i'm not sure becuz daylight its bright but when i switch on the headlamp, the instrument like the digitised a/c display have effect...it will on and off the light...very minimal since broad daylight but i saw it
pretty much mean it is working
whats weird is the meter cluster...usually it will light up if i turn it on
but in this case it didn't....like nothing happen
1st test drive, i tried it, didn't work...weird...after finish the test drive, i ask the SA to turn it on, he failed...he ask a mechanic to come and turn it on...failed again
i literally laugh on site
2nd test drive, test the same thing..same result but when i stop, i see other part of the car, it have an effect when i turn on the headlamp..meaning the system is working
just that the meter cluster won't turn on, theres no light whatsoever....i tried to switch the meter cluster brightness adjuster up and down...nothing
thats why am weird how the meter cluster light works...maybe its light sensitive, only turn on at night

i think most of the ppl won't go test the headlamp since test drive are conducted at daylight...but i purposely go turn it on and see how it looks like and found this issue

3. narrower tyre (myvi is 175 while mirage is 165..but both 14")
- i dont understand this. what is this? i cant change 16" tyre?

the profile of the tyre
in malay is berapa lebar the tyre
mirage is 165, myvi is a little wider 175, saga is 185

OWHH I UNDERSTAND.. lol..

im waiting my car. that sales person told me end of this month.

just test drove mirage, erm, the car build is quite solid but i not really like the setting of the absorbers, not really rigid and feel like i m driving a kelisa or viva actually. handling is so so, steering is light, nice for city drive, engine and gearbox noise was quite noticeable, the signal stick is very hard to push like gonna patah, interior is good, spec wise.

about the headlamp switch on and meter panel light on problem, i tested just now found that the meter panel will light-on at the same time when i switch on the headlamp, and the level headlight switch is headlight, not the meter panel, according to the SA la.

Eh what time you went? I couldnt make it in the morning but I was free afte 3pm....so I went and test drive Suzie Swift instead!

Oh haha I went on 4.30pm.

Ish

waiting for your car?
u booked?

Added on November 11, 2012, 9:31 pmhmm...thats weird
mine both car also didn't
and i research, i saw a thing in the brochure stated "ETACS"
apparently, it detects light and will react to it
like if u go through a tunnel, the meter light will switch on and the headlight will switch on
as for the 1-4 switch, i dnt think is headlight...cuz have 4 setting...i saw these kind of switches in other car be4, its to control the brightness of the meter...not sure in this case as cannot test it

the engine noise is noticeable but compare to p1 and p2 car, its consider quite already, and u havent reach high speed where the RPM is low
and the steering, well..typical EPS..its light but it wont stay light....after i reach a certain speed, it will stiffen
well, this car of course not as good handling as kelisa...design for comfort

Is ETACS something like Protons Body Control Module (BCM) found in the Exora and Preve?

am not sure what BCM is but i'm not sure how to explain..i'll post a page and a video
i think somewhat almost same(same system different name )...i think this is why the meter didn't light up becuz it sense light
