Hey guy,

Just to shared a story that i have experience this morning. The security guards was knocked my house door about 5am this morning,  he ask me, is that white Preve at Parking lot Level XXX is your car.

I said yes and why? He said, your car break-in, the car door open.
After that i was went down to  the parking lot with the security guards and he ask me, surprisingly when i reached my car parking lot, the driver side door and right rear passenger door was open, and the side mirror was open up also.

I was inspecting the car and found nothing was missing, smart tags and a tong of syling was still there. Windows and door was not broken and found no sign of broken in via hard tools.

I tried to start the engine, and everything was in normal.  The guards ask me, anything missing and i said no. The new honda civic and new Ford fiesta model step next to my car also experience the same problem.

I was wonder, how does the door open? is the thief open a car door with a special master key remote key?

Is the thief failed to start the engine after open the door?

And one more question, i remember the car will auto lock by itself after unlock for few minutes.

That's weird. For my case, there were multiple occasion where i locked the car but the rear door pintu tak rapat. Comes next morning only found out. luckily nothing is missing till now. I live in apartment btw.

Anyone know what happen to my Preve?

Just now when i shut off my engine... then i start it back on, battery, engine oil symbol keep light up.

Then brake became very hard to press. I had to force it down to be able to start my engine then it became soft. Bad thing is, when i press and release the brake, there'll be sound from below the gear stick
*
just before engine start, battery icon, check engine icon will lit. once engine started, it should be gone. If still lit up, head to SC.

Our brake has some sort of vacuum. The more you press while engine is off, it will get harder.

The sound is gear shift locked being unlocked. it's normal.

wait until 10k service,then its optimum then. for preve iafm,the weight did hampered its city drive. and rm50 is old price,now around rm55. and its on average.

but i can give u a tip on how to juice up ur fc n understand how punch cvt work. apply to all,same as cfe.

in city traffic, when u stop at traffic n want to start moving,never press ur throttle 1st,wait until the car start moving or rolling bx itself n the rpm raise by 1krpm++,then u start to press the fuel pedal.

2nd, for punch cvt, there are 3 diff strategies applied.

no 1, 1k rpm to 1.6 krpm,torque being reduce a bit for ease of parking,crawling in traffic jam and driving around housing area when speed is only up to 40kmh max.

when u r crawling in traffic jam,stop n go movement when speed isnt exceeding 40kmh,just rev around that region.

no 2, 1.7krpm to 1.9krpm,or exactly below 2krpm,for city driving n slow hway cruising,the engine wil labour for optimum fuel efficiency,same as cvt ratio. yup its feel slow,but adequate enough in city driving where speed is not more than 80 kmh. so,if ur driving in town n traffic is smooth,only stop at traffic light,n after that smooth,then rev around this region.

no 3,2k rpm and beyond,this is when the character of cvt change,for cfe,of course feel like a massive torque,for iafm+,u will feel its power start to come.
the cvt ratio is more on agressive ratio,where low ratio is being given utmost priority,to ease overtaking,sudden acceleration,fully loaded, hill climbing etc. slam the pedal a bit beyond 2k rpm,even at 2.1krpm,u will feel diff feeling compare to below 2krpm, u can hear the cvt n engine roar a bit. this is where normally people will drive,but being cvt,that is not the most fuel efficient.

and since cvt, u will feel below 2krpm is really slow,but actually its not that slow. the speed still climb as conventional at at around 2k to 2.5krpm,due to smoothness,u feel it slow. thats why many kaki's dont like cvt,it doesnt give manly feeling same as manual or conventional auto or dsg.

and dont use sat function for iafm unless u know how to manipulate it. it may give better acceleration feeling,but just the feeling,not the speed.

try out urself,using sat,rev not exceeding 2krpm each gear,driving in full cvt mode,slam to 2krpm. cmpare the feeling and the speed.
