Hi guys, sorry for the noob question, just got my honda city today



1) Whats the smaller button for?? I know the big one is to lock/unlock. The smaller one is for alarm? I don't dare to press it in case its something else.

2) The 7 speed thing, how does it work??

3) Does the car come with an auto lock function? LIke if I exit the car without locking, will it lock by itself?


Thanks guys for any help

For number 2, i hear there is an auto 7 speed and a manual 7 speed. how does the auto one work? to be honest, im not a big fan of manual things

and is there really a substantial diff or wad lol

my radio is the blaunpunkt one

does anyone know why..does it come on on its own even when the engine is turned off??

the other day..i went do my stuff all..when i came back the radio was on :/ the engine was off..

haunted or wad

uh no i dun think i have modified before :/

it just comes on on its own ): sometimes..i think when i dont off the radio before i swithc the engine off

den when i come back to the car it will be playing.

I know tell me about it

It happened just now also. I'm really afraid it drains my battery till kosong then I wont be able to start my car or sth

Anyways..

I found a temporary solution

U know the button to press to push the thing downwards so that you can insert a cd

On the other side, there is a button to completely remove the unit.

I removed that :/ and when I leave the car I'll just leave it hanging there on its own



Dunno la why it happens..anyone knows ):

anyone haf any solutions to the radio issue? ):

YES. its a 03 idsi with the blaupunkt miami beach orange radio ): WHY IS IT LIKE THAT i hope you have a solution for me *begs*

100

LOL

just let them go lah

i mean..

their car will forever be a 40k one and yours will forever be an 80k one.

u could have gotten a myvi,, 2 myvis

Had some problem with my city this morning I was waiting outside my house on P and with handbrake on. Suddenly, the radio restarted and some lights on the dashboard came on (like when you start you car, the EPS light, the temp high temp low light) but it went off. Happened again a few times till I decided to turn the car completely off.

Then I couldnt turn the car on, I couldnt on the emergency indicators, I couldnt lock or unlock the car with my remote, I could open manually and just exit the car without any alarm going on.

I left the car for awhile, maybe 5 mins or so then when I came back I could lock and unlock the car with my remote, I could start everything again like normal. I even went for a short drive to try.

At that point in time, I deduced it was the radio (cos the radio was givin probs, coming on when the engine was off etc) so I removed the face plate.

But just now when I left the car to idle in P with brake on, it happened again. Now I cant start the car or do anything at all.

):

Anyone knows?

I moved the negative battery terminal a bit (is it meant to be movable?) and then i could start the car and everything again ): I checked my dad's car and the negative terminal is like screwed on so tight i cant even move it. So is it just a loose battery connection?

im afraid if i disconnect my battery tht the alarm comes on and i dont know how to override it (does anyone know??) the stock alarm i think. cobra one

im hoping and guessing its just a loose connection (i could push and pull the negative terminal connector) if opposed to the other cars at home which had it really stiff.

i doubt its the radio cos i put it back on just now and it was working well..like normal..didnt cause any "restarts"

but i noticed that when im idling..i hear a sound that comes on and off (like a fan). everytime that sound comes on then my lights will dim a little and brighten back up. but it doesnt affect the other electronics like the radio or the speedometer or anythin else

aircond fan kicks in but once in awhile, its not like continuousy

so yeah okay nvm abt that

went to check with mechanic today. he helped me tighten the battery terminal part and so far so good, had the car on for abt 1 hour to see if it "restarts" but it didnt. so im guessing all is fine now. I HOPE

my battery is the new kind ( i think) there arent any openings, just a + and - terminal

I guess it was just lose

had the mechanic tighten it (didnt have the tools and was partially scared >.<)

so now its okay hopefully

i guess if battery was weak then i would be able to sort of start the car (crank it a bit) but when the battery went dead yesterday i couldnt start at all..so i guess it was just a loose connection

no but i could move the negative terminal simply by pushing it..

i guess the vibration in the engine compartment messed with that a bit yesterday resulting in the "restarting" of my radio and the other electronics

so now its super tight

like the other cars i have at home cos i checked

nope so far so good. no restarting of the "electronics" whatsoever.

and i think this has happened to me once before, when i was having my driving lessons

the instructor had to go fix the car a bit, so after that i was driving, then suddenly on an empty stretch of road, everything just went off. LOL? the lights, the engine, even the emergency signal.

he had to push the car to the side and play with the terminals a bit, then the car was fine.

so yes, loose connection i guess

just that in the city, the engine didnt go off but kept on running. I guess thats some other component that keeps it running that was malfunctioning in the kancil.

Haha tell me about it. He was sleeping while I was driving too in the jam.

i dont know if he was really that tired or yeah he trusted me but it was a jam lah so.lol..nt much could have been done >.<

i find the idsi to be super fuel efficient

i filled up full tank the other day, about RM 63 i think

My usual journey is about 50km a day

So far I've had 5 days of class, which is abt 250km +-

And my tank only finished by half

When I was drivin my satria, 50 bucks would have left me with 1/4 tank by now..

hehehehhee

So I get a 1km/0.12cents only

woohoo..transformers

my right side mirror control deosnt work T_T boohoo..

only the left

._.

and neato4u..very cute hahahaha

ohmaigods? isnt that dangerous??

so in the event your car suddenly has its electronics disabled..

YOU CANNOT BRAKE?

x_X

the SC i went gaev some discounts but i think its just a kind of placebo effect kinda thing

and a free towel? lolz

dun wan la sounds scary the test after my car die.



okay..scary ler
