No, since it can only operate at slow pace. Battery level is always high, more than 5 bars.

That mean it on cruise mode the battery only kick in when u put a bit more pressure on pedal .

Sorry for late reply, they do have ppl to install for you.

that is normal?

Yup that is also called pulse and glide which can give a very good FC . When the system sense u are on cruise mode it will feed less fuel to the engine that why on conventional engine when they are on highway they get better FC. That the advantage of hybrid when u need more power it was the electric motor that give the power unlike normal car they need fuel to get the power

Don't be upset over this. The only time when the motor kicks in at high speed is during slight downslope and you tap the accelerator ever so lightly.

If you ever switch to the 5 min consumption, you will understand that our ecvt is giving us very good FC. When cruising on flat at around 90 to 100, we can get around 25km/l to 35km/l, you don't really need any assist with motor when you see that FC. The assist is good when we pick up or crawling during jam which waste most fuel.

There are pros and cons on this system but if I think they can both combine than it will be a prefect system.

Why I say that is the flywheel hybrid has the power stored by these systems has much less potential vehicle range than normal battery-electric hybrid units. And the battery-electric structures lose kinetic potential during the conversion of energy from mechanical to electrical to chemical, and then back again. In general, flywheel systems have energy losses due mainly to bearing friction, which makes them less efficient than a battery-based system for storing energy for long periods of time.

if a combination of battery-electric and flywheel energy storage is probably the ideal solution for hybrid vehicles. Batteries are great for storing energy over long periods of time, but aren’t well suited for the shock loads of heavy draw-down during fierce acceleration and the subsequent quick charge-up of repeated episodes of regenerative braking. Unless carefully managed, these cycles (especially with sharp swings of charge/discharge state) can severely shorten battery life. It makes sense when in driving conditions, where short periods of boost are required in cut-and-thrust traffic, a flywheel would prove very effective. On longer highway cruises, the battery-electric system could provide steady, even-loaded boost to the vehicles main drive engine. This arrangement would allow each system to do what it does best while enhancing the other. The flywheel would protect the battery from shock loads and the battery would augment the flywheel’s short burst of power. And of course, the internal combustion engine would provide hundreds of miles of vehicle range while receiving assistance from the battery system and the flywheel unit.

Well this my thought but its still depend on the real world. As you know human are very selfish by nature and comes to technology. Are they willing to share between Japanese and the English major automotive manufacturers on this R&D?

1st time fuelup rm70, over 36 L ?..hurmmm

U run until tank finish ? Or pump station give more gas rather than fuel ? Me pump 28 L with 2bar left the fuel already slip out from the tank .

Bro, make sure you "zerorised" your trip A meter everytime you go for refueling. Dont depend on the main ODometer cos it registers and calculate the average from your day 1 the engine start.

Try that one first and i think nothing is wrong with your driving style. Remember, PC is just an ordinary car with hybrid tech and not a "customised" car for each and everyone of us. What differentiate is load condition, distance and traffic.

For the past one week, i only use my PC to go to masjid which is about 1 km from my house. Full consumption said 99km/h average bcos engine never kick-off 😃 So, dont get too sad and PC is the car for future and not the past.

Adios...

Guys out of curiosity...when you received your PC, does the Multi Information Display are ready set up and you don't need to do any setting to it or there are parameters you still need to input in?

for mine no I do not have to perform any setting.

How about ECO saving setting, example like fuel price/L, FC comparison and etc.

i don think we have that option o.o I didn even see those in the manual(I only read through one time, maybe I missed it)

Mine have to set the date

Under the Toyota Prius C brochure mention that the wing mirror is retractable. Does it mean auto folding when you stop your car? But I notice that PC wing mirror at parking lot doesn't fold. Please enlighten me, guys!!!

Eco setting n some other function need to set at SC fuel price M.i.d this 1 our spec don't have u.s model got

Semi auto?? Module on OBD ii port or elsewhere? Anyone install those module?

How to "zerorise" trip A meter?
