I don't have any issue with auto headlights but I set HU to auto brightness. Sometimes it will blink(change brightness) for a split second.

Anyone else notice this?

Manufacturing defect i guess, always the left side, never hear the right side got problem.
But the opening and closing sound is a kind of rough like lack of grease or something.

Just got back from my 5k service from PE S13 SC. All I can say is, a lot better than Cheras SC. No surprise addon and quick service.
I have 6 items to complaint and they resolve 4 of them in less than 3 hours, including basic service.

Btw, Syntium 800 got this universal mobile phone charger. No more car wash.

Waah.. Certain SC didn't care to give it to the customer. Remember last time my father's friend worked at some SC back in my hometown, the SC distributed the free gift among the staff. Some even considered it as bonus from the management.. What a dupe.. doh.gif

So since this SC give the FG to u then at least they r honest in that.

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?

TBH i dunno if i got the helicopter sound. I rarely do sudden braking. I did try sudden braking, got thud thud sound. is this the sound?

Should've join satay TT last weekend so that someone can testdrive mine.

Anyway, i have clocked 8k++ in 3 months. Maybe the sound went out already.

I find radio reception good when on highway or outside KL in other town. In KL, I select RDS and AF off. The moment on highway, I select on.

I found that the RDS & AF never works for me. I have to manually tune in.

YF, yes the one with the P position. It is only to tell you, push the button to switch off the engine. Perhaps yours and mine are the newer batch with updated ECU and SID. I cannot get the push button sign when engine on and in P. Then again, I haven't idled in P for a long time anyhow. I'm sure all of us know that we need to push the button to switch off the engine anyhow and it ain't a warning sign although the manual does use this word. You want to turn off the engine, turn the key or in the instance of the CFE, push the button.

I encountered this sign in the display when I do get to start immediately as in fob-brake-push start but fuel pump still activating hence the whirring sound from the fuel tank. Then need to push the SSB again. My default screen is always Km to empty. Jalan jalan then the push start button sign come out. After 2 times push the button on the wiper stalk ok already. But I don't seem to get it already nowadays.

Unless any other owner feedbacks, I think it is safe to ignore and select back the display you want on the screen.

As with any other car pls pull over and stop if you were to get those real warning signs like CEL, High Temp, Low Oil.
*
last weekend mine started to show check engine & check oil. but once engine start, the lights gone. should i be worried?

I did check the oil dripstick, the level was under the 2 slopes. I guess the lowest slope represent lowest point?

All warning lights come on is good before or during startup as ECU is calibrating and you know the light is working.

Any warning light don't go off after startup or come on when driving is shit already.

If engine cold or at least 15 minutes off then you take oil reading and it is low, need to top up but then really need to find out why is there an oil loss in the first place.

Oil leak easy fix at SC. Burning oil, all the best at SC, we shall be with you there in spirit and mind.
*
That's the thing. My driveway dont have any oil spot. Mileage only 4.5k since last service. Using SemiSyn btw.
Should i be worried? or should i wait for net service?

I think no issue with early service. Answered my Q already. hahaha.

Semi or fully doesn't matter. As long it ain't fake or reprocessed oil.

If oil is going pass the piston rings and valve seals into the combustion chamber it should show in a  quick dry then wet compression test but will mean a damn long service. Damn long.

If turbine seal leak you could get it back the same day.

Your total mileage?
*
Current mileage is 9.7k. The thing is, i did go to dealer service center, they said it's normal for the check engine, check oil & battery to remain lit up after 2nd press of start button. It will gone once engine started.

Can anyone confirm this? I was confirmed by heart that only handbrake light stay.
