Every car has it's own issue,even Jap's with their high regard for reliability.Don't let this battery issue get you down. It's a small issue,I still think it's a fantastic car. It's already identified this French battery seems to have short life in our weather. Keep up the high spirits and enjoy your Lion on your trip home

Hi, can anyone teach me on how to select the screen with icon - car, 1 or 2 on the Monochrome screen? Please see below pic. I can't find the instruction in the manual. Thank you.

There is a button at the tip of the wiper controller. Press once to select between these 3 menu.
Long press about 2-3 seconds to reset your computer trip at your desire trip 1 or trip 2.

Mine RM100 petrol for 400km. Grr. Find out that this car drain petrol when jam.

By the way, my door didn't auto lock. Anyone?

I have influenced 3 of my colleague to about to buy peugeot car. 2 are now considering 408 and 1 go for 308.

Come back to KL tomorrow. Hopefully nothing happen in KK here now. Alot of rumours of the Sulu attack going on here. I am now at this Gaya Island that full of Filipino Suluk.

Current consumption at about 3k km is 1/8th tank left litres for 540 km. A lot of conservative highway driving on the skve and the ldp.

Also whats the general consensus? Leave the usb or take it out?

Try press n hold the auto lock button until your display say auto lock activated. You may have deactivated it by doing the same without knowing it

The button is located in central console, third button from the left along same row with other buttons of fuel cap opening, reverse sensor, etc.

If this fail, visit the SC they will reset it for u

Come to think if it , I did pull out my USB but put it back few days before the bat went dead on me. So better don't touch it?

Sorry to hear I have some how spreaded the disease.

Got it. Thanks a lot.

I wouldn't call it a small issue. How often do people actually use CD these days? Even my primary mode of entertainment is from my USB drive for music. Imagine, you can't use that anymore to listen to your favorite tunes while on the go. Zzzzz...

Btw, while I'm not an electrical engineer. How much power can charging your phone drain the car battery? My special charger in my car draws 2A. Doesn't sound logical recharging your phone while on the go would actually drain the car battery that quickly.

@EnergyAnalyst - I assume you use this moniker because you are involved in the power or energy business and have to deal with watts, kW, ampere calculation in some way or some capacity. Can you calculate how long it would take a battery to drain with the technical information given below, knowing that charging an iphone uses about 2 amps?

Hahaha, while energy is my biz, I am analyzing and advising more of macro level energy procurement strategy rather than this kind of micro level stuff, What you have suggsted there is like asking your CFO to check calculation of a telephone bill call charges accuracy.

Wrong skillsets match (and Overqualified , should I say) but also not interested.

Still on the crusade of waking up to Toyota fanboys?

Just curious, any reason you have chosen Peugeot 407 over Kia Optima or Hyundai Sonata to illustrate your argument over Toyota Camry?

Well, that analysis was done by a LYN forumer but i guess you need to choose a car which has been on the road long enuf. New cars resale values will not be accurate.

Erm okay.... then I suppose we would not know if the USB power drain is indeed the cause of the premature battery failure or something else being the cause of it.

Now as you mentioned, I did the same thing before the battery went dead.. I pulled out my USB stick a day before it happened. I left it stick on all this while..
