That's why we called it Fully Automatic Air Conditioning System (or also known as FATC for KIA cars). It will select the outside air intake mood when the system detects only small difference in between outside air temperature & your set temperature (say u set at 26C & the outside air temp is 28C). This is happen to maintain a precise temperature control inside the cabin.

Try this..set your temp to 20C & below especially on a hot day (in Auto mode of course). I bet the internal air circulation mode will be selected by the aircond system (& also a face blow mode). & then, try raise your temp setting to anywhere near the outside air temperature, u will notice that the outside air intake mode will be selected by the aircond system instead (face & feet blow might be selected automatically by the system also). By this exercise, i'm sure u will understand how the Forte aircond system works & behave smile.gif

p/s : press the internal air circulation button in Auto mode to manually select this function. The AUTO indicator will disappear to indicate that u already select one (or more) to be in manual control. Take not that, though the AUTO indicator disappear, the other controls (such as fan speed & blower direction) is still in auto mode. This setting will be permanent unless u set it Auto again or when u cabut the battery..hehe.

Thanks izputra, your explanation is much better than the manual. I notice the blower changes speed still even after overriding to internal circulation.

Hi bro, please share with us how effective are your modifications below coz I want a bit more ommph from my 1.6SX  biggrin.gif

1. Pivot MEGA RAIZIN (voltage stabilizer)
2. Pivot VCAPA
3. UTR Metal Flow air filter
4. Denso Iridium spark plug
5. HKS grounding cable
6. Lightweight rims - change to 16" or to lightweight 17"?

If you had done it step by step, you can tell the performance of each mod. As an overall, did it increase hp, torque, FC & fun much?  biggrin.gif Thanks!

The SA can provide free change to Kia badge?

I noticed 2.0 is KIA badged, but the 1.6 is Naza badged.

I didn't get a free change. You can get a free change to K emblem though.

Can you describe this pull left issue? Like, when does it come up? When at slow speeds or high speeds? Also, does your car has some noise around 120-130km/h?

If your car usage is low, 1.6 will do. Getting a 2.0 might waste your money coz u not use it to the full...
Agreed..but, there's always a but..hehe. On the other way round, no matter HOW heavy footer u are, the 'KICK' is not AS HIGH as the 2.0 & the overtaking maneuver will surely not as quick as the 2.0  rolleyes.gif

Hi guys, I was thinking to get a year 2010 2.0SX at JB area (went to see the actual car at 2nd hand car shop already)

condition wise acceptable

my concern right now is:-

the previous owner lost the service book, and the 2nd hand shop SA also not guarantee the 2.0SX is whether still under warranty or not? is the 2.0SX (year 2010) also comes with 5-year warranty? i afraid it will void the warranty if the first owner never follow the service schedule. how can i check for the warranty for that car is still under NAZA Kia?

and if i really buy that car, i will change the number plate as well, will it affect the warranty for the car as well?
*
Not sure about warranty, but don't think you can change the number plate...
