Question for City (2009-2013YM)
======================
What if we lock the car using alarm, and then open the car using key?

Would the alarm trigger?
If yes, how to disable the alarm?

Thanks.

not sure on the questions.
i found a pdf manual for jazz..maybe it is similar. go read page 234
from what i understand from the manual, it should not.

Mine is the 2011 model and it will not

apparently when u use the key to open, it will trigger the unlock on the alarm ... vice versa when u lock it with the key

unlike the old school cars or alarm, the lock and unlock option is only via the remote

how old is your car? am thinking to replace all absorber but not sure if its really necessary.. mine feel a bit soft but still bearable.. mine is 2010 model..

Same as urs.. 2010 model.. It is not necessary but you definitely will feel the ride is harsher now. Once you replaced it, original ride and handling will be restored.

yes it will, it will trigger the alarm if u lock the car with your remote and unlock it using your key
do you mean how to disable the alarm if it triggered?
as in the manual,it only can be disable through your remote
and i have done a test before, lock the car with remote and unlock it with key
the alarm triggered and i try to start the car though that it will disable the alarm
but unfortunately even the car started the alarm still shouting there

Mind to share how you solved the issue?

Just curious, how old is your car and what's your mileage so far?

Mine is on its 3rd year, milage already 70k. Huk huk..

No major issue so far, just stater motor sometimes a bit sluggish to start.

The rest just normal wear & tear, just a bit of random noises inside the HU but I think if I swap the HU it will be fine.

I'm seriously considering ditching the warranty and service outside after 100k. :/

i am not sure what else can stop the alarm other than the remote
as the manual only said that the alarm only can be disable after triggered by using remote only

mine 2012 version will triggered the alarm if i lock it with remote and unlock it with key
even i lock it with the key, it will also activate the alarm same as locking using remote

4 years plus..mileage almost 115k.
No major issue also..very rare starter issue.. last time due to weak battery. Steering dah peeled off sikit2

Just replace brake pad..but now ada squeaky sound when braking

By the wat warranty only up to 3 years or 100k whichever come first

The 2012 model is 5 years @ unlimited mileage. They really know how to lock their customer in.

Since yours is out of warranty period, how often did you service (5k, 7k, 10k? or 15k ) and how much roughly for minor oil change?

My warranty is over as i am driving a 2010 model.. I still service my car at Honda. I will change oil at every 8-10k kilometer but i am using the 5W40 fully synthetic oil. Current mileage only 51k

owh tak best nya...haha..
right now still send to honda sc and still follow their service schedule 5k. i love my car..haha
dun have the courage yet to send for outside service
now only ask for oil change and oil filter change. usually 5w30, damage still 200+ if i am not mistaken. air filter use k&n, pollen filter buy from lowyat.

How old is your car? Close to 3 years?

I would use fully synthetic as well if they allow me to change every 10k.

Yea, the unlimited mileage really tempting but you need to send to Honda until your warranty expires. I wouldn't mind if they allow a 10k service interval. 5k interval is like visiting them every 1.5 month for me. All new City 2014 and Civic is already using 10k interval.

Their labour charge is too damn expensive lah, even minor service pun RM200+

I'm using K&N as well, pollen filter will buy from lowyat too once the time comes. haven't replaced mine yet (maybe thats why my aircond smells funny?)

Right now I only do major service and oil change with them. So far warranty still intact. Haha.

I think the bulk of the still active folks in thei thread would have had the car for bout 3 - 4 years ... some 5. Mine is the 2011 unit and warranty over earlier this year. I have since serviced outside and never been back to SC. Using Liqui Moly MOS2 10-40 and changes it every 5k.

My question is you guys following the service regime as from the service center schedule? like timed changes of the other parts like brake oil, atf, and misc?

i am maintaining the 5k km service interval, 20k ATF and i am on KNN air filter.

The only thing pending to be changed is the petrol filter which cost bout 300 - 400 i think last quoted from my mechanic. and next service change brake oil and spark plug perhaps

4 years and 6 months already.. Time to replace the shocks absorber also since it is getting soft.

seems that this model (2012) has bad shifting comfort on low speed (1st gear to 2nd gear)... any tips to smoothen it out?

It spans from the 2009 till 2013 model. Shifting is not as smooth if compared to Almera & Vios.. Have to live with it. Maybe changing ATF fluid at every 30,000km might help instead of the manufacturer's recommended 60,000km interval.
