QUOTE(gfwong @ Sep 16 2012, 10:30 AM) If you set the aircon to Auto, it will switch automatically between recirculating and outside air. To prevent that don't us auto. No, the recirculating and outside air will automatically change if you are on eco mode.In normal mode, set to auto won't change the air recirculating mode to outside air or vice versa.

QUOTE(lmsf4ever @ Sep 20 2012, 03:01 PM) Did any one copy a DiVX file into pen drive/USB and play through his/her Toyota DVD-AVN? Or the player only can play DVD disc? DiVX file only can be played on the DVD/CD, not USB. I converted some bluray concert to xvid format, no problem to play it on the DVD-AVN. |

My sister kena with her myvi at Kampung Pandan roundabout infront of traffic light and I hope it won't happened to my wife while she is driving my PC. They normally pick ladies' car. You are right, never put any belonging and bag in our PC. I always put in boot. It is blessed we have the board covering our boot. Alza doesn't have it, people can just look inside from windows. I was thinking of ram into the snatch thief also if i see any, good to know that no offence, but what about the damage of our car, can claim his insurance (hopefully he has insurance)? |

QUOTE(waiDEE @ Oct 5 2012, 12:49 PM) For bike off course we need a relay...my scoot also use hella to warn big cars n lorry... But for pC yes...just replace fuse... Normally I pump 20L fuel and I can get around 450KM, so If I pump full tank, I can get 800+km for sure.Added on October 5, 2012, 12:56 pm Bro...no matter how high FC you achieved...in total you refuel petrol after 600++km...which mean you refuel back for 30-33L out of 36L tank... As i said avg we get is 20++km/L... Otherwise...did anyone manage to get more than 700km with fulltank..??! or 900++km...then i need to learn from them... |

QUOTE(waiDEE @ Oct 5 2012, 03:07 PM) Haha...cannot calculate like that la bro... 1st half fuel indicator did not equivalent to half tank your petrol... Full tank consist of fuel, air n pressure... Why can't calculate like that? I didn't pump half tank, I pump 20L when 1 bar beep alert, and refuel another 20L when reach next 1 bar beep alert, and the 20L did go 450KM.You will get 400++km for 1st half...but remaining only max about 300km... Full tank consist of fuel, air n pressure? half tank also consist of fuel, air n pressure, I don't see anything to do with FC except full tank is bit heavier. If I pump 36L, I can assure you PC can reach 800+KM |

QUOTE(waiDEE @ Oct 5 2012, 08:55 PM) thanks keanutan... 36L fuel is only 12Kg heavier than 20L fuel, which is just 1 percent of the car weight, the impact to the FC is neglect able.Yea i mean full to half and half to empty fuel indicator is not 100% reflect of full to empty tank... Added on October 5, 2012, 9:09 pm By simple math...you fuel up 20L n get 450km give you FC 22.5km/L..mean fulltank 810km... But fulltank with 36L is heavier than 20L...so the car acceleration not same...provided that your driving behaviour same... And 1 bar beep basically got 2-4L reserve...so you will not use full 36L... My last reading show mileage to go already 0km then 1 bar fuel indicator start beep... Actually you don't need to take the fuel tank size and shape into consideration, just use the pump to put in 30L, use my method post earlier, record it few times, then you can easily calculate your FC, and you do the extrapolation to the full tank, you will get 800++KM. |

Something I do not understand. I stay in the hill top, when temperature below 24c in the morning, the engine will auto start even my battery is 7-8 bar full and driving slow. |

QUOTE(wankf @ Oct 20 2012, 08:36 PM) Hi to all Prius C owners, 1. Half a feet height, which is 6", My Prius C passed through flood few weeks back at Serdang which was height enough to cover half a wheel.Just got a few questions for you guys. Before I go and book one. 1) Can it handler less then half a feet height of flood water on the road? coz I concern about the location of the battery (maybe this a stupid question)... 2) Travel on highway, does it have the wobble feeling like kancil when a heavy lorry pass by? 3) The foot space at the back row seat is it comfortable for the passengers to travel outstation? 4) How's the power? slow pick up after traffic light stop? 5) I saw a lots of review mention that the back row seat is suitable for 2 person only, coz the middle seat is not really comfortable due to the spacious, is that true? Appreciate in advance for any answer from the prius C owners. Thank you!!!! 2. Very minimum wobble feeling even very fast car pass by, not like my previous Kancil 3. Foot space is good enough, this car has 2550mm wheelbase, same as VIOS and City 4. When battery is more than half, it is quite powerful |

QUOTE(wankf @ Oct 29 2012, 12:05 PM) The Toyota SA told me that PC only running on 1 gear technology. That why we don't feel the change of gears like the others car. Here you are talking about the changing gears, so I am confuse and wondering who is right? There is no gear shift for Toyota HSD hybrid cars, it is more like a CVT but better than CVT. |

QUOTE(engah @ Nov 6 2012, 04:47 PM) Friend Prius C overall power output is just 99 HP, the 1.5L engine is not the normal otto type engine, it is Atkinson engine which has better fuel efficiency but come with lower power output, 1.5L Atkinson engine is same as 1.1L normal otto engine output.Safety first, others secondary. Vios has no traction control and no stability control, only 1-2 airbags. Find out yourself how these can save life. Engine performance wise, Max torque: Vios = 141Nm Altis 1.8= 173Nm PC = 169 Nm Performance wise, PC is about the same as Ailtis 1.8, provided the battery is sufficiently charged, other wise, it is just like Vios, I.e 1.5 litre engine What make Prius C pick up faster is the motor, which has 169 N.m torque at very low rpm, this is the main thing that wins most of the petrol car. however, since motor is powered from traction battery, if you want good pick up, traction battery level must be more than half. |

QUOTE(deeplydeluded @ Nov 6 2012, 10:17 PM) My 2 cents on performance of PC vs Vios. For engine, max torque only occurs at higher rpm, for example, VIOS max torque is 140Nm@4200rpm, during startup, you have to rev very high to get max torgue, unpractical for normal driving. Vios 1.5 L engine, max output 109 PS, max torque 141 Nm. Easy, just engine. PC is more complicated because the engine and motor interact with each other to produce total performance. PC's max output Although PC is using 1.5 L engine, it's running on Atkinson cycle, producing only 73 PS max output, which is way below Vios' max output (+1 to Kiding). Thus, hypothetically, if PC's motor or battery MATI, Vios will definitely outrun PC. But with combination of the motor with appropriate battery level, the max output rises to 101 PS. PC's max torque This is lagi complicated, due to the eCVT compared to Vios' AT. Anyhow, the PC's electric motor generates more torque than Vios' engine - 169 Nm vs 141, not to mention the influence of engine's 111 Nm. Even the PC is heavier, the torque:car weight ratio still beats Vios (+1 to jscyl1980). So, PC max torque > Vios Vios max output > PC Which means, PC ACCELERATES faster than Vios (0-100 - 10.7 sec vs >11 sec); eCVT makes NO jerking acceleration, therefore smoother acceleration which leads to MISPERCEPTION of "no power to accelerate" (+1 to jscyl1980). Vios' top speed higher than PC (this is theoretical, I dare not to experiment on my own in real life), thanks to PC's eCVT, PC's max 2nd motor generator RPM = wheel RPM, that's what some people say PC has 1 gear only. For Prius C, at low speed, torque mainly comes from motor, which can deliver max torque during start up such as 100rpm, no engine can do it, delivering max torque at very low rpm is a characteristic of motor. |

Flywheel hybrid, another hybrid technology with better battery efficiency, store more kinetic recovery energy than chemical type battery.
Looking forward to the new technology, perhaps it will replace the expensive and not so efficient NiMH/Li-ION battery in the next 10 years. |

QUOTE(imran6789 @ Nov 21 2012, 07:45 PM) Yepp, heard about the car. But i dont think its practical enough in Malaysia. Things to consider:- Nissan leaf can go 120KM per charge, each full charge take 8 hours. 1. How far the car can go on a full charge. 2. How long does it takes to full charge the battery. If you were to travel from south to north, how long will your journey take. Remember that our plug point output is only 240v. You need a high output plug point to fast charge the battery. I guess this are a few things we need to consider before investing on EV car. So my best bet is still hybrid..... Added on November 21, 2012, 7:46 pm Will post some more places where we can get the bodykits. This car is only meant for short distance city driving, not even able to reach Serembam from KL probably, even you manage to reach, you need to wait 8 hours to come back |

I do encounter rattling noise from the passenger side when driving at certain rough road surface, it is not always show up, but quite annoying, I think the assembly quality of this car is not so good

QUOTE(wankf @ Dec 6 2012, 12:56 PM) Like to share about the Stealth ANDROID CAR DVD PLAYER which I mention. RM2900 is kinda ripped off, someone in this forum selling toyota DVD-AVN unit (grey market) at RM1800, it's perfect fit to the Prius C.http://www.zerotohundred.com/newforums/ice...nd-wifi-3g.html RM2888 w/o installation http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2427311/all RM2990 w/installation http://techcentral.my/news/story.aspx?file...130&sec=it_news Local company partner launching this product in M'sia. Prices from RM2500~RM2900 http://www.pixen.com.my/ Their website I think our PC will use the Universal 6.95in model show on their website. I contacted the guy who posted the product on lowyat forum. He just mention that they have a unit that fit into our PC jus as Toyota OEM unit which need to go to their shop at Klang to install. It got ANDROID 7" DVD Player w/ GPS & WIFI/3G. If it have all those stuffs, we can make it as a car tracker as well(but need to get a sim card 3G service provider for it). With those stuffs, we can do some wonders to it. Cost around RM2888...I think I have to work harder to hunt around for cheaper price. Update on bodykit, just call the guy. He will sms me back for the installation date(might be tomorrow morning or Saturday morning). He have to check with his worker about the kit is really or not and want to buy me breakfast as well. Sound as a nice guy on the phone. Once install, I will update more here on the details of the kit(RM1000 for the kit w/led, install add RM100). Still don't believe the price that cheap....seeing is believing...so let me be the genuine pig first.....hahaha..... |
