No keyless entry...just engine start/stop button
Engine will not shutdown if u remove the key...
I drove from Kl-Ipoh with the key in the center console...
But once the engine is turn off, u cant start it without slotting the key back in..
*
so it means there's no such function in preve like other keyless entry which will shut down your engine when the keys are a distance away from the car?

if not mistaken SA told me after start u can remove ur key and car can still move as long as u dont push the start/stop button again. He once left his key at the showroom and later hv to ask his friend to come with his keys  sweat.gif

If that's the case, Then the car will be in a serious threat as anyone can get into your car and drive it away even without the keys as long as the engine is on. .

Yup, thats why i will keep the key on its slot later when i want to get out of the car just pull the key and push the start/stop button. Old school way  smile.gif

It's a combination of advance tech and old school style.. or should i say intermediate/ incomplete technology? ?? No offence.. haha..

Then what about cars that are keyless entry? They can easily drive your car without any keys or engine on.

Anyway, today forgot to lock car and window still half way up. Inside got hp and laptop as well.  doh.gif

It has been well explained by bro mohdshafie00.. cars with keyless entry will shut off its engine when the keys is not within its detectable distance.. I wonder if such feature implements in current Forte and Almera model.. anyone have the answer? ?

is there any sort of immobilizer apart form the FOB chip?

somebody need to test this theory out! drive your car without FOB inserted. Take note of the distance and time before the engine shutdown (if any).

Then others will try to recreate the scene to confirm.

Coolio?

Good plan.. will try to do it after I get my car. . Someone who has the initiative is encouraged to do it too.. haha. .

For forte, engine will not be shutdown. Thief can simply drive away if you keep engine  on and door unlocked.

Ic.. so the safety features only implements in high end super cars..

no difference at all using magnetrap or not...

According to the article, magnetrap will keep the metal particles inside the filter. So if the filter is clogged with metal particles, then the product is a success..

nope, change every 40k mileage...this is the answer i get when i ask at EON before installing it...
for new engine, there will be metal particles "running" around, but after few k mileage, there wont be much metal particles as ur engine parts ady adapt with each other...
in my opinion, ppl got hundreds/thousands to spend on their car (bodykit, LED, other accessories), why not spend RM68 for this little "rascal"?

EXACTLY!!!! THUMBS UP!!!

Had my preve for 3 days and the problem i found until now is

1) My average speed on digital meter reading is only 25km/h no matter how fast I drive..
2) braking with helicopter sound
3) tuk tuk sound on the rear side.

Is there any solution for the problem? ?

1) Try to reset the average speed reading
2)  Get it checked at SC
3) Check 3rd brake light housing whether got loose, check rear seat whether lose or not, check rear for any loose part, send sc to check..
*
1) reset for few times but the result is still the same.. am I the only one who face such problem?? Haha

2) Will check it on first service.

3) will check it later on.

Thx bro..
