Done...!!!

Actually i have a question but i dunno has been asked b4 or not...what happen if we press then engine start button while cruising?

My friend whom has a 2010 Forte did this before whilst stopped at a traffic light with the gear shift at 'D'.
Result...nothing happens. I guess the engine will only stop if the gear lever is pointed at 'P' or 'N'.

Mine forte 2.0 2012, when doing that, all electrical stuff in car will remain on (e.g. radio), engine stops and the information screen will state "please change to P to start engine". You lose control of you power steering too after 2 seconds (very dangerous). However, what yon need to do is shift to N, then tap brake lightly and press start/stop button. Tested it out myself

Actually im mistaken with the figures. This time i tested using the autocruise on level road and i got readings of around 5.5L/100km for 110kmph. My K5 is 3 months old.

yalor...once i've accidently press on the engine start/stop button while waiting for traffic light. i wanted to press the trip button but accidently pressed that..like what youve said, all electrical stuff remains but the engine stopped ...

guys, just to clarify, our headlight bulb is using H11 or H7? from front pages stated H11 but from supplier mentioned H7?

what joke? then what's the point of immobilizer if they stil can drive without key present? so the whole point of the key is for keyless entry?

As far as i know, the car will turn the engine off shall the key is not present in the car for a stipulated amount of time.
I have yet to test it out in the Forte 2.0 my family owns.
Perhaps I might run the test with my KOUP when I receives it tomorrow.

Will update here again.

Very2 good FC for the D-segment car..5.5L/100km. Mine usually will play around 5.8L/100km to 6.5L/100km (@110km/h) depending the road stretch at time the measurement is being done. I guess the DVVT engine in the K5 really make a different.

p/s : Welcome to the Kia club bro..hehe. When i noticed that u already bought K5 several month ago in this forum, i'm quite surprise actually that u will finally bought Kia car (especially with our lengthy history bashing each other last time)..lol

tested by forumers here (if not mistaken)
they can drive until minyak habis...tested by forumer here. he can drive without the key with him...

**sorry...forgot which post.

It's H7

happened to me once.. i help my wife carry some stuff and drop it in the car then started the engine. wifey drives off to office without me passing the key over. i realized it after around 15 mins or so.. lucky the road jammed so she is not too far from my house. take my bike then gave the key to her.

the car did warn if the key is not in the car but thats about it. they will not cut the engine off. from logical point of view, cutting off the engine should be easy since its the checking mechanism is already there. just need to tweak the software to detect the key RFID, if not inside car for certain period of time - turn off engine. then again, i'm not a car engineer so i know nothing..

I believe it's purposely design like that. Consider this scenario, let say u driving the car now & out of the sudden the smartkey battery kong & the car immediately cant detect the smartkey & immediately shut down the engine in the middle of the road. Very2 dangerous situation especially on high speed & this is no joke i have to say.

The whole point of the smartkey is for keyless entry & keyless engine start. We can enter & start the car without grabbing the smartkey out of our pocket/handbag or whatsoever. Anyway, without the correct smartkey (with matched immobilizer code), the car wont unlock & also wont start. Otherwise, we can simply use our smartkey to unlock/start all the Forte in this world..lol

oh ya....right.

Maybe we should have list on page 1 for people to register for dashboard rattling & pull to left problem.

Immobilizer is to prevent the car from starting without the actual key mar. Some car thief can hot wire a car to start without a key. Thats what immobilizer comes into play

I tried driving my car without the key for 30 minutes. I went dinner with my colleague (driving separate car) and I asked him to hold my car keys. I drove all the way from Bangi to Serdang without any issues

Guys, i tried unlocking the door but my car still moving, and then it will unlock then lock again cause the car still moving. Must stop the car only can unlock the door. U guys realise that? I feel its pretty good that way. LOL!
