when's the last time you change the battery?
did you disconnect the battery on weekdays?
if you're really up to it, get century battery.
expensive yet long lasting

this is the original battery from proton.

bought my car from proton tendered cars last year, registered 2015..

I never disconnect the battery though, since i wud drive it around to warm the engine, but full use on weekend driving around town.

century battery how much? 300++?

anyway, if i were to change the battery, need special procedure or something? or just swap normally?

"Low Battery" sign when engine cranking is a warning that your battery getting low voltage when cranking. That normal for most car (got battery over 18 months) that not have Voltage Stabilizer. If you installed VS, the device can support battery from getting low voltage when cranking. Best way to identify battery condition for free maintenance battery by using battery analyzer, that can measure - SoH, SoC & internal resistance (impedance). Other option, try measure battery voltage after engine cold at night & battery voltage before start at next day morning. Most practically, battery voltage at night should be 12.7v to up, battery voltage at next day morning not drop less than 12.2v.

I think this might be the case with my car, once, last Wednesday.

Will send it out to proton service center tomorrow, might have something to do with my current problem, where it shows BRAKE LAMP error.

The bulb is ok, maybe the wiring or something.

How to know brake lamp error? Any sign CEL (Check Engine Light)?
*
It shows "check stop lamp" all the time.

Actually, the lamp is ok, but something wrong with the sensor i think

1. Check 3rd brake light, ask someone to holding brake pedal and you look at back side.
2. If you already replace bulb before, please use a same power consumption (W) bulb. Example philips 16w replace by 16w osram.
3. In some situation after replace bulb, need to reset ecu if check stop lamp still display.
4. Another alternative, use scan tool to scanning ABCM ( Advanced Body Control Module ) problem.

its actually the right brake lamp...already tested like u suggest, when the warning is up, the brake light didn't light up...but when the warning is off, the light is ok...

today wanna take it to service center to check it out, but the car suddenly ok pulak, no show warning, knn

recently i just changed to michellin ps4, rm350/pcs

for me safety n comfortable is number 1.. although the noise didnt reduCe much due to bad road surface and also bad soundproof on the car.
*
safety? during bad weather or handling?

I like preve cornering capability so, best traction on wet/dry is what I'm looking for

Batt too low.. replace it. CEL popup due to ECU detected abnormal running engine system. Better option, get obd2 scanner.

Replaced the car and key battery this morning, everything went back to normal. Should i go to car shop to check the ECU or anything??

hey, have u guys ever experienced sound coming from the aircond, the sound like someone blowing gas inside?

its not hissing, its like the sound of gas release...

I noticed this when I'm driving at high speed, and it will happen every 10sec

at first I thought it was my mother exhaling air from sleeping behind, then soon I realized its coming from the aircond

True, if really compare to Vios those our Preve is really no match on comfort. But handling good mah.
So if 16inch stock size already in that situation, Let imaging upgrade to 17 and thinner sidewall...

got Honda city at home n preve too...handling and driving experience, preve wins...but comfort wise, city is better, but, my parents prefer to ride my preve for long distance

QUOTE(mr_geforce @ May 29 2020, 10:56 AM)
hnghhhhhhh. i use it to attack corner very well. unfortunately the comfortablity is bad.

not that bad la, tongue.gif

but yes, cornering with preve will smoke those ricer vios/city/almari
