Have you done anything on the floor carpet recently like add on a layer of rubber met? Check and see if the carpet is thick and block the pedal.

Use toyota semi syn do not use fully syn viscosity higher on fully syn . Semi also thick but that the only option from umw . Hybrid best on 0W40 . And as smliu ask did u change To thicker carpet our throttle is super sensitive .
*
If add on a layer of thick carpet, it will block the pedal and there will be limitation to the speed. hence throttle will not be opened fully. This happened to my previous car, original carpet is too thick....no matter how the pedal is pressed, the car just won't go to top speed. I modified it and it performed well.

possible, cz i recently add a 13mm coil mat to my pc, how do u modify it??
*

Take a look at the underneath pedal, you will find a plastic protruded downward. This is the speed limit gauge. So the coil carpet should not block the gauge. Simply cut out 2 in square from the coil carpet to avoid obstruction to the gauge. See if this will help.

Hi, anyone has installed a reverse camera on PC? Any price and comments are welcome!
*
So small car, do we need reverse camera? To me, I can reverse easily without camera. Some more, if install with cutting and taping the power line will void the warranty.

Would be safer to have the reverse camera, besides, now you can get a wireless one too. I plan to change the existing fog lamp to DRL + fog lamp as well.
*
Can tell us more on the DRL + fog lamp? Any link to buy or to see how it look like?

glad to hear this. thanks alot
btw....going for my first service tomorrow. i read some comment on prius c fb page that umw sc is not using the best suitable engine oil as compared to what is stated in toyota japan website, Ow20. is this true ah?
*
Do not compare Japan engine oil as weather is not the same. 0W20 is not suitable for our country weather. SC will provide optimum engine oil.

I am sure Toyota is going to have PC local assembled in order to compete with the local assemble Jazz Hybrid. Further more 2014 improved Jazz Hybrid fc is better than current PC with bigger size and better shape. Jazz is selling like hot cake in Japan now.

wash is ok...but waxing....... wink.gif
when i collect my car,the SA said waxing will make the paint thinner & not advisable to do it....true ka?
*
Waxing won't spoil the paint but polish will do. Waxing is to add a layer of wax on top of the lacquer and wax will act as 1st layer of protection.

You need to car about how you wash your car.. not as simple as wax..

coz if u wax and wash outside.. no use..
*
Correct, washing indeed very technical. The cloth used my be very very clean; free from dust. But no matter careful we are, there will be swirl mark and scratches. Hence, I have done coating on my own(Manquer Coating). Now when I spray water, the dust on the surface will wash away easily before I wash my car. After washing, I spay a layer of Manquer Liquid Wax. I am trying to maintain the surface as original as possible. Nice to see the mirror shin surface of my Pearl White PC!

No plug in charging for our PC? I didn't even realise this until I watched a US drama and see how the Prius was charged from the socket, like charging HP.

I always wash my car at one shop where located nearby South city, Ser Kembangan. My car was shinny after been washed from the shop..Wax + Wash only RM38 + good services..highly recommended smile.gif
*
Nice! Hard to find good shop. Now, I only go to Meguiar for car wash as the boss told me all staffs have to go to HQ for training for all Meguiar shop. From what I see, they wash the car and vacuum very details and with care. I like the service very much. Anyway, I will go for car wash when I am lazy; most of the time car wash is done by myself.

Hi all. I'm in the midst of getting new PC due to its 8k rebate. Anyone face difficulties/problems in driving PC?

Btw, I'm still not decide which color should I choose. Silver, aqua mica or dark blue? Any owner of these colour can comment? I went to showroom, they only have orange which I don't like. I found the image from google too nice to be believe. I scared it will be deviate from the actual seen color..

Thank you.

Toyota paint is very good especially CBU. Color is personal preference. Mine is Crystal White; the Crystal rainbow color can only be seen when you shine torch light on it.

All cars with Pearl White have to top up some amount from RM400 to few thousand depend on the size, brand and class of the car. I did paid extra RM800 for my PC.
