Try ecotint, you can actually get it for free but not sure all ecotint shop does this. If anything, it is not too expensive to add top tint.

Waah, long time no see ppl speak of this.

Went to Ecotint HQ in Taipan BC when I did my SG last 2-3 weeks. The staff there confirmed that no such free black stripe for Preve. Donno how some of us got it for free.

Well, I did mine at Ah Beng shop, got RM10 for 10" one. Huhuhu

i am more concern over going down hill. when going down hill in D mode if u press the pedal it move faster. but if u dont press the pedal your engine will make a huge noise.

what i normally do now i turn the gear to N and use brake to reduce the force.
*
when going uphill, use low gear... when going downhill also use low gear..
low gear of course sound very hard...but is is for safety purpose...

i read exora forum once its launch, the first batch owner said engine got problem already..hehe..
but lately, everybody accept it is safety features.. malaysian maa..what can we expect?

when volvo introduce new safety features..wowww.. volvo for life..
when local manufactures introduce safety features...damn, i hate that, look at T, H, K, bla bla bla..
hehe..

yup...maybe can save brake pad and tyre thread too hmm.gif

Shifting to 2nd gear will still give you that lound engine whine lol.

Anyway, engine braking when downhill is a safety feature, that's why from Genting you see all those signboards telling you to shift to lower gear. If you coming downhill in N and rely only on the brakes, your brake pads may suffer brake fade after frequent heavy braking.

If your engine whine gets too loud, use brakes to assist slowing down the car.

Why driving schools never teach engine braking huh? hmm.gif hmm.gif

You learn driving in manual car ma right? just shift to lower gear ma got engine braking lor.

Auto cars should automatically downshift when going downhill, like our CVT. It's normal. The only exception I know is the Persona that does not do that.
