3. My car seems to throttle when I'm going down a steep downhill slope?? I'm not stepping the throttle and lightly stepping on the brake. I experience this everyday on a certain slope that I've to pass when leaving for work, not on other slopes.

5. There's a weird light tapping noise from somewhere in the back that just came up three days ago, and only when I'm driving so I can't make out where it's coming from as I need to focus on driving.
Just my 2 cents.

3. I hope you mean by the car RPM went up when going down steep downhill slope. This is a feature comes with the car, called engine braking if not mistaken. This engine braking is done by shifting down gear, trying to slow down the vehicle when going downhill slope, for safety purpose.

5. It might be the noise of the back seat hook metal hitting. Bring down the two back seats and close it back tightly, and see if the noise will go away. Remember to pull out the seat belt before you close the back seats.

maybe the SA give extra tint to ur car? Some SA does that. Premium does comes with ecotint as far as i know..
I think I got "cheated", as my premium spec does not come with EcoTint film, just normal safety film.
So as a reminder for future buyer, ask your SA and secure the EcoTint film when purchasing premium spec.

Check the warranty card first.
Warranty card attached.

QUOTE(mengsuan @ Aug 17 2015, 05:06 PM)
I don't see how your tint can be cheated away. Vendor installation is part of production line, not something promised by salesman.
If the tint is part of the production line, then how come I have a different tint than other?
Also, if I remembered correctly, my SA told me that after they got the car, need to do tinting and other stuffs before can pass the car to me.
From what my SA said, it sounds like the tint is after production job.

I suggest you to call Proton Careline, perhaps there are changes to the CFE package, before you go and bombard your SA.

Maybe Proton changed vendor from Ecotint to this brand, seeing there's a tag saying it's an approved vendor.
*
Not sure if they have changed the package for the CFE version.

I took my car to service center to service, while waiting for service to complete, I took a look at some unsold Preve CFE parking at the sales branch there, I noticed that some of those cars has EcoTint label/paper hanging at the windscreen rear mirror. I would presume that those cars some together with EcoTint film, because I saw some instructions on the label/paper if not mistaken.

Yes mine came with it and a warranty card with serial number. You should just call the Careline and find out.

I have no much confident with this tint. Past experience speaking that the Proton Persona that I drove before for six years has this Safetint installed. The problem I had with the tint was, the tint started to have very obvious waves like pattern and bubbles, on the third year.

I did not bother to claim any warranty on that film and decided to change to other brand's film.

EcoTint should be a good tint, just to clarify that I was referring to Safetint on my previous post.

If anything, I believe Safetint installed by your sales advisor as extra package. Some salesmen does offer buyer for extra tint, on top of Ecotint.

And I believe Preve Premium still with Ecotint.
*
It will be good if that is the case.
If my Preve Premium has EcoTint installed, I should have EcoTint warranty card, but I do not have that.

Also after I got my car, my SA offer me if I want to add an extra tint on top of the current tint I have. With this offer it sounds like the current tint is only one layer.

one simple method to wind up the window if you face the issue of power window that trigger anti trap.

the button to wind up the window, there are 2 stage.. 1st stage, pull lighter will manual pull up.. 2nd stage, pull up all the way, will trigger window auto wind up until it stop (but this will trigger anti trap if something blocking)..

so your case will be pull 2nd stage, even there is nothing, but trigger anti trap.. so to counter it, just pull lightly with 1st stage.. i faced once before after i got my car.. but until now no more..
*
I was about to make the exact reply yesterday.
I also discovered there are two stages of power windows pull switch after I have such anti-trap problem.

hi guys, i want ask something.
my preve got problem which is radiator fan still on after turning off the engine.
Why this happen?
anyone experience this problem before?
*
Normal, mine has it also.
The radiator fan spinning for a while after engine has been turn off, this is to further cool down the radiator for engine protection from heat.

This is a feature, and exist in most turbo vehicles, especially pickup truck or 4x4 truck.

The radiator fan on my preve spin occasionally for not more than a minute after engine off.

Take out the GPS map SD card while your player is turnoff?

Stock tyre lo. I havent change the ori tyre yet.

I remember i read it somewhere in the thread got ppl face this issue too. But dont know solve already or not.

Road design comes with cross slope, to let the rain water flow to the side of the road to prevent water pool on the road.

Therefore the road will have certain slope, and that's why car will move to the left of the road slowly when you drive it hands free after you keep the steering straight.

I haven't changed my spark plugs yet (4 years) and I still have no power problem. Going for 80k service next month.

Yours is turbo version?
Turbo version stock spark plug I believed is iridium one, which has lifespan capable of that long.

When you say duplicate a new spare key, do you mean the physical key with the remote together?

Mine also premium version. I did not do the key duplication before.
Last time when I went to a locksmith to duplicate my main house door key, the locksmith spotted my car key and say he can duplicate this type of key (without mentioning physical key or both).

Normally tyre thread left how many millimeters thickness then need to change?
Any specific tyre model to recommend? Eyeing on Pilot Sport 4 when my current tyres are due.

Also, my Blaupunkt HU touch screen got problem, press at certain point but register at another point, most likely due to heat from sunlight exposure.
I have tried to use the recalibration but the it just show me never ending recalibration.
Not sure if this touch screen issue can be fixed, if not, I want to change to another HU, prefer Android type HU.
