No worries, shoot whatever questions that's bugging u... I will benefit too <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" />I drove the car for the first time last night.. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" /> yes I bought the car without test drive.. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" /> :stupid:First impression is the car very stiff and tight. U pedal, it really goes, u lift the pedal, it slow down like handbrake not released. Unlike Japanese car, u lift pedal, the car still gliding loose.The brake is superb compare to a Camry, with only 20km on the odo, have not even run in the brake lining yet.The steering is stiff (not heavy) but can feel a mild humming or vibration like holding to a spinning electric motor. I don't get this feeling in Japanese car. Is this normal? Like holding a mild vibrator.. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" />Just learn how to manually tilt the rear view mirror for anti glare feature last night, its actually by rotating the semi-spheric knob under the rear view mirror. The SA also didn't know when I asked him.The manual also says there's a USB port in the arm rest, haven't got a chance to find out. Only saw an aux-in socket, a ciggy lighter and a can drink chiller in there.Had problem activating my garage door remote control, can't wind down the window because of the freshly tinted window, so had to open the door to operate my main gate remotely. The manual says for those who have Climatic Friendly windshield option, the IR rejection coating will cause interference to remote control and SmartTag. But there's a provision for these as there's an upper section behind the rear view mirror where the IR coating is absence and its meant for operating such electronic remote control devices up there.Not sure about this, will test it out.Have not program the keys yet. Pampered with choices to set in.And about the the question put forward by peanut, it seems that Internal Circulation mode is one of the personalised key settings as mentioned in the manual. Have not tried it though. There nothing much to do. Just use your key to start the car, operate the Internal Circulation button. DONE! the next time the same key is inserted, it should bring up the same mode. That's what the manual says la..The manual also says that under Auto air circulation mode, there's a sensor to sense external air for foreign particles, once the foreign particle reaches "dirty" level, it will shut off the external vent and allow only internal circulation. It will continue to monitor the external air and once the air is "clean", the external vent to open again. Cool! but how do I know it the sensor still working or not? Talk ah? <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" /> :stupid: (Sorry folks, cultural shocks!)</blockquote>
