After setting the AUTO mode you may need to press the air recirculation to on it then off the aircond as usual and when starting the aircond just press the A/C button and don't start it using the Auto button.

I see.. thanks . no other way to disable the auto recirculation?

You want to disable or enable?
When you press the Auto button it will auto disable when the temperature setting is matched.

pm me best deal for cerato 1.6......tq!

I wan set it inside recirculation all the time.. when I press auto always will turn off...when I off my engine my air con is in on position. when I start my car back sometimes it will auto off my recirculation..hmm

Set the temperature then press the auto button. when it turn off the recirculation, just press the recirculation again.
The next time u start the air cond, just press A/C instead of the Auto. the recirculation should be on and will not turn off.

I don't turn off my air cond before stopping the car engine. And let the air cond on by itself automatically every time when I start the engine. Is that alright?

I have been doing that with my precious and current car.. so far no issue but i heard ppl saying not good for battery

thanks. let me try...

Hi again...is there a way to force restart of shut down the head unit? cause sometomes it hangs and can only restart when I restart the car engine

The SD card slot area there's a pin hole (u need to open the SD card slot cover). Push with the provided stylus / push with a pen.

I see...was wondering how to restart..press hold power button also no effect..haha...and my android auto can't connect to my s7 edge even with the ori Samsung cable..seem like very buggy..hope a new firmware update will roll out soon

Same I can't connect the elink to my S7 edge also.

Experimenting 195/65R15 on Cerato with Conti CC6, 3000km already. First time experience aquaplaning on Cerato when using CC6, ESC light turn on when cruising on the straight road during heavy downpour. The ESC light never pop up when im using Primacy 3st on Previous 17" rim.

The comfort indeed improve significantly. Conti CC6 tyre are very soft plus with soft suspension setup on Cerato makes it soak all the bump and uneven raod very well. I notice the road noise is just slight lesser on Conti CC6 compared to the famous silent tyre Primacy 3ST, maybe narrow tyre produce lesser road noise compared to the wider tyre.

Handling as expected need to sacrifice a bit. The steering feeling just about the same compared to 17' rims maybe due to kia EPS already abit numb to begin with. Straight line stability still felt ok since im used to drive less stable car. Got chance to push till 200kmh still no vibration just the normal floaty feeling only. High speed cornering like genting road, karak like road make me less confident because of the tall sidewall make more body roll. But tight corner with some uneven road like cameron - tapah feel slightly better because less bumpy during cornering.

FC improve a bit only, maybe max is 1km every litre. Same goes to acceleration, the responsiveness improved.

Here how cerato look on 15" rim. That time im at Phuket, Thai.

Hi Cerato owners...

Some opinions needed...

I've had a Forte 1.6SX for 7 years... trouble-free ownership generally... only issues not of my doing were a faulty fuel pump sensor few months ago (replaced in a few days), faulty driver door button a year-plus back (also replaced in a few days after I ordered part) and a tendency for a headlamp bulb to blow once in a year or two. Otherwise, been a smooth ride thus far... used to service at Puchong initially, which was ok, then moved to Glenmarie SC, which is very efficient and organised.

So, no issues on after-sales or car itself... I average about 9.5l per 100km, city driving.

The thought of changing car this year has crossed my mind - either the K3 or Hyundai Ionic.

Worry is that if I keep the Forte too long, won't get much on resale... at least now, I can expect arnd RM25k...

Any Cerato K3 issues I should be aware of...?

Thanks for your feedback...

i test drove the ioniq... interior space is smaller than forte tot. Apart from the space, everything else if fine. It seems like my forte is way less trouble than yours.

Thank you... don't get me wrong... my forte was no trouble at all... just in very tiny phases. this is the longest i've kept a car, my previous honda city was more headache.

the only times i couldn't get the Forte on the road was when battery died. i'm very happy with it - but just a nagging feeling now about its age, wear-and-tear parts that will need replacing and resale if i keep it too long.

The boot space of the Ionic bothers me too. But I'm confident about Hyundai after sales as my wife has had an i10 for more than 5 years... no issues.
