mine remote battery still OK....no pop up warning yet....Batch Aug 2023....

Still under warranty? Battery have warranty for 6 months or 1 year or within certain mileage?

I contacted Perodua sales fella who handled my purchase, he said service center can change (but with charge).... better I do myself?

Anyway the warning didn't return, maybe battery loose. Can't be run out of battery so fast la, not yet 2 years even since July 2022....

not sure about remote battery warranty....Remote battery not cost much just buy at Mr DIY....

Just some thinking, maybe sometime we place key fob in pockets and it get accidentally pressed for like a very long time. So this drain the battery. But once we take it out and leave it for sometimes, the battery can recovered slightly... just guessing though

rotate use with spare remote. every quarter swap
can tahan over 3yr

Anyone here having metal burnt smell in cabin when going uphill? Especially when rpm is more than 3500rpm. Similar to the welding fumes smell.

Not worth it, iinm. Owning a Veloz now, that RM20k better save it, even if you need to wait longer delivery time. Alza finishing quality is better than Veloz iinm, only few extras stuff here and there in the Veloz which I believe can live without. I am experiencing the following problem:
1. Burnt metal smell (like welding fumes) in cabin when doing uphill climb (Jalan Duta or Bukit Lanjan NKVE), particularly engine rpm is kept over 3500 during the climb, when reached the top of the hill, the smell is horrible.
2. Veloz only extra door handle is so poorly designed/assembled, it has sharp edge all over the handle which actually cut/peeled the skin off my palm and bled.
3. Gearbox judders causing whole car to shake when accelerating slow (especially when you hold cvt at 2500rpm).
4. Panel gap/misalignment even the car is brand new, Toyota QC is sleeping on the job, never check if the product badged as Toyota lives up to Toyota QC standard. If possible, don't pay that extra for Perodua -rebadged Toyota. You are not getting your money's worth in terms of QC checking.

If Alza also has these problems, then why pay more to get the same problems?

I did not notice the smell in my Alza when climbing menora tunnel.. that's the only time I hold the engine at higher rpm for extended time. Maybe some parts not fitted properly I guess?

The fuel cap didn't open again, damn pissed.

Got the station worker to pull the lever while i pushed the cap open. Noticed there is no more spring action

mileage of your car? uphill for how long (eg Genting)?

I got up to genting only after like 10mths old.. no burning smell. I just cool the engine down while keeping engine idle for few minutes when reached the parking up there.

Oh my.. has it been fixed in SC? my one fixed by the SC, just walk in.. they assigned a mechanic to check and see if quick fix.. he fixed it and so far since months no problem.

enjin oil vapor. normal thing.
the seal (sponge) between aircond blower & outside vent longgar.

Sc fixed it during service 2 months ago and it worked fine. Now i know they didnt replace the spring, just tighten it or something. Going to give them an earful after CNY

11,000km and 10 months old. The burning smell still start while climbing or reached the end of hill climb. Going up from Jalan Duta toll NKVE, press and climb around 120 to 130km/h. After finishing that climb, the burnt/welding smell infiltrates into the cabin.

Coming back from east coast last year, rev ard 3500-4500rpm for almost an hour but relatively flat road no burning smell for my Alza

your AC setting to inner circulation or open to let outside air comes in?? just wonder.

Inner circulation. A colleague who is driving Ativa also commented same issue as him, burnt smell in cabin, especially when doing extended uphill climb at high rpm.
