Went to SC for 1000km service and check alignment. End up they do alignment and balancing for me. Then after the alignment, i felt the steering went to slightly left when on straight road(Better off not to do alignment ). So i suspect alignment when wrong when they do my car.

So called up and went to pj sc again. They ask the mechanic to test drive with me. So i told the mechanic to drive the car and put the steering center and drive to check. End up with the mechanic claim the alignment is center, but eventhought i have accepted his explaination...i just feel not right driving a slightly left steering , so posting to ask owners here.

1) The mechanic told me not to see the KIA logo on steering as a judge. But the "connection" with the steering.
2)But...due to Cerato "connection" is round so hard to determine where is center base on diff people.

Anyway end up i found out my car Steering abit slightly to the left after alignment. I attach a photo for easy rto explain.

OK, in SET 1 the mechanic claim the alignment is center as the "connection" to steering below the picture is center, but steering slightly to leftside if you ask me.

SET 2 is i try to center the steering in the view, BUT the "connection" area is also slightly to the right hence car going right.

So i am confused As is it other cerato owner having this problem or just me? B4 service the alignment, the steering is more center and car going straight. Now steering sightly to the left only the car is straight.

Please  to clarify is it all cerato car (claim by the mechanic that cerato car have this problem due to "connection" part is round so quite hard to catch the center of steering and diff people diff view) or just my car

Guys, any ideas on the current deals on the 2.0 k3 2015.

im getting 113,800 OTR. any feedback would be good.
side note;

with the authorised accessories shop, is audio upgrades available without warranty void?

Did happen to my Forte after replacing steering flexible coupling last year where my steering wheel are misaligned after that. So what SC did to solve the issue is to send my car for alignment first. After alignment is done, SC recalibrate back my MDPS (Motor Driven Power Steering) so that my steering wheel is centrally align back to normal.

In your case, after done the alignment..did the SC recalibrate your MDPS?

The HU shows remote low battery once in a while when i switch off the car engine.  Only sometimes. Time to change battery?  Been using the car around 13 months only
using kancil for 10 years plus but hardly it needs changing 

better replace it. mine battery was low after 3weeks getting the car(maybe i got defective battery from the factory). after replacing the battery, the batt low warning doesnt come up anymore.

Thanks man! Will change it asap. don't want to get stuck somewhere without being able to get into car

U will still able to get into the car when your car battery is kong..or even when the smartkey battery itself is kong. Just use the manual slot-in key provided 

You can have your battery checked at the Service Center, before you do any replacement. They can tell if the battery is still good or whether it is due to be changed. That way, you get the most out of the battery within its lifespan.

But i tried that before (with the battery still good) and the alarm sound and i have to disable it using the remote.

Ohh..i thought it behaves like the Forte which will not trigger the alarm when open the door using the manual slot-in key. Sorry for misleading. Anyway..i believe the alarm can be disable with other method (without using the remote/smartkey button). Perhaps by slot-in the remote/smartkey into its slot & then push the start stop button 

Owner's manual should clearly guide us on this...

Mr. Loh,

Is the SC at SK able to do tyre balancing and alignment? Thought of doing it together with my 10k service.

For Cerato, when the smart-key run out of battery, there is no slot-in detection for the smart-key, unlike Forte. Instead, the user just need to scan-touch the smart-key on the start-stop button and then start the car in a normal way - step on the brake pedal and push the start/stop button to start the engine.
