Preveans..can we somehow set the side mirrors to unfold when we unlock the car or when we start the engine? Currently, the side mirrors will only unfold when we start to drive forward..but not when we are in reverse gear. It's quite inconvenience to press the unfold button every time i reverse the car. Hope the BCM of this car has this option. Yet to read the manual completely..quite busy lately. So need to ask Preveans here for fast answer wink.gif
*
for me i prefer the mirror to unfold only when start moving either forward or reverse... other than that, it should be manually operation, whether locking or unlocking...

There are 2 situations where I love to play with the paddle shifters in town driving. First you have to place both hands on the steering wheel and fingers resting on both paddle shifters, always ready to trigger. Do not use the paddle shifters if you are approaching a bend where you need to cross both arms.

First scenario is for slowing down the car speed.
When you are approaching a cross junction traffic lights and you are taking the left turn that does not need to wait for traffic lights and the bend is less than 70 degrees, you just left tap three  or four times to bring the gear to 3rd and use the engine pull to slow down the car while both hands on the steering wheel guide the car exit the bend then step on the gas and right tap every 1-2 seconds to zoom away. The objective is to use paddle shifters to slow the car speed to 40kmh or less for beginners to get a good feel of the engine braking effectiveness and make use of that experience for further exploration.

The second scenario is for overtaking.
If it is a double lane and you are on the left lane tailing a car at 60kmh. You would normally swerve to right lane and apply more pressure on the gas pedal. If you want to pull away from him for300 metres, you would usually step hard on the gas pedal by flooring it suddenly. But with paddle shifters, you just swerve right, apply more pressure on the gas, then left tap 2 to 3 times to put your rpm into 2500rpm region and shoot straight, every 1.5 seconds right tap. Do not lift up the gas pedal. Maintain same position where you are flooring the pedal at around 90% down. Otherwise the car won't launch forward. Don't have to see the rpm or gear selection. Just concentrate on road ahead. You will notice your speed is 100kmh when you decide to slow down. Don't do this in residential area.

I am not a racer. First time play paddle shifters. I find it a thrill at the moment but I am sure the novelty will fade off as time goes by. But for now let's have fun and enjoy the good pick up of the Preve.

thanks for sharing... I'm always forgot that preve is driven by wire... the pedal doesn't connected directly to the engine... so takut2 to press harder like my old manual car before... the feeling is different... hmm.. needs to learn more about this... rclxub.gif

if u want to adjust alignment for free. go before reaching 1000km

I have an idling issue that caused the car to stall when I'm just about to move and the A/C disengages. Apparently, then the A/C disengages, the idling goes up & down erratically. This + the low revs when launching caused my car to stall, several times sad.gif

I drive a manual by the way.

Anyway, guys, I need a favour from everyone. I went to the service center yesterday complaining that when I wind the driver's side window all the way up, the door trim seems to move out a little, like something pushing from the inside the door trim. The SC said ALL Preve's have this issue. Do you guys have a similar issue? unsure.gif


Added on June 15, 2012, 9:26 amS**t! My SC also didn't tell me the alignment free before 1000KM!  mad.gif Now have to pay. My car runs off to the left a little... sad.gif
*
i already ask the SC about the door and they say it's normal...

btw, u still can get the alignment and balancing for free after reaching 1000 km.. yesterday I go to COE for 1k service, my odo already 12xx km and they do the alignment even I'm not asking them to do it...

Hey Guys, Finally I've collected my Preve  rclxm9.gif

Booked on
29/3/2012

Received on 15/6/2012

Chasis Number 58xx

A little review:
Initial Sluggish is GONE compared to the test drive unit which the Sluggish is very obvious. Others following the check list. Everything was fine except the Gear light is quite dim although set to the brightest . I think its a common issue here. other than that, everything is perfect! Busy molesting the car now, will give more review after testing it more  rclxm9.gif  rclxm9.gif

after 3 week got car,

yesterday happy bcoz Proton Edar Alor Setar change my trunk latch after the part arrive yesterday. so my bonet suddenly open problem settle

but today got a bad news

harini baru terima internet YES 4G di EON Sg Petani. Dan harini juga baru dapat Free Gift (masa terima kereta SA bercuti so dia serah pd org lain). Terkejut betul sebab free gift hanya bagi Mug yang harganya rasa below RM10 (org lain semua dapat Touch&Go, Smart Tag, Stereng Lock, Payung). Bila tanya dia cakap itu je EON bagi. sapa2 yang ambul kereta dari EON boleh tak confirmkan? Dan dia masih berhutang RM 100 dengan saya (minyak full tank) sebabnya masa terima kereta minyak kosong dan dia janji akan bayar balik. Tapi bila tuntut tadi alasan duit tak ada tunggu gaji. Tak pa i tunggu sampai 26.6.2012. KECEWA. DAH LAH LAMBAT DELIVER. Nama SA Juwita dari EON Sg Petani. Kali ni memang bengang

i tak puas hati
*
u think ur worse? mine even worser (if there such a word)... I'm only got proton silver keychain & proton logo perfume (hanging at my mirror)... and also got only RM40 for fuel... u're lucky can claim back RM100 for the fuel...

but for me, the proud feeling of owning my preve is far outweigh all the free gift that ur or my SA can give... and even happier after owning for about 3 weeks, still doesn't have any major issues that need to put the car to sleep at SC for 2-3 days.. smile.gif

just do like what me and my friend did to a EON brand few months back...
friend bought an Exora Bold, but the SA, well... did not commit to his promises (on helping with the number plate & NCD transfer... later on his OWV issues)... so my friend pakat with us ramai2 go there, buat2 like interested to buy... after 15-20 minutes chat2 with a few SA there, suddenly my friend came and say "oit, buat pe beli sini, kat sini lah aku beli Bold yg byk problem tu"... we all buat2 terkejut and ramai2 keluar from that showroom... not only us, there are about 4-5 customer also chow... 2-3 days later the SA called him to apologize and gave him freebies so as to jaga face lah... and he did keep his promise to help rectify my friend's Bold OWV issue with their service center...

They never call me at all... I went to service because my mileage already over 1K.

Once there, I did not complain anything about battery nor engine problem. When ready to collect my car, I simply said this car FC quite high and the service adviser told me they already did the engine tuning for me, some more *not so clear what he said* the battery for me free of charge.  sweat.gif
If they fix your battery, you will know bro, your HU will be locked and asked you to re-enter pin code. The clock had been reset. The trip meter also reset (though not sure if this is cause by battery of engine tuning). For my case, my folding side mirrors also out of sync (not folding when lock the car, not unfold when press the button, but can easily fix).
If yours are worser, then mine worsest!  laugh.gif
I don't have perfume, only full tank and a keychain.  cry.gif
Bro, I think your mug cost more than my small keychain right?  laugh.gif
I only got full tank and this  sad.gif  :
