Btw I had nvr tried before during drive mode :-) you want RPM go up to redline? just to protect your engine and gearbox i guess.. you may test your top speed in somewhere very straight road.. see your RPM whether can over 3.5k rpm..

Thx all. Not really need the higher rpm reading. Just want to make sure this is normal and won't affected during necessary accelating while driving. Thx again :-)

Thx again :-) normally 2k rpm around 90~100km/h.. 2.5k = 110km~120km.. after that should be 0.5k rpm to go up 10km/h.. seldom drive fast.. so not really know about that.. i drive 90~100km/h most of time just in rpm 2k where turbo just kick in..

Well the areas that I frequent don't really have many big ramps or bumpers, bonus to that. But when the time comes, I'll have to do the slow one-front tyre maneuver

Does anyone here experience this phenomenon. Whenever you start your engine, the hazard lights come on automatically. I then need to press the hazard light button to switch the hazard lights off. It does not happen every time I switch on the engine. Maybe once in every 5 times. For a clearer picture, the hazard light switch is as below.  The hazard lights :-

I don't consider it to be a problem, just a quirk as my old Mitsubishi also had this issue.

I too don't consider it a MAJOR problem hence I did not pursue it much although I once filed a complaint at the service centre. They don't have a clue about the problem hence the problem was not fixed.

Last time it happened was early this year so all is well.

For a clearer picture, the hazard light switch is as below.  The hazard lights :-  the way you start the car is wrong, you must follow 3 step rules: that is press the button twice, until the self-check light at odometer switch off, press brake pedal and push the button again.
