What sales man told you is right. It sounds when you exceeds the speed limit. But he didnt tell you the key point. You have to fully press the pedal in order to exceed to speed limit that you set.

In owner's manual it mentioned press pedal more that 50% and the car will exceeds the spped limit. But I found that i need to press more that 75% in order to exceed the speed limit that i set.

I feel it is quiet useful for me especially in highway. I can overtake car if needed and most of the time car runs at 110kmh. Lets have a try~~~~

Finally I understand how the speed limit settings work brows.gif

Maybe you can set the speed limiter to 60kmh and try first. One things I dislike is I almost fully pressed the pedal in order to exceed the speed limit. And you will hear the engine suddens surge loudly.
This is my finding. wait for your outcome. smile.gif

I tried it just now. I set the speed limit to 80km/h. Then when the gauge reached 80km/h, the speed remains no matter how far i floored the accelerator. The speed limit cannot be overwritten. That's my experiment on my NU engine

You can check page 5-58 in the owners manual. It should works.

No.. not really. Option 2:
Step 1) Press once on the ignition button, you chair moves forward.
Step 2) Press again, the "System Checks" and all the indicators lights up. When the "ABS" word goes off then..
Step 3) Hold down the breaks and start the car.

I have been driving my K5 for 11months using option 1. Recently, my friend jst got a new k5, tells me, option 2 is the correct way.
Before this, i didn't even know option 2 existed at all. That's why i asked u sifu out there.. and hopefully there is no option 3 to start my car..

I don't think we would want to go through few steps to start a car when it can be done with a single step. At least for me brows.gif

guys, just drove down to Singapore from KL... spend about RM100 on petrol and came back with half tank.
was really a comfortable ride and didn't feel tired at all...of course the normal 1 hour wait at the causeway.

was cruising at 180km/h till johor border (took me 1 hr from kl) and car was really stable...but don't really
recommend to drive at this speed

average fuel consumption is 6.4L/100km (for the record) wonderful car to drive for long distance and am
glad i choose a K5 over many other cars out there.

Me still not daring enough to go until 180km/h. You're da man thumbup.gif

Hi guys, I recently got a new K5.

I found an issue a few days ago when I tried to open my boot with the switch by the driver's door. I realise I cannot open it with the engine off.

Is this normal?

Thanks in advance!

No way that's normal

Bro, is ur car moving when u press on it? If not mistaken, when the car is moving it will not work. For safety purpose may be.

Just now i tried to press my memory seat after sent my car for tinting as they have adjusted it earlier and i forgot to press my setting before driving. Then while driving and i press "1", it doesn't work then i press it again when my car stop during traffic jam then it works.
*
Hmm...that could be the case but I do remember pressing it while my car is stationary. But will try again.
Thanks smile.gif

Not sure if the quality of the fixing is up to mark. Today a portion of the below compartment (plastic cover for the brake and fuel line) came off. Not sure what did I hit but was driving in heavy downpour and went over a deep puddle of water too. Need to purchase a new cover (approx. RM96) unsure.gif

Any dealer can offer me good discount for 2013 stock? Im doing bargain hunting right now. Still havent decide whether to take k5 or mazda 6. Pls pm me ya. So far the highest that i got is rm8k rebate for white colour.

Going thru this thread from page 100 to this page, there are not much complains or defects for this car. Hmmmm... i wonder whether the quality/car is really good (as there are not much complains) since i got some problems with my wife's kia spectra.

My experience...been running for more than a year. Still in tip top condition with nothing much to complain about biggrin.gif
