Hi Sifus, Just bought a Vios variant J AT acouple of months ago. Now i notice that when engine is turned off, and i open the door, i can hear a brief "whurring" sound, coming from around the steering 'area' (couldn't tell exactly the source of the sound). Sounds like 'something' is 'locking/unlocking' (sorry, don't know how to describe). What could that sound be? Just curious.

QUOTE(kentbong92 @ Aug 22 2017, 11:25 PM) That is steering locking sound. You can try to turn the steering after the "whurring" sound, then you will hear "tak" sound, after that, your steering is locked.  Thanks, sifu. No more worries now.

May i know where is latest Vios 'secret' switch to turn-off the (annoying) alarm that might go off whenever there's power problem (i.e. weak/flat battery, etc)?
(My previous P1 has one which is partly hidden just next to the bonnet latch/lock - a small push button switch to turn off the alarm)

If not mistaken, Vios have backup battery for emergency like this. Correct me if I am wrong.. i c... thanks again for enlightening.

Also heard some kids say that Vios is "VIP car" (almost same status as its big bro Camry)
