3. Drive faster when going down to the slope, drive with constant speed when climbing a hill by allow battery power kick in to assist.

How do you get the battery power kick in to assist? I have been driving PC for a month and only get battery power kick in for the first 5 seconds. After that, solely fuel. When I do constant pedaling, speed drops.

Hi Guys, any of you know how to set up the phonebook on the Bluetooth Head Unit? Rather than just appearing numbers, would be handier if could appear the name from the phonebook.

After 4 months with the pc found 1 small issue. When i fill petrol to full the fuel indicator doesn't go up to full bar. It already happen twice in a row. Anybody experiencing the same issue? Going to monitor this with another full tank of petrol. If its still there then need to visit sc because its still under warranty.
*
Touch wood, so far mine was ok. Can go up to full bar and surprisingly, the first bar can last very long but not the second bar. After that, it back to normal and depends on driving behaviour.

Tested already, slow acceleration like press the pedal very light (just above the electricity cut off line) all the way to desired speed, end up is slow + burn more fuel. It is not how hard the pedal you push, it is more on how long you let the petrol engine burn during acceleration.


*
What is the electricity cut off line? You mean blue arrows disappear and green arrow appears? or green arrow disappears and orange arrow appears?

No, none of them. You notice the gap at the middle of the green bar? It is the battery power/electricity cut off line, once your pedal is above that gap, petrol engine kick in. Thus you feel it is much easier to pass through that line while you are at 70km/h compared to 10km/h.

If you always maintain your pedal below that gap, petrol will never kick in till battery low and auto kick in for recharge.

It is good to monitor the pedal level all the time for the better FC, but it is also a distraction to keep your sight from the road.

Safety first ya.  smile.gif

hmm just now i was trying to tail gate a Audi A4 on MEX, but i found my car was harder to go up 180km/h anymore compare to last time ( 3 months ago). I am using toyota full sync now. I heard engine sound quite loud. Any1 experience on this? Can share you top speed experience?
*
I used to drive around 80-85km/h. These few days my feet are heavy, around 90-100km/hr and I do notice engine sound quite loud. Not sure if that is normal or something wrong.

I think when the EV light on, then you are on battery, if the EV light is not on, that means petrol engine is running.

Recently I found out if I accelerate faster when going up hill, it is more fuel saving, I think because of the electric motor assist so it actually save more fuel. my past few days FC can reach 30KM/L because I change my driving habit to accelerate faster during pickup.
*
I have different experience. My FC went down. I can see it dropped from 28km/l to 26km/l

Yes stuck in traffic jam the FC can be terrible, probably 15km/l and less. If city drive with lot of junction, then you don't even have much chance to charge the battery full.

Try imagine for conventional engine car, their FC could even worst as they keep idle and use more fuel when move when jam.
*
Seems that few of you think that pc still has better FC compare to conventional car during jam. I have not done such analysis before but somehow I feel that pc is not suitable in bad traffic area like KL city as the fuel will be consumed to charge the battery.

Just once stop. Can't start back car.**{ [color=red]that mean stop and OFF the Engine(Push Button)

1. THE CAR CAN BE DRIVEN With The Engine Still ON, Without The Car KEY Inside The Car

We tried several times unintentionally. My father and myself carry a key each, then my sis drive the car. But she can no longer drive the car once we are out from the car (she did not turn off the engine) and it prompted cannot detect the key.
