If wanna change rims without affecting warranty, very simple - dont sell or trade in your stock rims.

Keep them at home and swap them back during claims.

Guys, I was going through the brochure....there is this "Electronic gear shift lock" thingy that is available only on the Premium variant and not on the Executive variant.

Mind explaining what is that?

its for incase your gear is lock, u cant shift from P to any gear, use that to manually overide it, but that only works in CVT2, as for CVT3 your only choice is to replace the battery

But It's only available on the Premium, not the Executive. Both uses VT3 hmm.gif

i just called section13 pj SC.. she say if exceed for instance 200km, they'll contra on the next service 10,200km.

then i ask what engine oil u're using for 1st service that can last for 10k km? she said semi synthetic.
i was.. "u biar betul semi-synth boleh 10k km?"  rclxub.gif
she siad sure can..  hmm.gif

so is it true guys? what engine oil u guys use for ur 1k km service? semi or full? i still doubt semi can use till 10k km.
she quoted rm197 (or maybe rm198 cant remember) for the engine oil(semi synth) oil filter, gasket & magentrap.

IINM Proton have adopted 10k km OCI even for semi syn. But it's up to you, if you wanna use fully syn for 10k km, or semi syn for 5k km, they will oblige as well.

Depends on how strong is your faith in Proton laugh.gif

But if you high rev often or stuck in traffic jam everyday, change sooner is better than later.

Here is another improvement tip for Proton cars:

Spectacle holder at the driver centre light. IINM, the original perdana had this. I don't think this non-crucial part cost that much.

Will list down other improvements, if I find any. Otherwise there is little to fault about.

BTW, do you guys do balance and alignment after getting car?

Under 1k km can ask Proton to do FOC

I test drove the Suprima today (again), just wanna ask u owners a few questions:

a) the car I tested had some pretty severe wind noise intrusion by 80km/h. Is this normal?

b) when accelerating, there is a pretty noticeable vibration on the throttle pedal.

Just wanna find out if other Suprima experience such issues or just the one I drove hmm.gif

The SA doesnt seem to have any clue regarding to it.. Experienced a similar type of noise on my mums VW Passat before and the SC had reattached the roof lining and some panels, not sure if Proton SC would be as efficient as this. I am just scared that they will say 'Aiyah, this is a Proton, what do you expect?' kinda  thing

Its the boot cover. Just put sponge under it, very easy fix.

Its abit facepalm, though. Even Myvi has a sponge under that board.

But I still wonder how does it work.. If you are stopped at a hill chances are u are already stepping the brake pedal longer than that. So hill assist will still function?

Because my experience with VW cars is that they have auto-hold feature, which I can let go of the brake pedal without engaging hand break when I am on a hill, then to activate the hill assist on the VW I would have to press the brake pedal harder until it gets "sucked/vacummed" in, thats the sign that hill assist is activated..

I presume that the Suprima S does not have the auto-hold feature?
*
Hill assist works like this.

On a slope, you press on a the brake to hold the car.

The line moves, you lift off the brake to press the throttle. Without hill assist, the car will roll backwards in between the time you move your foot from the brakes to the throttle.

With hill assist, the brakes will hold the car for 2-3 seconds AFTER you have lift off the brake pedal, and will release the brake when you press on the throttle.

Now I understand, but I dont see the need of a hill assist on an automatic cars as usually they dont roll back. The ones that rolls back is manual and DSG/dual clutch transmission.. Proton's CVT works that way too?
*
The Preve/Suprima's CVT is similiar to DSG in that it also use a clutch. As you probably understand, like a manual car, while waiting for the clutch to close the car will roll backwards.

Auto cars that won't roll backwards use torque converters instead of clutch. For example, the Inspira uses CVT, but uses a torque converter.
