[Panalogic]

which PI? MOVA or LECO??

[Boxster]

Can't remember leh but I will see tmr papers got advertise or not.

They dare to claim English manuals. Maybe translated ones

 

By the way the gear shift what is "B" for and the "shift lock" for huh coz I new to auto

"S" is for sports rite coz when I put to "S" can hear engine very noisy

Shift Lock button when Pressed and hold

it down, you can move your gear lever

to any position when ignition is off.

 

This function is particularly useful

when engine cannot start and vehichle

needs to be moved away, so whith shift lock

pressed, you can moved the lever to 'N'

and pushed the car away.

 

'S' is a O/D off function.

Normally most encourage to drive with O/D on

so that the transmission will go to the highest

gear during curising.

 

As such, try not to use 'S' all the time

as your engine will be pushing hard since

the transmission will be stressed more.

[Panalogic]

pardon my ignorance but wat's O/D?

[Boxster]

I think O/D means overdrive the final lowest gear ratio?

 

So Godfinger what is "B" for?

Is shifting between "D" and "S" on the move bad for the car?

 

Do you all know where is the chassis no. plate located?

Seems that I can't find it when I opened the bonnet

 

This car I also cannot find the power steering fluid "tank"

Is shifting between "D" and "S" on the move bad for the car?

 

A : When one need to speed up faster "S" is Sport as this is CVT auto not conventional.

So by using "S" means almost one is driving at low gear.

 

 

Do you all know where is the chassis no. plate located?

Seems that I can't find it when I opened the bonnet

 

This car I also cannot find the power steering fluid "tank"

 

A : If there no change from G9, the steering for 1.5 is electric motor driven that's Y no PS fluid.

[Ben0704]

chassis number plate is located at the front passenger seat door area. open the door and scan the frame.

Thanks for you answer

Seems that my car seller can't even answer correctly and told me "this is hidden and will be check only during servicing" when I was taking delivery of the car.

[Panalogic]

A PI SE is really a pack of lies. They don't know anything but lie about everything.

 

Anyway, there's a compartment for some red fluid. Isn't it for the power steering?

[Godfinger]

O/D is overdrive.

But because Axio is using a CVT transmission,

there is no Overdrive function.

 

Just that when shifting to 'S', the

CVT will remains at the constant Gear ratio

regardess of the amount of Accelerator input.

 

Just such, you will find that the engine

is particularlly noisy and rough when in 'S'

mode but you have hugh amount of torque and power

for overtaking and sprinting.

 

Hope this helps.

[Godfinger]

Shifting between D and S is not particularlly harmful.

Just that you will make the engine work harder when

in 'S' mode and FC will suffer if left in 'S' mode

all the time.

 

Engine number and Chassis number can be found on the

Engraved tag when you open the Left Front passenger

door. Look for it on the door frame.

 

Axio is using Electric Power Steering.

Speeed Sensitive Function just like all other

EPS system equipped Cars.

[Panalogic]

wat's the speed sensitive function?

 

So if EPS is used, i don't have to top up power steering fluid?

 

BTW, is EPS a better system compared to the typical ones?

[Boxster]

I think the red fluid you see is the coolant expansion tank.

From what I understand from Godfinger and Tanjkp Electric Power Steering (EPS) uses electric motor instead of hydraulic used in the older cars. Therefore it does use powersteering fluid. I read from papers that EPS helps in fuel consumption unlike the hydraulic types where the engine has to drive power steering pummp.

 

Can check with you 2 things?

 

1) Your car the rear boot got lights a not huh mine no light leh dunno Y

2) My front engine bay driver side got 1 connector without any connections you notice any? Tomorrow I take picture and put up

[Panalogic]

no rear boot lights for me too... Heard that we could install it though.

 

Connector w/o connections... let's see the pic first :)

[Godfinger]

EPS is entirely Electrical Powered Steering System.

Using Sensors and Actuators so there is always

a Speed Sensitive system in corperated such that

Steering is light during low speed manenvour (eg:parking)

and Steering gets heavier in high speed driving.

Since EPS is Electrically powered, there is no

Pump and belt to rob the engine power which may

in return get better FC in the long run.

[Ario]

no boot light for me also. If possible can install together..

[Boxster]

Hi everyone how is your mileage like huh?

Gone for servicing already?

Where did are you all instructed to go for servicing huh?
