I found the random beep sound is because last times sensor beeping not yet finish, then we switch back to neutral gear. While next times u switch back reverse gear then it continuous the previous beep sound.
This is what I guess.

Erm, for me is not really hard to switch 1st / reverse.
I like the feel of preve gear switching hehe.... although a bit tight.

So wonder is it normal? did u ask SC?
No warning sound is dangerous, people pass by totally no idea I'm reversing unless they saw my reverse light.

If you feel the gear stick of your vehicle is difficult to shift, it may be faulty. You can complain and have it checked and replaced with a new one. I have my gearstick replaced by the vendor as it was really hard to shift when I received the car. They have confirmed the gearstick of my vehicle to be faulty.

Having said that, the gearstick of the Preve Turbo is inherently stiff and does not shift as smoothly as most transmissions in Japanese(and continental) vehicles.

i would say mostly car will got sound even new camry when u press pedal a bit.. just depend how far u can accept..

Yes, there will be sound from any car when the vehicle is accelerating, but the sound from the Preve (Turbo) is audibly and clearly louder than most Japanese. I am sure the Camry will be much quieter than the Preve during acceleration. The low frequency drone from the Preve Turbo is very prominent. Almost any colleagues who drive Japanese or continental cars will comment on the loud engine of my Preve Turbo when they sit in it.

The Nissan Sylphy and Ford Focus are much quieter than the Preve TUrbo during acceleration. Quite a significant difference really.

Absolutely no front seat sound on my wife's Preve CFE just touching a year old
The only issue we had with the car was a slight creaking sound at back seat. In its first week was recticified within an hour at service center . Till today no more such sound
And all the other problems as reported here we do not faced too .
Sometimes issues are due to different batches of supporting materials . If it is design issue all cars will be affected

Thanks for the information. Much appreciated. Guess my case is an isolated case then. Will have to get the vehicle to the service centre to sort it out soon.

Cheers.

LOL, I've the same issue as you, then told SC, they seem configure something but not sure what's that. Because while I told the SA, he say is normal to preve, nth can do. then I watch the technician take computer link to my car for configuration. After that the pickup is much better. Previously 1st gear need 1.2 - 1.5k only can move. But now 0.7k rpm can move the car already.
But my jerking problem seem still there. While idling there's a chance my engine jerking and like going mati. cry.gif
Try my best communicate with SA here, but seem he not really understand.

Another thing, my balance run also after back from SC= =wonder is their mistake or what.
If full car balancing I think is not cheap. Thinking to ask them for free.
Don't know is possible or not  tongue.gif
I got the same issue sweat.gif
Any solution yet?
What I do is restart the player, or reconnect phone. Usually restart player.
Both can solve the issue.
bro, as I estimated, I think for light user like me couldn't finish all the free service voucher within 36 months. if using 5k EO(3months) for first 3 service then the rest 10k EO(6months).
Any idea how to optimize the usage?
Due to the SA suggest, so I use MACH5 for my 1st service. Damn heavy for preve to use Mineral Oil. cry.gif
My rim got scratch a bit also. Just worry will it become rusty?
Thinking solution yet, if don't care the looks, I plan to use wetsand to make it smooth then find some touch up paint for it. Just need to find a similar color code for our rim.
icon_question.gif Anyone know the color code of our rim?? icon_question.gif
Any photo to share how to solve rear seat?
My seem solved after back from SC, but I dare not to fold it down again.
Worry can't lock properly by myself.
SA claim that I didn't lock hard enough although I really lock very hard already.
*
hmm.. when u want fold down, u must press the button on rear seat.. if locked properly, the button should be feel hard press.. if not locked properly, button is easily to press only.. when u want fold back, u just push back the seat with a bit power.. make sure the button is become steady/hard when try to press.. u can buy any black tape to tape on the steel over there if u still found got some sound.

if u compare with sylphy, focus,camry (only sit old sylphy and new camry), ya they really quieter than preve.. at least for my experience, i do drive honda civic, sit as passenger in new vios and city.. compare these quite famous car in malaysia, from standstill and half press the oil pedal for accelerate, i would say all these cars more or less same with preve only.. ya preve is not quiet.. but same as others.. probably soundproof materials.. hmm but probably definition of loudness of each other is different.. cant comment much.. hahaha..

but so far, i think rreally entitled to quiet, new camry, prius C (which i really experienced before).

Sorry to hear about your Close Encounter of the RIM Kind.

New driver (P plate) with a Preve! My salute to you! I have been driving for so many years now and only now upgraded to Preve. Pai-say lah.

hi guys. hopefully u guys being taught by sa correct way of starting the engine bcoz wrongly starting procedure can.cause electronic glitch.may causing or effecting the abcm module which can cause some warnings light come out.

remember
1.make sure gear is at P.
2. insert key to key fob untill clicking.
3. push start button once (dont push ur footbrake yet). amber light will appear.
4.push ur footbrake. u will see green light at push start button.
5.push start more than 1 second,but release immediately when the engine start.(around 2 second)

its just limitation of conti ecu communicating with abcm n all bosch equipments.

and remember to push the button 1st to turn off the engine n push the key into key fob slot to inject it out. dont just pull it out. k.

Good tips on starting n switching off. My friend disregard all these n simply start the car each time. One day he couldn't start the car. When he couldn't even tell the service tech how he always start it he was warned about the correct procedure. He was told Incorrect starting procedures consistently will bring havoc to the electronics n will cause such problems. He was told that some users also faced unable to switch off engine too due to consistent incorrect procedures to start/off engine.

Need advice sifu mat79,

I thought the best proper way to start engine is ACC -> ON -> press brake + start button.

If I didn't misunderstood you, proper start engine is ACC -> press brake + start button.

Sometimes I accidentally start engine immediately press brake + start button which is practice by other brand car with push start button. Will it cause any damage to the car system?

TQ in advance sifu mat97 and Happy Merdeka day.

Interesting.

The head of my service center told me this 3 steps procedure.

1 Press foot brake
2 Insert the FOB
3 Press the start button

To stop, just do the same thing but in reverse order.

Mind telling me where did you get the procedure? May need to change my procedure if mine is wrong! Ha.

Cheerio.

got it from rnd n proreka since proreka design the system.

actually all sales advisor did undergo the training n supposed to teach the customer the correct way of start sop.

its rnd fault actually when they didnt assume that customer wont using the incorrect start sop since sales advisor supposed to do so,but it seems they taken this lightly.

rnd aware of this when some preve n suprima had abcm problem,causing warning light appear n car wont start. padt didnt show any wrong,at 1st,they were clueless since during testing,such problem didnt appear. but of course thr rnd team use correct start sop every time.

and actually the service advisor already.being inform to check.back.with owners.when they send their car for servicing.

hopefully they will do it.

hope this.will help all preve n.suprima owners

insert key
push start button once,amber light on
press brake(immediately light at start button turn from amber to green)
push start button to start the engine

it may cause confusion with the sensors if wrongly start it.

Many thanks to our in-house Preve expert!

I raised a few pointers a few days ago. Hope that you can help me with the remaining questions below.

(page numbers are the manual page numbers)

GG
page 142 - Where is connection 4 as shown in the diagram? I thought point 4 is the negative terminal of the car battery. That is how I have been using the jumper cable connection. Same way my Proton service guy has done for me in the past. I think this is to avoid igniting the hydrogen gas from the car battery on connecting the jumper cable. Is this 100% mandatory?

II
page 165 " Proton recommends that you rotate your tyres approximately every 20,000 km."
==> I assume that at around 40,000 km, replace all 4 tyres with new ones. Right? Of course, replace the ones with high worn out on the threads earlier if needed.

JJ
Manual states checking for water drainage after cleaning or driving in heavy rain. Cannot remember the page now. Like to know where are the drainage points that I need to check? Those small holes on the door body bottom?


Many thanks!
