I think multi is correct. Its the throttle position. I am just confused, why is it 30 on full throttle? Should be 100 mah. Haha

If you look in preFL manual for K3 which can be downloaded online and is pretty much the same as FL K3, the 10 20 30 gauge display is shown under the fuel economy section. SG market is type B screen display. If you compare to type A, you will notice that the 10 20 30 bar gauge display correspond to the instant fuel figure. When driving on highway, it will hover around 20 and nearly 30 when down slope. When accelerating from stop, it will drop to 10 or less. The next page of the manual states that the numbers are the fuel economy range from 0 to 30L/100km, although I thought that it should be km/L since the bar drop in response to throttle response. My previous car has it in actual figure rather than a gauge display.

no leh, the 10 20 30 is the time..

 

Anyway the spare rim you have as spare, so long dun take out to use is ok..

It's FC range in L/100km. Range from 0-30 in the bar but can be higher when u floor the throttle tho it dun show in this scale.

 

I always aim to keep my bar half bar at 0-10 so as to achieve avg below 8L/100km and it works especially driving on highway. Usually achieve 7-7.5L/100km per tank.

Yup, Bro Kwoni is right.

 

It is the instantaneous fuel consumption. 

 

I am getting 7.5-8L/100KM for normal humanly driving for 40%city/60%highway.

I will get 9-11L/100KM for manic driving.

 

My best every FC is 6L/100KM for the tank. That's when I was driving to work at 6AM. 30%city/70%highway.

Worst is 12L/100KM. Driving on at 8AM plus jam. 70%city/30%highway.

The instantaneous fuel consumption gauge units changes according to the units of measure you choose for your fuel consumption gauge. If you have your fuel consumption in L/100km, then the instantaneous fuel consumption gauge should be read a 0, 10, 20 or 30 L/100km, in which case, your objective is keep the reading as low as possible, preferably below 10L/100km. But if like me, on my Sonata, you choose to have the units as km/L, then you should strive have the reading as high as possible max being 30km/L. Hope this helps.

 

And, please read the car manual lar... everything posted here is found in the manual...

Manual very long.

Took me a week to read in the evenings.

A bit confusing as well so need some thought when reading.

 

But it should be read.

Hi all, those breaking in K3 feel it seems abit unwillingly to move off?  When you maintaining constant speeding and climb up slope (SG sheares bridge) the car feelings unable to climb up and drops in speed? I have some issue with the accelerator too. Not sure how to position the foot. Previous car has those hanging accelerator like brake pedal type, The heel is near the brake pedal and I tilt ball of the foot to accelerate and back to brake which I find its quicker and easier. K3 need to lift and place whole foot to rest on the accelerator pedal? The feel is so different. I waste time to move whole foot onto the Acc  pedal and depress and its so hard to control the pressure. Sorry about the funny last qn  :XD:  and I not a P plate driver. Been driving the previous jap car for almost 5 years

 

My k3 is about 100kg lighter than my previous jap car, so i guess there's less power. My old nihon car also has the accelerator hanging from the top rather than bottom. Just need getting used to.

 

Otherwise, I think the car is quite powerful already. More so than my previous actually.

Yup, I did it before. The top white latch has 2 latches to depressed before you can take it out.

 

1 on the top, the other at the bottom of the white latch. It takes some effort to get your fingers into place to depress both at the same time. Imagine a backpack buckle. Both must be depressed at the same time for it to come out.

Anyone got lobang to fix ultra racing Strut bar in SG?

Was quoted $150 for front Strut bar with installation at one workshop. Pre-FL SX

In Singapore it's around that price. Go JB is cheaper.
