You will have to judge how long you're going to be idling in traffic light. If it's long, put to N. Both has their own wear.

I can't say for sure, but I always put to N. Otherwise I cannot get the fuel economy I'm currently having.

alright, let me try it out whether N or D drink more fuel based on my driving style... anyway thx bro smile.gif

This car GPS software in one word is simply hopelessly outdated. It is good only in major town n cities. As my wife uses the car mainly in town she doesn't use the GPS at all. At times when I drive it out of town I prefer to use my phablet ( on Sygic or Warez)
When I found out one need to pay to update the software I immediately disregarded it. Proton should at least provide free updates for minimum first 3 years of use.

High five.. Before asking for free updates from Proton, at least they need come with updated map for new car delivery first... Forget about it, boacsh is trying make money on top of Proton sale.. I guess shakehead.gif

Maybe the crack was already there and you did not notice it then. With the rain you mentioned, rust started to appear. Suggest to raise this with your SA. Hope easily fixed.

Suggest to do a thorough check on your car body now, inside and outside, before you see the SA.

Good luck!

Just curious after 2 weeks is SA still responsible on this type of matter? My one superb... I found my front boot scratches(confirmed induce before car delivery) after 3 days and ask for claim, who know my SA said I didn't claim during car delivery so it's my own issue... So no choice I had signed the paperwork and acknowledged car in good condition during car collection so I blame no one... But to b honest if you need very details check during car delivery at least you have to spend few hours there with SA, to me this gonna b bored n shame, dun u agree me? tongue.gif

This morning my neighborhood just come to me and mentioned I just picked the wrong car as this national car just money Wasted, no value at all, stupid company, service after sale suck, no 2nd hand call dealer date to trade this car and bla...bla... bla.... Also ask me to go around the Taman if I can find another car same as mine. I was trying to cut off the conversation n wish to give my inputs but this fellow keep on talking... Fine let this fellow continue till he wish to stop then, n he end up with propose Vios n City. Haha... Now I know this guy have no idea what is car segment meant for N also I sure he have nvr put himself into this new national car before keep bullet'ing... Besides the service after sale, I personal strongly decline his above claimed... So to those who looking for own new car with around this price tag Pls have yourself to test drive all the potential car models regardless what brand is it... Who know you will b fall in love to this new toy after this, remember test drive cost you nothing but help your decision made without regret... Enjoy

This SA is clearly not looking for repeat business from his customers.

My Proton SA would drive to his customer's house and collect the car and send to it the SC for repairs. I know about this from his other customer who discovered the defects right after he collected the car and went home.

Too bad the dealership has since changed ownership and the SA has resigned and is now working in the used car business.
*
Haha guess must b complained by his colleagues that going to trouble the so boss decided to put him in other decision to avoid this... Just kidding but this SA really superb if your said is true n applied to all his customer tongue.gif

mach 5 is only got each 5k interval only.. but i think proton sc only accept semi-EO and fully EO for 10k service.. mach 5 should not included.. your attended service advisor very bad..

yes mach 5 is the engine oil they free for us.. if u want go for 10k interval service, better go for synthium 800 that they selling is rm112.. mach 5 must go back every 5k/6months

and free labor services is only for 1 years period with 3 times... but parts and others are free for 3 years only.. me also just noticed by this morning.. check and see in their system got 3 years free vouchers.. so mean all necessary parts are included.. but labors charged only free 3 times.. really !@#$%^&*..

afterwards, each labor charges around rm69 for minor, rm150 like that for major..
*
just FYI, even i'm using syn 800 now but sifus here strongly suggest me go back SC after 5K mileage even though te SC stated it can last up to 10K... smile.gif

found the rattling sound behind of car.. and i solved it yesterday, its come from rear seat. readjust back the rear seat.. and i found it's quite difficult to bend the seat down.. now solved..

1 more things that i find out is the window controller on driver side, when the driver window close up, the panel over window controller seems will up a little bit too..
[COLOR=red] Same goes mine and first week I complain at SC about the window panel protrude bit out while closing the window. SC just feedback is normal n it design in this way... I just keep my mouth shut  rclxub.gif

part of my review for this Preve Turbo with 2 weeks usage..

1. Performance - consider powerful within 1.6cc engine (of course turbo help some). but this turbo we got is not really trying to boost the power, but its help to boost to carry the heavy body move forward easier only. the fastest speed i tried is 180km/h ( cant go anymore i think).

2. Fuel consumption - so far i think its about ok average.. about 50km/rm10.. depend on right foot. i able to get 8l/100km for my work travel everyday.

3. Stability, handling - is real good. able to corner the out junction with 100km/h but dont try better.. better keep below 80km/h.. suspension is good..

4. Tinted window - the ecotint come with preve turbo is ok average to me for each side.. but front windshield is totally cannot accept.. will find out ecotint shop in my place and try to put another layer on it.. colour starting changed darker a bit. but people still able to see through from outside.

5. HU - so far so good, excellent for the bluetooth calling.. but the worst is the GPS. reception is good, but map is totally outdated. its ok, wont really use it, i will depend on my ipad papago/waze..

6. Seat - consider not so comfort, feel quite solid.. if able to make it softer a bit will be nicer.. but good things is not leather seat, will feel very hot.

Overall, quite like my preve turbo.. just feel sad that i have to buy a new tyre for it after 10 days usage.. very wasted.. for me, if the person not so care about the fuel consumption, i will guarantee recommend this car in this price range.. but if people want better fc, definitely this is not the first choice. so far dont have major problem on my car *touchwood* hopefully dont have in future too..

Can be low battery or loose battery connection.

Manual page 157 states there will be a warning light if the battery is low. Any warning light on the remote key?

Cheerio.

Just check none of the indication on remote control light up... Anyway Thx Sir. I guess yours one should able to control it from far rite say from 3rd floor or fews meter away...

Thx n will confirm again after back home town with the owner manual...

Within 20 m radius.

But also depends on environment, building, etc.

If it has to be very close to the car (say 1 or 2 m), then something is not right.

Cheerio.

Thx for the info, Noted - 20m! Then mine remote control should b something went wrong.. I will heading town someday to get the battery replace if I'm lucky enough or not to get it solved sad.gif

Im facing a dilemma here..
Im going down to Kedah from KL next week.
Estimated 850km for return trip.
Plus mileage now is already 150km.

I got one week of work left which will round up to 200km this week.

By this time i would have passed my 1k service.
SA told me SC would forfeit my 1k service.
But i got no choice but to go for the kedah trip.

Please advise..  doh.gif  doh.gif
*
U may call up SC make appointments n tell them your condition. Sometime they will accept but still depend ur luck n how nice the SA is...if the mileage exceeded not too much shouldn't b a big problem...
