just want some insight from fellow bro. do we need to turn off the auto hold each time we fresh start the car? coz got one time i didn't off and the car refused to move with the auto hold on.

Nah man. It’s on all the time and I don’t touch it even between engine starts. Not sure what you mean by car refusing to move… simply tap on the gas pedal and it should disengage the brakes that were engaged by brake hold.

What  are the RS owner 's 10k mileage  service fee like? mine is due next month although i have only done 3.8k mileage so far.

Refer to the official maintenance schedule: https://www.honda.com.my/doc/maintenance/2565

The price at the bottom is exclusive of Engine Oil & Oil Filter replacement for parts and labor. This is basically what you'd get at the service centers when you demand they only give you the "basic package". Ignore all the additional stuff they try to tack on, such as engine bay cleaning, tire rotation, etc.

My low tire pressure indicator popped up today and scared me to death… went to petrol station right away to top up all four tires. Visually all looked fine and all were around same pressure, so not sure why the alert tripped…

Will observe over the next few days and see if one of them drops more than the rest

Update a week later: all good, probably just under inflation after so long never pump.

What tyre pressure u put after that sign pop up
*
I put all four sides 240 kPa coz that's what the tire shop I went to to change Toyo Proxes to Michelin Primacy SUV+ told me to do.

QUOTE(fazleysyam @ Jun 30 2025, 11:02 AM)
no need to worry if only the indicator appeared. usually it will appear if one of the tyre pressure is below threshold. however not sure the threshold. if it has been a while since u last pump the air, then its normal.

the only time u need to worry is when the warning appeared, followed with a flat tyre sound. hehe
*
Yeah... it's indeed been a long time since I pumped. When checked at the petrol station, they were all around 205–209 kPa when they should be 240.

Hello guys, anyone got good wireless dongle (Android auto) recommendation for CRV G5 (or G5.5)?

Also for pump tyre, the car door label mention front and behind tyre need to pump different pressure?
*
I went to change tyres to Michelin Primacy SUV+ and the shop told me 240kPA all four sides settle, so I've been doing that... what's the door jamb recommendation again? 230 front and 210 rear?

All tyres shops always follow same KPAs on all sides for their convenience and lots of older vehicles are balanced on the front and rear (2006 Civic FD for eg).

However if you noticed, most of the newer cars are not balance in front and rear anymore, the front heavier engine simply require more pressures than the rear to create a balanced pressure. The heavier the front, the higher the pressure differences between the front and rear.

So I would suggest to follow car manufacturer tyre pressure specs. Eg. if front is 220, rear 210, I usually pump 230 front and rear 220, following the difference between the front and rear. It will further reduce the wear in front tyres (front will always wear out faster than rear) vs tyre shop balanced pressures that worked against the car manufacturer recommendation. It is ok to have balance pressure, just the front will wear out even faster than it was supposed to.
*
Hmm ok interesting, thanks for your insight. I'll adjust next time I pump and see if it makes a difference. Currently all 240 kPa works well for me, very comfy ride.

I changed on day one so basically traded in factory Toyo all new, and only topped up 250 per tire to change all. Yes, it’s the perfect tire for our car, no questions about it if you can afford.

Anyone got their high-pressure fuel pump inspected or replaced yet? I just made an appointment in August for my usual servicing, and requested that they also do the recall checks together.

I was surprised when the staff said likely no need to leave overnight because they're just checking and not replacing... but according to Paul Tan website (can't link, sorry) Honda Malaysia is recalling our cars to change the high-pressure fuel pumps as a precautionary measure. So which one is it?

Strange. My SC mentioned that it will be replaced. for CRV Hybrid even have to leave 1 day for some run-in procedure, unlike for my FC which doesnt require any run-in.
to bad the earliest available date for this replacement is in Nov 2025  bangwall.gif  bangwall.gif

Ah, maybe they just check for me and will order parts for replacement if needed? Problem is I don't know if the replacement is confirmed 100% or if they'll go case by case

Mine says affected... so not sure what the heck the person was smoking. I'll ask the service advisor on the spot when I go mid-Aug I guess

where do read that

that paddle shifter to allow you to manually control the transmission's gear changes.

I always use that to upshift, this G6 like to drop 1 gear down when we go downhill even on minimal slop
*
On RS e:HEV model it's actually the regenerative braking control paddle. On non-hybrid it's a simulated CVT "gear shift" control

haiyaaa.....u so free to give this long comment?  tongue.gif  tongue.gif  tongue.gif .
nonetheless, comprehensive info

if i may add a bit. the regen braking works a bit different between Normal and Sport mode. I believe during normal mode, the regen brake will be off once we press the accelerator after a while. however during Sport mode, u will have to off the regen brake using the pedal. do correct me if im wrong since before this only use regen brake in sport mode once
*
Yes your understanding is correct. In Sports mode it'll hold the setting; in normal mode it assumes you only use it temporarily. Honestly I use it in Normal mode and it works great:

- When going downhill I downshift 2–3 times. No need to tekan brake anymore just let the car cruise down while recharging my high voltage battery. Go down to flat ground and can cruise in EV mode.
- When coming to a stop at a junction or traffic light, downshift 3 times (max regen) to slow down, again no need tekan brake until the last second when I need to actually come to a complete stop. I feel it's slowdown is smoother than I manually tekan brake tongue.gif

interesting yet comprehensive info. thanks dude.

by the way, is this regen braking paddle shifter only works in Sports mode, or it can work in Econ or Normal modes as well?

i feel this paddle shifter is quite different from my another honda car: honda city hybrid i-dcd 2018. The paddle shifters work to upshift or downshift the actual DCT gears to provide dynamic driving experience.

also another question:

when in town driving, i use Econ mode and it's really fuel efficient as i always try to drive in EV mode.
but when in highway, i use Normal mode instead to get some power for overtaking. I will sometime shift to Econ mode if let say there is long traffic jem on the highway or exiting the highway going to town.

is this practice okay to get good overall FC? But i hardly achieve 20km/l on highways due to sometimes I tekan 140km/h without even realizing it. LEL

i am still learning to understand & differentiate between the i-dcd 2nd gen hybrid system vs this new 3rd gen i-mmd eHEV hybrid system in term of its mechanism.  icon_rolleyes.gif

Regen works in all mode, but it’s only “sticky” in sports mode, meaning it is only temporary in normal and econ mode, where it’ll go away after a while. Honestly when you press the brake pedal, regen kicks in first to a degree, until when the car knows you want to come to a stop and regen is not sufficient to slow you down, then only the mechanical brakes kick in for the final boost of stopping power.

All in all, drive any way you want, and don’t agonize over the paddle for regen. This car is big and heavy, honestly 15–20km/L is phenomenal, regardless of which end of the spectrum you fall under.

There were the initial periods of getting the car where I squeezed out 20km/L under ideal scenarios, but I ended up stressing when I didn’t hit it anymore. So now I drive the way I want, and average about 15–17km/L, not the end of the world, and enjoying the car and using its power to its full potential when I see fit.

Can close from in the car but you need to hold, never tried fob because I always press one of the two buttons at the top of the boot hatch. If the sensor detects something down there it may not close sometimes too.

They're two different segment vehicles where Cross is smaller. The CR-V space is humongous, do you really need all that space? Personally I went for CR-V e:HEV because of our first baby and we have a dog. The space is really big and is class-leading. If you don't need that much car, just get the Cross

This 1.5t engine not bad. And the Michelin primacy feel good, more stable than Toyo on high speed. Maybe it is still new and rubber still soft.

202 with ACC on rclxub.gif wow lol did the car drive itself sustained at that speed? Or did you accelerate manually?

Depends on your use case. If mostly city driving then e:HEV better; if you like to vroom on highway at sustained high speeds then the turbo is better.

Hi CRV owners and peeps here

Recently honda is doing August promo, really attractive rebate and im thinking of getting new one

Though now im stuck between choosing E or V. Honestly for V is for the camera 360. Any good people here can advise usability and quality of 360 inside V?
*
It’s a big car, so 360° camera will be very useful for you. Personally I would pick the V.
