alamak.. RDS takde...

Probably my phone not high spec enough?

oic. This function is very useful when waiting for traffic lights to turn.

Haha yeah, LaneWatch is useful for left lane changes because you can use it instead of turning your head to the left

Actually BSM is very useful as I have it on Vios. There are a number of time that I somehow did not see a car coming from side when I switch lane at high speed and it beeped...save quite a few times.

Lanewatch only on left only, the BSM alert that I mentioned above happened a numbers of time on driver side. If you don't put signal, there are no audible alert but the light do light up. So I still think BSM is more useful than lanewatch although lanewatch has it's advantage. The only irritating thing about lanewatch is if you are using Waze and encountered multiple split lanes and turn on the signal with lanewatch coming out....darn cialat, which of the 2-3 split lanes I am supposed to turn and Malaysia have many such close small split lanes.

Lanewatch vs BSM, i vote for BSM la. But BSM vs manual head turn, i vote for pusing kepala.

That small indicator at the side mirror could mean anything. I still prefer my eye to decide. Maybe im oldskool

BSM, it is the sensor "seeing" the object.
Lanewatch. Your eyes see the object.

Old habit die hard, I want to see it for myself.

Just hope the Lanewatch resolution could be better.

Mine is scheduled for replacement. Still waiting for parts but somehow, these few days, steering seem to work totally fine.

What the symptom and your car millage bro

10K. When turning the steering, some "sticky" feeling. Or slight momentarily reistance to turn. Normal should be silky smooth

Thanks, should take note on this

Morning guys. hope all are doing well. i have 2 question here. for RS variant.

1. does our RS variant have alternator? all the power comes from alternator or direct from battery. does the hybrid battery recharge the normal battery instead of alternator.

2. ac compressor. is our RS variant using the same compressor as others? im not sure whether is it still belt driven or powered by the battery? i believe the cost will be higher than the belt driven compressor

please share your thought/info. thanks

On #1, yes the high voltage (HV) battery will recharge the 12V battery periodically. The HV battery itself is recharged from regen braking and by the generator when the engine runs the generator.

Not sure about #2, but IMO not a concern for me personally.

Thanks for sharing bro. Just gathering some info for knowledge. Thats all.

When they inspect, I highly suspect they do some minor tweaking or SW tuning to reduce the stickiness.
Happens on my FE 2022 also.

1. There is no alternator anymore. The power will come from HV battery converted via the Inverter. The inverter will also recharge the 12V battery. Do note that the 12V battery still does what it does similar to petrol variant, that is to start the car AND powered all the accessories, lighting, etc. The HV battery generally only power directly thru the inverter to the engine.

2. All honda hybrids were already using fully electric compressor, at least from iDCD (previous gen Honda hybrid tech) onwards.

If im not mistaken for ICE car, the battery is use to start the car and power other accessories while the engine is not running. Once the car started, alternator will take over to power the accessories. pls correct me if im wrong.

Oops...you are right, battery in ICE car are essentially are used to start car and provide backup power to accs in ICE car. Alternator is the one providing the power for accessories with battery acting as backup or stabilizing power when necessary.

From my understanding, for EV and HEV for now, 12V batteries are way more critical for Hybrid and most EV as it is the main one providing power to car electronics without the alternator. While the inverter are supposedly capable to do that as well, it reduced the system complexity and financial cost to just use the 12V battery for the electronics and accs.

Question on the 1.5T engine. The Oil change interval is supposed to be 10K-km. And I read some people saying the dashboard indicator says differently. What are you experience on this?

Turbo engine are based on the dashboard reading, not the standard 10K mileage. That is because ultra hot turbo uses the engine oil as both lubrication and coolant expending its oil properties and quality much faster than NA engine.

I would say unlike NA engine where some ppl will drag the schedule, try not to drag the schedule of engine oil change of turbo engine. Once the properties wear out, the risk of damage to both turbo and engine are heighten drastically. So depending on how you tekan and activate the turbo, the oil change schedule changed thus every 1.5T engine has their own oil change schedule based on each car driving style.

If RS, then follow the 10K NA engine oil change schedule.

I don't drive my RS a lot, so I assume this is 10k or 6 months, right? To keep my warranty I need to service at least every 6 months
