it records video (5 minutes long interval) every time you start your engine. And when your memory card is almost full, it will delete old recording automatically. If you have something to save, just press the red button and the 5 minutes video that was recording at time you pressed it will be saved. It will also save automatically when you got into an accident.

here is the sample from last year while driving at night.

I see. But the time interval for the recording can be adjust right? the longest interval time is 10 minutes?

Hi guys,

I'm driving a year old Vios, just did 20k service about a month ago.

When I last check my radiator coolant level beginning of March, it was above the full line, I check again today n it went slightly below the full line.

Is this normal?  hmm.gif I've never added anything in for the whole year.

Planning to go SC ask ask too...
*
If you check the coolant level during your engine cold, it might slightly lower than full line indicator. While if you check during your engine hot, the coolant level might just on the full line indicator..
Mine one have the phenomenon like this. I believe due to physics nature, liquid hot = expansion, while cold = reduction.

Add one more at the back.
RM180 for a Xiaomi one I got from 11street with 32GB microSD.
Hook up to USB only and lay out the cables nicely out of plain sight with some cable holders. I DIY-ed.
I did almost everything except for the rear spoiler colour and side-mirrors + my own choice of rims.  laugh.gif
Nope. I've done my 2nd service. No issues. Maybe will affect claims on faulty antenna only. Keep the original one inside the car.
2 sensors is very inadequate that's for sure. City has 4. lol
Got my 3-colour 50W/bulb LEDs (H4).
It is night and day compared to my Philips Whitevision 3800K.

Cut-off is similar to the original due to the shielding (only applicable for H4 type).
6000K+3000K 3-chip diodes combined together to create a 4500K light temperature for heavy rain usage.
Comparison side by side with the new Myvi shows a 80% similarity in light output albeit Myvi's being a little purplish (suspect its 6500K). 
It's exactly the same colour with CRV's LED headlight colour.

One drawback is a less wider high-beam.

VIOS E spec doesn't come with fuel consumption estimation range on their dashboard instruments panel, any PROs can recommend on how do we really measure fuel consumption since most users do not risk to empty the tank in order to get those estimation.

I've done this since the day I've driven autos. Less chances of mishaps too.
But I'd only do this when it's a long wait. It's quite far-fetched to me when they say engaging gears often will wear the gears faster. Besides, I'd get a more constant idling RPM which will affect my FC as well.
Pump RM50 once you're getting the low fuel indicator and reset your trip, Be sure to record the price/L and drive until you've reached the indicator again. Record the trip and calculate;

RM/L: RM2.32/L
L: 21.46L @RM50
Range: 290KM

Calculation:

1.) 290KM/21.46L= 13.5KM/L
2.) 100KM/13.5L = 7.40L/100KM

Also, you can use fuelly.com and record every refuel you make for an insightful analysis.
*
you may try out fuelio mobile apps to record down your fuel expenses and the consumption data. It will generate the statistic for you, based on your preferred choice on how you want to view the data.
I personally prefer KM/L as my statistic presentation, as it shows how far your car can push for that 1 litre of fuel. Then you can know your avg fuel consumption from there.

Mine right now average is 14KM/L, the best one I get is 19KM/L (2017 VIOS E)
40% highway, 40% city, 20% kampung drive.

Thanks for your input.  rclxms.gif
Btw, do not constantly drive at same rpm? what that mean?
I see they mostly debate cannot exceed 3000rpm
*
Means, when driving, do not let the RPM stay at constant rate, rev your car a little at sometimes, then let the car run at constant rpm sometime, mix the driving habit before your 1 first service. This is what they called "Engine break in"..

For me, I think exceed 3k rpm shud not be a big problem for a new car, you can exceed 3k rpm, but just dont let it stay above 3k rpm for long time.
Mine one last time, havent 1st service yet, but so eager to try out the semi-auto gear, and I accidentally pushed the gear back to Neutral, the car revved till red line lol...

U got use Osram NBU before? I used 2 years plus now seems going to yellow colour (previous not that yellow) .... is it normal?
*
Completely normal if you have your car exposed under the sun for most of the time. As heat will deteriorate the blue coated film on the bulb itself, as time goes by, the blue color film will washed out, and the light will slowly change back to normal(3300k) temperature from 3700k temperature (NBU original light temperature)

By which insurance company?
*
As far I know, Toyota partner with MSIG insurance company. So the initial premium is also bought under MSIG company.

Mine one also going to 1 year soon. Going to renew road tax and insurance.

Just asking, currently my old car have the NCD of 45%, and the insurance policy is under my name, can I transfer the NCD to my next insurance renewal?
Because old policy company is Kurnia, while the new insurance company havent decided yet, not sure to continue with MSIG or opt out to Allianz, or Etiqa maybe??

Thank you.

Yes. you can request them to do touch up for you.. but usually they will ask u to repaint one.. Talk to your service adviser, and tell him your request.

Those who bought g for 2017 also got everything and the model was charged rm84k (+ insurance - rebate)

So why the price difference? G pay extra for leather seat, projector headlights, some chrome here and there and "g" emblem.

Does that worth extra rm11k?
*
G also come with acoustic windscreen, claimed to reduce wind noise. 6 or 8 speakers.
I don't think that those accessories on G compared to other models will worth extra RM 11K. It is just way too much..

Seriously, 73K for current E spec (+ramadan rebate, +accessories), compared to mine one E spec, bought month before raya last year, get ramadan rebate as well, but price still top at RM80k after rebate.
I wonder what will be the 2nd hand value, for those cars purchased with GST charged.. Haih.

Anyone experience vios 2017 with self unlocking problem?

Last Sunday I make sure my car is locked before I went up to my unit..

Normally we will hear the unlock sound of the door.. But just now when I press the unlock button on my key fob, only the signal lights indicator lit up, no door unlock sound.. When i pressed lock button again.. Then i heard door locking sound.. It seems the car unlocking it self?

Anyone, any thought? Thanks..
