You know where you pull the seatbelt? That area actually has plastic-to-plastic sounds on uneven roads, annoying at times since right beside my ear. Another is the seat belt "holder" thingy at the floor, beside the seat - that thing wiggles about hitting everything. I'll take pics next time.

Nope, no whine sound from the rear for me. Isn't whine sound is due to bearing?

Hi All.

My IRIZ 1.6l Premium having possibly, piling up H.U. issues lately. Started with H.U. radio automatically switched ON after i reversed then the lighting at the gear paddle indicator blinking occasionally & now completely not light up. After updated GKUI to the most recent, now map (GPS), no internet connection even using with wireless home connection.

What I do wrong here? Is it wiring issues? issue with car "A.I."?


This is my 1st proton. I do not want to generalize issues with proton brand. I am looking for best solution from all Sifoos in here

I suspected it's bearing, but it's also there even when stationary. It's very likely my exhaust, so will get them to check it out on my next service.

Try factory resetting the headunit, it solved quite a lot of problems.

For the dead bulb at the gear shifter, it's also (sadly) a very common issue, but easily replaced under warranty at your service centre.

When did you get the 1.6 Premium? How many KM already?

I'm also having a similar problem with the head unit of my Iriz. it keeps restarting itself when I'm driving. should i try to factory reset it first or should i go to a SC and ask for their help ?

Try to factory reset it first, there isn't much special things to save there anyway.

tried it for now its working and not restarting, thanks again ya Sifu

8xx KM

1. No high pitched sound
2. Right rear passenger door rattling sound on uneven road.
3. No rattling sound at HU area
4. No random pause at HU
5. i never turn on auto headlight...
6. FC full tank can go around 350km with 100% city and kampung drive
7. I love the seat...fit me nicely.. better than my honda city 2014.

skill problem, heh

But since center N is on the way, there's no way avoiding it?

Initially i just push upwards so that the gear back to center itself and only push into 3rd, after some time i feel its better/smoother and less noisy if i guide the gear knob all the way N then to 3rd (z pattern). Experienced before miss the slot and need to re-enter, but that i think is human problem

This is very helpful! Thanks a lot. Now am waiting in proton service centre to ask about their opinion

Yeah probably . I prefer a round gear knob compared to this car's manual gear knob. I rarely have this problem with my Savvy since its a round gear knob. My hand position probably changed a bit with this gear knob shape.

The miss shift has reduced though after forcing myself holding it like a round gear knob but still the shape makes me want to hold it like an auto gear knob .

Finally today my HU give me rattling sound...
ended up dismantel the HU myself by follow the instruction at page 1 to solve the rattling issue.

after 4 years, radiator pipe leaked. mechanic said there's a lot of rust.
i called service center. well jokes on you.
protong warranty is 5 years except these specific parts (everything).

lol scammed.

get it fixed at a workshop near my house because don't want to drive that far and overheat again.
mechanic buys original parts.
lol double scammed. it's gonna rust again and burst.

My HONDA CITY GM6 2014 after 1st year at HONDA SC never send back again service except for cvt oil, fuel filter and belt.

Coolant, engine oil, brake oil all do outside.
Coolant using premix motul coolant, hoses using forged racing radiator hoses, coolant change every 2 years together with brake oil.
My radiator and my coolant system serve me well with no corrosion.
I always monitoring my coolant temp with a digital gauge too.

*Sometimes those SC technician never follow the procedure, the just top up your radiator tank or spare tank using air paip..
*Spray your air filter using air gun.

Was looking at carlist for the discontinued 1.6 Manual and also Satria neo 1.6 Manual (non r3 bodykit).

More like wanted to have a manual car to drive around and occasionally rempit here and there.

Not interested in modding, perhaps at most going for better/lighther 15 inch wheel and better tires.

Not sure any members here have drove both and able to give feedback of pros and cons of the following:

What My observation of both car:
-Iriz is newer model for sure.
-Iriz dimension is more compact than satria
-Iriz only front disc equiped while Satria is all round disk.
-Is Iriz supposedly lighter than satria? Knowing Iriz chassis is more rigid due to construction.
-Iriz have more safety standard than satria.
-Most satria on used market were modded in way or so. Not sure really mint unit can be found

Do i miss anything?

Also, I am curious about this:
If under hard driving does satria brake will be more efficient over long run vs iriz front disk rear drum setup? Brake fake.

My brake not fade at SiC. Stock pad is the best atm. Not bother to upgrade.

Nice to hear about that. Was never fan of modding mechanical parts

Currently my iriz touch screen will auto restart once a while.. Anyone had this issue?

It will turn off and show the proton logo and start back

Try reset ...

Anyone installed side step for their ride?

Oh is the reset menu in the settings of the system or need to go to svc center?
