Haha... tried it yesterday and dont work. Will go see SC this coming friday and ask them how come no light come out one.

Do post us your pic ya bro ^^

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

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.

Li Ion is more lighter and compact and will be better in short term but in long term... higher fees we pay for our battery pack hence its not economical d. I wonder if other car manufacturer like Infiniti M35H got put stat on how long their battery will last

Nickel-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

Tried for the first time while stopped on a slope yesterday, did not work because I was a bit reluctant to press the brake really hard. Second time, I pressed the brake really hard to the bottom, it worked! Tried for the third time, and it worked again! So, I have no doubt that the system is in place.

So, timeonce, you need to press the brake really hard to the bottom. I know that you could be worried about spoiling the brake. (Actually it is using a hydraulic pump, so it will not break)

Added on November 21, 2012, 8:21 amBased on my trip meter B, which I have not reset since I received the car. The actual FC rate based on my manual calculation is about 1km/l lower than that of the trip meter. [Could be due to evaporation from the tank?]

BTW, after clocking 10k, it started to count from zero again but the FC rate is still unchanged, i.e. the trip meter can not display more than 4 digits. The difference between the ODO and my trip meter B is 11km, which mean the car had been used for 11km at the time I recieved it.

nice 1, toyoya should form a club or so for all the owners

Prius c TRD Sportivo is coming soon

Indeed

New owner on 18 Dec 2012...

For 2nd service can opt for 10k service?

means

1st 1k,

2nd 10k,

3rd 10k, and so on.... anyt taikor or sifu can advice?

Don't the PC come with floor mat?? Or they just have carpet without floor mat.....hahaha......

I just called service center Sg Rasah, Klang

According to them for Engine Oil Price Below:

Semi Syn RM 97
Fully Syn RM 209

The price for Fully is 2X more than semi...

Congrates in advance bro, have a greener ride then

No regret getting this car. My FC is significantly improving when comparing with it's earlier days.
Today I was testing on it's hard acceleration and speed while on MEX.
Test 1. Was at 90 kmph, middle lane. Some outer lane cars like H city, H accord, mod wira, new saga speeding from far behind damn fast (like 120?). So I got into outer lane and accelerated. I was quite surprised that PC can accl from 90-130 kmph like within seconds, with speeding cars from behind have no time to catch up!
Test 2. I was traveling at about 90 kmph. A H city came very fast from behind and tail-gated. I floored the pedal. Immediately my PC distanced itself from that tail-gater. Then I slowed to 110 kmph, it took that city some time to "crawl" to my hind and tail-gated me again. No doubt PC accl better than a regular 1.5 L petrol car.
Test 3. PC was VERY stable during the cornering towards the Putrajaya toll (from KL direction) @ 95 kmph.

After tests 1-3, FC was about 22 km/L (including some traffic within KL getting into MEX).

Test 4. Tried to get to it's top speed. Not impressive, managed to get to 159 kmph on slight down-slope (hard to push any further but did not insist). Wind noise started to be obvious after 120 kmph. But the impressive part was that other than the wind noise, we didn't feel speeding even at 130 kmph. And even at 140 kmph, the engine noise sounds like 100 kmph of a regular 1.5 L car. 5-minute FC showed about 18 km/L!

Disclosure: This is not my driving style, nor am I encouraging these tests. These were done to put PC into some on-the-road tests only.

And, hopefully there were no speed traps!

Yup, mine comes with the curve to make way for the reverse sensor.



Hope the picture is big enough to see the curve ...

A Malaysia Tour with 20 Prius C on the highway If we do like that, will end up on the news Maybe get Toyota to sponsor it.

As promise ... here are the teaser LED bodykit.

Bro, how much it cost u??

do you find any bodykit that dont have the curve for reverse sensor? maybe it is installed slightly below reverse sensor? i dont really like that curve design.
