| ![]() Hey guys, need a small update. Can anyone owning a SX(O) 1.6Diesel manual confirm if the gear shift indicator works only for upshifts or does it also suggest downshifts too? I have noticed only upshift indication and very very rarely the downshift indication that too comes n goes off in a flash in a hard braking situation. Service centre people are too badly educated to work on it. |

The downshifting suggestion appears when the RPM in any gear is near idling - I mean if it falls below 1000 and starts stalling. | |

| ![]() I deliberately tried to stall the engine driving up the slope at speeds less than 10kmph in gear 3 & 4. I could end up stalling the engine but the gearshift indicator on MID dint come up. |

And speaking of whether it's required or not, no harm in having it. Definitely some beginners might find it useful. I've seen many beginners just follow blind rules of shifting up at certain RPM irrespective of engine state. Or some might even think its cool. What purpose does a LED strip across the dash or along the door pad solve, nothing but aesthetics and as a so called 'feature'. In their defence, the companies could quote 'mood lighting' or soft lighting helps the ambience which in turn could help in calming down the drivers mind or someother theory they can come up with. There are many things in modern day cars which are not 'essentials' but trickle down as 'features'. Some find it cool, some helpful and a few who don't bother. Mass market vehicles cater a wide range of people and that's the game they play. Ofcourse there is much safety tech which is ignored by companies in India, but that's just pure market reflection I guess. How many care for all four disc brakes instead of a cool looking DRL? I guess very few and I wish I'm wrong. | |

If the actual use case is as mentioned above, then there should have been an option to enable/disable ‘driving aid - gear shift indicator’, and the gear shift indications should be made through voice commands. When I test drive previous gen Hyundai i20, I tried driving based on the gear shift indicator and found it was tuned to maximise fuel efficiency which is making the engine work at very lower rpms. | |

| ![]() I tried to register the auto link with my car today and I keep getting a "registration error" repeatedly on the hyundai auto link app. The module gets discovered and the chassis number is identified correctly but the final registration fails. Does anyone have a similar experience, if so any suggested workaround fixes for this ? |

| ![]() Hi clevermax! Yes, I just got the EGR soft delete done today. The FE has taken a hit when you're driving pedal to the medal, it easily drops down to 8/9 kmpl. But with a sedate driving style, it's reduced by 1 kmpl or so, and while cruising it's become better by 2 kmpl or so as well. The car has become pretty effortless to drive and you don't need a downshift to overtake someone until it absolutely needs to be done immediately. |

| ![]() My 1.6 CRDI MT SX(O) has returned 18.4 km/L in the first full tank. From auto-cut to auto-cut on normal diesel. My running has been 40% on highway-like conditions and 60% in the city. This is with AC on all the time. What bothers me is that the set trip meter gets discontinued everytime, if I start the car after a few hours of break. Is there a way to set the trip meter and retain its readings till the trip is over, over, say two days or so? |

| ![]() There is some fault in your car, it seems .Trip meter in my car never resets automatically. Its always manually done by me. The only MID data that auto resets is average FE figure, after filling up of fuel. As far as I remember from manual, it happens if refuelling is done for 6 lit or more. |

The other trip meter pops up when you press the top right button on the steering wheel downwards---it shows the speed in digital form, and one more press will get you to the trip meter you want. We usually reset that when tanking up. We found a variance of around 1 kmpl from the FE indicator and the real time FE. | ||
