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.

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.

Hi sifus,
I wonder what is the 'slit-like' small opening located next to the AT shift?

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)

As I know, for keyless entry version, you take out the key from the key fob, manual unlock the car door, then put the key fob in front of the push start button for at least 10 seconds, then after that, press brake pedal, and push the start button. If not mistaken, Vios have backup battery for emergency like this. Correct me if I am wrong..
