the pedal can cause the car to launch rapidly n its quite dangerous, same as when u search for parking. U need to remember, in cvt, engine speed(rpm) easily can goes up, n the cvt is stepless, u dont want to bang the wall@another car when park.

Diff from step auto or manual where the speed is limit, like 1st gear, is only until 50kmh only, even at high rpm, for example, 6k rpm, 1st gear only take u up to 50kmh, but in cvt, 6k rpm, means highest speed as possible, in cfe, beyond 200kmh. Thats why cvt is banned from formula 1 earlier, coz if implement torque reduction, it become slow, if release all torque, it become too fast n maybe uncontrollable. So, its not as easy as it looks in mapping cvt tcu n mapping engine ecu to work together in harmony.Happy driving.

So, I quote this for EB owner from Preve thread. Hope it is useful

guys on cfe bold, wanna ask this.
when slowing down to a traffic light or junction, between 30kmph-0kmph, there will be a "HMMmmmmmmmmm" sound.(Droning sound?)
is it normal?Only happens when slowing down. during high speed and pickup no such sound 1.

Normal, sounds from the CVT whining. Its annoying and loud nod.gif Have to live with it unless you soundproof the engine bay and firewall icon_rolleyes.gif
