The sound like roaring when accelerate it heavily. i think it's normal as their soundproof is not as good as the x50, but still acceptable. I have seen someone did changing the soundproofing by taking off all the compartment and replacing the layer of soundproof.

congrats for your new car! the white looks attractive!

Didn't know much about turbo as it's my first car to have turbo. It helps alot on 1.0 engine, doesn't feel the lack of power for normal ride, except climbing up the cliff that took me 3k rpm with 50-60km/h. still not dare to accelerate more as it's still new and maintain low speed for time being

Hi guys, after for several usage of new atitva, just curious anything we need to tune it further? I found that:

1. we can actually bypass the infotainment cable, so that video can be played during the ride, i think it's quite useful for long ride and the kids can able to watch from the screen. Although it can be DIY by own, but unsure whether it bypass connectivity is safe and the warranty will be void?

2. I notice given with free voucher from tinted shop along purchasing my new car, and still consider anything I need to add? another layer of tinted film, or perhaps the ceramic cooated film for the car body? thought to make good use on the voucher. Any advice?

If you're using android phone, install EasyConnection instead of Perodua Smart Link. Same developer. Using EC can play video while moving also.

Not bad, good to hear there's alternative approach instead of touching on its wiring. I will try and find out.

Glad to have your advice. thanks

turbo love high temperature to operate at high speed. urs still new so let it run longer baru lap.

personally i affraid cvt gear rather than enjin trouble

so far so good. keeping <90, so didn't hear any loud sound yet. just that the acceleration during ACC mode, feels so rushed.

example setting speed 85, but running 60 coz car in front slow. Once the car in front clears, it accel quite hard to catch up to 85 instead of slowly accelerate up

edit
I just realized there is a "kung" sound switching from D to N. is that normal?

Hi Creations,
Probably I will answer this to my best ability - though I don't own a Ativa.
I drive an Exora Turbo. And I have OBD2 reader.

1) Turbos are not "off and on" switches. If one has a turbo boost gauge, one will notice the boost pressure varies. Or it will not boost at all, and drives like a normal NA engine. Depending on throttle pedal pressure.

But what I understand that Power button in Ativa possibility is to increase boost pressure limit (but not beyond specs), sharpen the throttle and adjust more aggressive CVT gear ratios (this one confirm). Hence better pickup.
Off = Lower Pressure = Lower horsepower but smoother ride. Probably improve FC.
On = Higher pressure = more horsepower .

2) I presume Ativa may not have turbo water cooling too. One have to check if there is any water piping going to the turbo.
In Exora, there is a electric water pump and the radiator fan will be triggered if temp is above 88C. Its there to protect the turbo and partially cool down the hot engine also.
Again, this is depending on engine cooling design.

I think there is water cooling for the Turbo. From my observation in the engine bay, the there is an independent intercooler connected to the Turbo via rubber hose.

Yesterday i drove my Axia followed by Ativa, the headlamp is damn glare from behind, is like switch on the high beam all the time. Must be the AFS not properly tuned.

Yeah probably the Adaptive High Beam. I switched off mine because quite glaring to other pedestrians and drivers when it's not working that perfectly.

Adaptive high beam? The same damn thing in the BMW as well. Just glaring to others.

I'm not convince a 60-70k car is smart enough to differentiate incoming car and switch ON/OFF the LED beads adaptively. This should be banned for use, just stupid.

Next time i will let them taste my high beam if being offended.

Yeah, CR-V I test drive, that’s pretty cool feature in traffic jams .. it’s like car on auto pilot

i wonder vvti change at which rpm

i didn't hear a loud roaring noise. instead i hear a high pitch whistling sound. are we referring to the same sound? haha

Hi guys!
Here’s my wrapped Ativa in Golden Yellow.
Also an article by Autobuzz.my

haha yeah. the sound is something like that. should be normal

Congrats! I never seen a yellow model, and the wrapping is impressive!

Thanks man, did it at Wrap360. Do check them out
