Wanna ask, when you collect your new car from dealer, what is the mileage like ? I heard some 'brand' or 'dealer' said should be around 20-30Km, some said below 50km is ok/
*
Just got my car yesterday...mileage is 14km. coz i get them to do tinting for me before i collect my car.
anyway i am in penang which is rather small. biggrin.gif

Mine doesn't have this feature. Maybe its a different software version. Inside the System menu it says version 2.83.2. Is that different from yours?

Just got my car last week also....the volumes goes down and stays there..
I also have a problem with the reception. alot of hissing sound (like poor reception)
Anyone face this???
Reported to SC and they said will report to HQ..

Yeahh..i dont think it is an engine oil issue. I've use the Syntium 3000 from day 1..no issue whatsoever until now with over 60k in mileage.

Bro, u comparing Forte FC with what car? If u comparing Forte FC with the other car segment (i.e. A or B segment car), it's an unfair comparison in the first place. 9.5L/100km on a well-known jammed Penang roads, i believe the figure is justifiable & acceptable for a C segment & heavier car like Forte.

By the way, try drive at a constant speed of 110km/h on a clear highway (& level road), & then reset the onboard  average FC meter. Try maintaining the speed for a while & take note the average FC on the onboard meter..could u give the average FC figure here?

If I drive in Penang and i can get 9.5L/100km, i'll be glad with it... brows.gif

I have 2500 mileage already. it will be slightly better only. Forte is Fuel sucker. The only thing I dont like is the FC. Many peoples did a lot of thing including change the RIMS, add K&N filter to improve the FC.

The SA told me you only will see the significant improvement after 5K mileage.

I am from Penang too, mine currently hit about 9.5-10Litre / 100KM. Drive with very light foot already... Like ah pondan... doh.gif

hohohohhoo......last sentence...nice..
luckilly mostly my wife will be using, I'm only using it on weekends..
btw which SC in penang you go to??

1) what do you mean by "Szzzz Szzzz Szzz", sound..
is it the low signal sound or the 's' word comes out after every words of the singing or the dj talking. like a very crisp sound or hissing sound.. hmm how to explain eh??? hmm.gif
if low signal, try find a better channel...
if hissing, try adjust the trebble and base... rclxub.gif

2) i think the song not suitable.. try download  it again and put a simple name title.
if hang again, try push the up and down button on the steering.. sometimes it works..

Facing the same problem..seems that the reception signal goes up and down...complain to SC d...and they have recorded it and send to hq..hopefully when i go to 1k service will do something..... sweat.gif

Here is the mud guard I installed. I noticed many Forte on the road not installed with bodykit. It is really annoying without mud guard. Everytime need to wash car and easily get dirty. I suggest you install this at least make the car cleaner. But please take note, once you installed, you cannot install bodykit later. Unless you sacrifice the mud guard.
I have also got mine installed.... rclxms.gif rclxms.gif
