hill assist has to press the brake real hard baru it switch on for a brief moment for u to move ur foot over and step accell. not useful for me so far
Haha... tried it yesterday and dont work. Will go see SC this coming friday and ask them how come no light come out one.

Hi jason. Im from kulim. Not a pc owner yet. Should be one on first week of december. My officemate also already placed a booking. Maybe we can organize a tt for penang/kulim pc owner later.
Do post us your pic ya bro ^^

Wow nice ^^ . Can i put in first page.

I saw on YouTube 1 Italian changed his Prius's battery to Li-ion type and converted into a plug in hybrid. May be it is easier to do this in advanced countries
I think why Toyota haven't opt for li-on as the battery lifespan. As if not mistaken lifespan is shorter after reading this. Hence Toyota still using old tech as lifespan is longer. If not.. change battery always
Disadvantages
[edit]Cell life
Charging forms deposits inside the electrolyte that inhibit ion transport. Over time, the cell's capacity diminishes. The increase in internal resistance reduces the cell's ability to deliver current. This problem is more pronounced in high-current applications. The decrease means that older batteries do not charge as much as new ones (charging time required decreases proportionally).
High charge levels and elevated temperatures (whether from charging or ambient air) hasten capacity loss.[46] Charging heat is caused by the carbon anode (typically replaced with lithium titanate which drastically reduces damage from charging, including expansion and other factors).[47]
A Standard (Cobalt) Li-ion cell that is full most of the time at 25 °C (77 °F) irreversibly loses approximately 20% capacity per year.[citation needed] Poor ventilation may increase temperatures, further shortening battery life. Loss rates vary by temperature: 6% loss at 0 °C (32 °F), 20% at 25 °C (77 °F), and 35% at 40 °C (104 °F). When stored at 40%–60% charge level, the capacity loss is reduced to 2%, 4%, and 15%, respectively.[48] In contrast, the calendar life of LiFePO4 cells is not affected by being kept at a high state of charge.[49]

Hi guys, there something i wan to know bout the maintenance of PC be4 placing my order XD...
i will opt for 10k service if im you.
Added on November 21, 2012, 7:09 amDurability: While both types of batteries are durable and both have been in use for years in various applications, this is the one area where NiMH has an advantage. Some Li-ion batteries don't last as long in extreme temperatures, particularly in very hot climates. But manufacturers are working to improve the chemistry to make the Li-ion batteries last as long as the vehicles they power.

I wonder if other car manufacturer like Infiniti M35H got put stat on how long their battery will last

http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article...based_batteriesNickel-cadmium (NiCd)
Advantages
Fast and simple charging even after prolonged storage
High number of charge/discharge cycles; provides over 1,000 charge/discharge cycles with proper maintenance
Good load performance; rugged and forgiving if abused
Long shelf life; can be stored in a discharged state
Simple storage and transportation; not subject to regulatory control
Good low-temperature performance
Economically priced; NiCd is the lowest in terms of cost per cycle
Available in a wide range of sizes and performance options
Limitations
Relatively low specific energy compared with newer systems
Memory effect; needs periodic full discharges
Environmentally unfriendly; cadmium is a toxic metal and cannot be disposed of in landfills
High self-discharge; needs recharging after storage

But anyway no regret of getting the car. So next time anyone who approach me and ask about the PC. I will tell them "Fantastic" and "Amazing driving experiences".....
