Helo Everyone

I am glad I finally found this forum. I brought a 408 in Sept 2012 and generally happy with it’s performance. One issue I have is with the display that shows the KM that can be driven based on the petrol in the tank. When I fill up full tank the display will show about 430 km when I know that it should be about 550km, after driving for a while it will jump to about 470. It never seems to show the right value
I have complained about 3 times when I take the car for service the last 1 ½ years . They say they have check and reset and it should work fine but it never does

Anyone experience this issues and how was it fixed
Appreciate your advice

that display is to only show approximates. it will recalculate itself based on your driving speeds and habits. display showing 430km upon fill up could be the car still performing its calculations. then when you drive off, it will show a more realistic distance to empty - i.e. 470km. if you drive really slow, like for example 80kph ~ 90kph, you will see the meter change to show maybe 480km or 490km or perhaps even 550km! but if you jack rabbit start after pumping and keep driving angry to maybe about 140kph and beyond, it will calculate and give you some very low figure. so, that calculation depends on your driving.

it will never show the correct value as the driving conditions are dynamic and you can keep at it with the service guys... the result will probably be the same. hope it helps but in any case, do have it checked and have the software re-loaded as per SKYjack's advice. if even after doing that it still happens, then you know that it is how the system functions.

hope this helps.

You can try silicone wipers from Dura tech supplies - 03-7805 4001 www.dura-edge.com.my
they only change the rubber piece to silicone at rm for 2 pieces
I changes mine about 2 weeks ago - am happy with it - wipes well and 1 year warranty

My 408 is 2 ½ years and now the aircon has a musty smell when I turn it on – The smell is quiet strong and usually gets less after a while. Anyone experience this ? if yes how was it fixed?
