[dcb]

Just log in to Mazda SG website and dunno a software call Mazda toolbox.

How you do your own updates?

Can impart some knowledge?

Any Vezel owners replaced the BBC already? My PI sent me a letter saying I need to pay for the new BBC. Is the cost of the replacement part supposed to be covered by the PI?

Tell PI to fly kite. They r supposed to cover the recall costs.

Legit one right? They won't void your warranty just because you update yourself right?

HRV vs Vezel - now both made in jap.

But vezel $10k cheaper and better (with Honda sensing).... just hope PI can give me better assurance... difficult decision

[DeanZh]

Anybody can explain what is the DRL (daylight running light) for?

I was told that it is factory-fitted for the facelift versions  of Vezel and it will be on when the engine is started.

Thanks in advance!

Only HRV has DRL.

Vezel no DRL.

Personally I don't like DRL, drain power and.. so conti-wannabe.

Would be great if can exchange for something else

Haha update at your own risk.

 

It's Mazda Singapore website leh, what do you think?

Am thinking of purchasing either a Vezel or a Jazz to replace my current car which is turning 10 years old. Main consideration is whether the Vezel's back seat can be folded down to accommodate bicycles. I see that there are many models out there. Any cycling enthusiast with the Vezel?

They never told me we can get the updates from the websites directly. Here's the link...

The parf for HRV is much higher, and also Kah giving 5 years warranty, 3 years servicing, road tax etc, eventually pricing is about the same.

Have a look at this thread a few pages up.

The entire issue has been talked over a few times.

And also in the PI thread. Just know what your attempt to save money will mean, the risk, and finally the benefits.

I see. Someone mentioned that the facelift versions of Vezel has DRL. Maybe I was mistaken.

Hi everyone,

 

I have some questions on the Brake Hold.

 

If for example, when leaving a carpark, and at the carpark gantry (old type), you have to get out of the car to slot in your cashcard.

You will press the Brake Hold button.

Then you unfasten your seat belt to get out of the car.

The Electronic Parking Brake automatically got activated. A “P” appear on the dashboard.

 

My questions:

1. Is there a need to to change the gear lever from “D” to “P” before getting out of the car?
2. What is the point of the the Brake Hold button since you can activate the Electronic Parking Brake (P) which take over from the Brake Hold when you unfasten your seat belt?
3. When I step on accelerator to drive off, the Brake Hold button does not get deactivated unless I press on the Brake Hold button again.  Is this normal?

1. For safety reasons, you should NEVER leave your gear in D when you are exiting your car. (Remember the taxi driver incident at the gantry?) Why play with your life?

 

2. The name says it all. Brake hold is just for holding your brakes when you're stopping for awhile. i.e. traffic lights. EPB is your handbrake and you should only use it as it is and not for other purposes. The reason why the car switches to P it's because BH doesn't activate when your seat belt is off. This is also for safety purposes.

 

3. Never encountered before. The BH should deactivate the moment you depress the accelerator.

Not driving vezel.  Just curious, doesnt the electric park brake automatically engage when you open door?

No, it doesn't; at least for my S model, not sure about other models. Even when I turned off the engine and locked the doors, the PB still does not activate itself.

Buck Boost charge/discharge converter... for the idling start/stop recall issue late last year.

My PI ask me to send my car in for replacement in June (FOC).

I did not see them replace it because they say will take whole day, so I went back to work. To be frank, they could have just park it there and do nothing.

I got use to disabling it after I start the car and is still disabling it now.

 

I don't think PI will risk doing nothing, because can track the recall status here : https://www.onemotoring.com.sg/content/onemotoring/en/lta_information_guidelines/maintain_vehicle/electronic_vehicle.html
