No idea why such low air pressure recommended by HONDA. I have a query regarding blower. Does using blower will also affect the power of CAR like with the use of AC. I know it's a silly question but i am new to car [;)]
AC will consume more fuel leading to less FE , i am using only blower and still getting same Fe even when Blower is off , so i don't think blower will affect power of the car , even if Ac in car is on car has enough power to pull but if car is fully loaded then there will be drop in power if ac is on .

Ok, that means if we are using only blower with out AC it does not affect the fuel economy. How much mileage you are getting on your BRIO [:)]

@manish: It is not advisable to delay/miss servicing as you may lose warranty. Anyways first service is for name shake; they just clean your car and return it.

not a wise decision to delay since they may void your warranty later on in case any issue arises.

Blower does not need fuel!
It is just like a fan running on battery power alone, so there will be no dip in mileage or power if you are using the blower alone.
Neither will it cool down the cabin temperature of your car!

Just checked with the sales executive, he asked me the KM done. On hearing 130 Km he told no problem sir you can delay. Now i am confused [confused]

@ manish09 , Honda legally can refuse free service if one month has passed so get written response from them that they will honor it , best is put a email to your dealer and wait for written response from them .

But i have heard for free service up to some 10 days or so they consider delay if vehicle has not crossed the stipulated KMs. I wanted to confirm the exact days [frustration].

Hi all, this is my first post.

I have a question for Brio users, Has anyone faced 'Connect-Retry' issue with USB ? For me the USB is really giving pain [frustration]. After 1-2 songs repetitively the error comes..

Can anyone help me on this.

I have already given my car to resolve it, Hope they could fixed it.

Thanks in advance for your reply.

Meanwhile I own Brio SMT Ralley Red(just a one week old).

Thanks!!!

Thanks nitin...even formating didnt help :( i used 8gb Transcend and 4 GB Sony pendrives. But, still the problem persist.

Let's see Honda people can resolve it or i have to live with the pain.

try buying a cheap MP3/MP4 player, do carry your laptop or ask the seller to move some heavy files in that mp3 to check if your not being cheated size wise.

8gb mp3 should easily accommodate around 6.8gb or so.

also i found sound quality better and more easy to change tracks with an MP3/4 player.
