From the previous thread:
For the auto power window - I can trigger the power window to wind down automatically, but could I do similarly for winding up the window?
Thanks.

QUOTE(annas473 @ Feb 5 2015, 01:28 PM)
for Premium version, the power window can wind down and up automatically. (confirm with Iriz Community Malaysia)
for Exec, wind up manually.
for Standard,
unsure. same as Exec. (thanks to

2. CVT gear lag (credit to

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
Q. You have mentioned that the clutch is almost completely open while standing still with D engaged, is this the prime reason of slight lagging when slowly pressing the gas to move?
A. Yes, if you release the brake and im
mediately press the gas, this is the case. It is always better not to press the gas immediately unless you have to (uphill), you will notive less delay. That it isn't superagressive at launch (if you would mean this by lag) is calibration, it isto preserve both engine and CVT. it is called torque reduction, the engines power delivery is minimized, although full trottle.
as punch representative reply,in simple term,when u r already in D,let the car crawl 1st on its own before apply throttle,unless the situation demand it.
if u are at neutral, engage to D a bit earlier, maybe half a second than normal at/torque converter cvt to let the clutch builds its pressure.
but dont expect the rpm will raise hand in hand with speed during stop n go situation cuz its clutch type cvt,n it does behave like manual trans.
low speed jerking will.be lesser overtime,but it wont completely gone.

Hmm. First day of usage. Find it quite noisy inside. Don't know is it engine or cvt droning sound.
U guys same too?
QUOTE(yadea @ Feb 7 2015, 11:00 PM)
Most people will say CVT droning. Engine should be quiet unless u drive at high rpm.
QUOTE(AbgRZ @ Feb 8 2015, 12:08 PM)
its engine sound..... typical proton engine sound more "kasar"...... but the power delivery smoother than exora bold (own one), expecially at low speed.... no more jerking, whoever drive exora bold knows what i mean.
CVT droning for me quite minimal.... x perasan pun, unless you floor the pedal like racing car. The way to drive CVT is to tekan your pedal until certain rpm, then just wait the car to gain speed gradually. do not force the CVT GB like conventional GB, it just make your FC even worse.

Agree. Pin it. Washer problem can happen on front and back hose. Immediate solution is to cable tie it. Front part need disassemble the whole plastic plate . Back part only break light
Also.
How to test? Unfortunately . Use it as normal ba. If it wants to tanggal. It will tanggal

Hi guys, I own a proton iriz 2014 premium. When I was driving today, the hu suddenly show an alarm indicator. I tried restarting the hu and it's still the same. When can go wrong with my car

QUOTE(Piros @ Mar 25 2015, 03:40 PM)
Don't know, I kena that once. Can't navigate, but the radio was playing. Restarted the HU didn't work, on off the engine didn't work either, then off the engine. left the car at my parking, next morning start the car, ok liao. From that faithful day till today, I haven't kena the alarm thingy anymore on my HU.
I think this matter settle already here

try switch on radio, goes to setting, and turn off TA aka Traffic Announcement.
No more alarm or any other warning from radio broadcast.

Unlock these clips first then pull in the direction of the arrow. Beware that at the left side of the cover there is overlapping plastic(cover's plastic is held in by the other plastic). Be gentle when doing this.

QUOTE(JPLim @ Jun 24 2015, 08:55 PM)
Some update for my CVT issue to share here. My service center foreman has helped me to send the car to JB Plentong branch sc on my behalf. After two days investigation, Plentong sc concluded that that's a problem with my secondary pulley sensor based on cvt error code that they have obtained from TCU. Then, they told my dad to drive the car back and they will call us for sensor replacement once they obtain the new sensor.
I'm a bit doubtful about the faulty sensor conclusion as my car was perfectly okay before the update of TCU firmware. So, I've written an email to Punch Powertrain Malaysia yesterday for seeking their advice. Today, I've received Punch Powertrain Malaysia reply (was surprised with their super fast action :-) ). According to Punch Powertrain, the CVT gearbox used in 2014 and 2015 batches are different!!! There's no new firmware update needed for 2015 batch. If the 2015 batch car TCU was flashed with 2014 CVT TCU firmware (as in my case), the CVT warning will be triggered due to different gearbox types. Most likely, it's not needed to change my secondary pulley sensor :-S I've attached the snapshot of his reply.
I'll go to sc again on coming Monday to verify that (still on business trip in Taiwan till Saturday). Will update you guys after my trip!
Lesson learnt here: Proton SC staffs are not well trained and it's always good to seek advice from expert! For those 2015 Iriz car owners, it's not needed to update TCU firmware!!!

This is how it's done, in case you encounter this magical sound from the back of your Iriz:
The housing can be taken off just by pulling it downward when the rear hatch is opened.

QUOTE(crayzee @ Feb 11 2016, 08:48 PM)
I am having intermittent rattling at the passenger side dashboard. Although not annoying compared to steering rattle but i decided to try diy myself because i feel a little bit adventerous today

For those who are having some kind of rattling sound in the passenger airbag area can try to insert a sponge via the A pillar dash cover. Remove the cover 1st by using a screw driver wrapped with cloth and pry it out. Put your hand inside.
See the black wire? Use the left hand to trace the wire as far inside as possible. Dont pull it. I think this is reverse camera or rear wiper cable. You can try and wiggle the wires and it is hitting the the dashboard. I've insert a sponge and wedge it in between. It doesnt rattle now.
QUOTE(blazejason @ Jan 7 2016, 12:23 PM)
This is the my defect list, AGAIN for my Proton Iriz Premium 1.6
01. A pillars, both sides are making noise.
- I'm super sure it's from the inside because when the car moves and stop (slow moving in traffic), when I lightly touch on the A pillar (plastic cover thing), i can feel that there is something knocking inside, when you hold it firmly, the sound will gone.
02. Knocking sound and nyek nyek sound in dashboard area, in front of passenger seat
- some knocking sound can be heard, but once you put some pressure on it, the sound is gone. But there are still have nyek nyek sound.
03. Heavy knocking sound between the windscreen and dashboard area, in front of passenger seat, behind touch screen area, and behind HUD
- Knocking sound can be heard when you are going through the yellow lines on the road that ask you to slow down your car, or any humps and uneven road surface
04. Rat noise behind touch screen unit
- Mostly appears during hard turns, especially U-turn. some other times, it will also appear, but seldom.
05. Glove box is not align properly after closed
- Popular issue, still not fixed since 1st service
06. Front passenger door closing sounds cheap, definitely it sounds different than the others
07. Driver's door is making noise
- Making noise when accelerator pedal is pushed. Not just only that, listen to music will also makes the door sing (any car vibration will make them sing basically)
08. Water leaks in from the top of the driver's door
09. Engine vibrates a lot
10. Rear passenger door (behind driver's seat) got knocking sound
- New Issue, HURRAY!
11. Spoiler is loose/shake, whatever you wanna call it
- Drive over uneven road surface, close the boot door, spoiler will make noise
12. Faulty reverse sensor
- When on reverse, it suddenly beep for nothing, seems that it only happens to the sensor on the right (looking from the screen). Sometimes the reverse camera just dont work even the butt is just 5CM away from the butt from the another car.
All these issues are not listed at the 1st post, I wonder how many people manage to fix all of these.
Long time ago, i heard someone fixed the noise after they sent in to do soundproofing for their Iriz?
Any ideas, and solutions, please share.................
