Thanks.

This is what I did this morning after topping up the tank.

Guys, few questions:

1. Does the instant fuel consumption is correct?
2. I'm facing excessive smoke/smell coming into the cabin. This is not normal right?
3. I scarp my rim a bit, any fix for that?

1. I am trying to see how accurate is the reported FC by counterchecking it with my own L added and km traveled.
2. I suggest taking your car to SC ASAP as this can a health danger. It can be engine exhaust and the CO, CO2 can kill. Suggest winding down your windows till this has been resolved.
3. While driving on sealed road? Strange.

Cheerio.

1. I heard that before 1st service, FC is bad and it gets better after service. But when I'm driving 60-80km/h, I get 6.0l/100km on instant, which is good FC right?
2. Fumes not from engine exhaust but from outside. Like bike with terribad smokes passing in front of the car, the smoke can smell from inside.
3. Lol at the sarcasm. Scrapped during parking, not normal driving. Just wondering if there's a way of fixing/reducing the scrapped that happened on the rim

1. fc is good if driving slow
2. is the light on the 3rd knob is lit? the temperature knob

2. No, not at all. I can assure you that the smell comes from outside. If I pass by a garbage area, I will smell the garbage smell in the cabin.

1. Better not use instant FC as your overall FC as instant FC can vary from 0 to 30 L/100km. Proton stated 6.6L/100km as their Preve FC. So good to see that at times it can achieve that.
2. Good to know that it is not from the engine exhaust.
3. I see. I thought your RIM damage was due to unsealed road with gravels hitting the rim. I can relate to your parking incident where the rim got damaged. Preve body is wider than Wira and the driver's location is closer to the front. Thus Preve's orientation/location can be a problem when parking or turning left at a T junction. My rear left wheel hit the road concrete barrier when existing at a T junction after breakfast with my wife. Now I pay more attention and care in parking and turning left.

1. Judging the fuel economy from the money you spend to pay for petrol at the pump station, weekly or monthly, may be better indication that basing on the FC instantaneous reading of the vehicle. Don't know how accurate is the digital instantaneous FC meter of the vehicle as I find it weird that it shows 0L/100km when the car is stationary (should be around 1L +/-).

2. Assuming the setting of the air circulation of your car is at the right position(set to internal circulation rather than having outside air flowing into your car), then chances are something is wrong with the air filter, and some adjustment to it is required.

I think Vikneswaranc has hit the nail on the head. The light on the 3rd knob indicates that air is recirculated in the car. If the light is not on, then it indicates that air from outside is fed into the car. Thus you get the smell when you pass by that area.

Exactly thats my point.. because he mentioned that even if a bike passed by, the smell comes in the car..make sure u press the 3rd knob and the light have to be lit.

My sis who drove Persona 'gives' instruction on how to park. I parked at the same spot 3 times successfully but when she gave the instructions, I scrapped the rim to the side barrier

1. According to the manual book, if the FC is less than 3L/100km, it will show 0L/100km. That is what I read

I will check further more on this. I may/may not turn on the third knob lights on while driving (I didn't even know what it does ). Will give you all an update tonight. Thanks for attending my questions. Newbie with Preve as first car

FC i would suggest people to calculate by it own.. wait until fuel indicator light up, then go refill petrol and reset the TRIP A, B, C.. remember the price you refill example RM50. See how many km u can lasts for the rm50 petrol.

if more than 250km i would say not bad fc = RM10= 50km+.

for me moving on highway always, got jam too.. can easily get RM10=60km+..

anyone here do modify the LED position lamp to DRL? i heard and saw people said just need add 1 socket to make it brighter.. i want to know what is the price to do that, and any location from penang. thanks.

Just update, checked my Preve IAFM MT 2014 ANCAP Version, if do not wear seatbelt at passenger side, the seatbelt indicator will blink and there is beeping sound while car moving above 20kmh.

Interesting but ppl say will void Headlamp warranty
Still dare not to try

oh really? i just simply got interesting to ask the price. if the price not really expensive i willing to try.. but if expensive i will left it.. coz my priority is want to buy 2 car video recorder, reverse camera, led to DRL.

importantly is car video recorder first.. reverse camera will be second.. DRL this is add on if found price ok..

car video recorder, my uncle will buy 1 as gift to me.. so i just need buy 1 more for rear video recorder.. i have to wait until national day much more free to go shopping and look around this device..

reverse camera is around rm300 i do asked the price..

to maintain the car everything very costly. LOL.. much expensive than have a gf.

Out of curiosity, I checked the engine oil dip stick to see what was the level and how clean was the oil.

a. After some 300 km, the oil is still very clean, clear and light yellowish (like urine!)
b. There is no L and H markings on the dip stick, just 2 dents near the bottom end. I assume these are the L & H markings. Surprised that the gap between the L & H is rather small, about an inch only.
c. The oil level in my Preve is about 1.5 cm above H. Overfilling with oil can cause problems and I hope the slight excess is not a problem. Air entrainment, difficulty in pumping the oil to where it is needed, etc. If you are still waiting for your 1000 km service, check your oil level and see if it is also slightly above the H marking.

Cheerio.

Also have the front and reverse cameras in my mind. Please give me some feedback after you have them for some weeks.

Thanks.

mine is want to get front and back video recorder for safety purpose.. if got any accident or what, at least got video recording for proofing. reverse camera is add on safety while reversing.

budget for car video recorder is around rm300~500 each..

reverse camera, ask 1 car accessories shop that i bought red carpet is RM300 included installation all..

Many china made cameras available. They may work for some time but rosak after a few weeks/months. Thus like to have some feedback from users.

For reverse, why not Proton? Suprimo has reverse camera and they can install for Preve on request, I think.
