Anyone knows what this button under the bonnet is for ?

It has a pressing spring action with a wire connected. Cant figure out what it is for.

Can you fit fog lamps without voiding warranty In Delta? I want one that can be used as DRLs

I'm planing to install suncontrol window films, which brand is best and economical ?

I would like to have dark (around 20% visibility) film at the rear and 70% at front and sides. The question is, is it legal ?

Thats the only thing a switch there can be. Try to lock your car with the bonnet open and it will beep thrice. Doubt if there is any other use for it

Does the issue of plastic coating on the wires melting still exist? I have booked the Alpha variant of Baleno and expecting the delivery by March. Please do tell me that is the melting issue a serious one? or is it a one of a kind flaw?

Guys, after initial scrutiny of service manual, even through it is K12M engine there is a lot of difference between swift k12M engine and baleno k12M. Pity is that baleno body is extremely weak, I will post details regarding its body structure with photographs from service manual where they have used High tensile strength and where not and experience with that HT steel.

Friends,

Anyone has an idea why the battery icon lit for so long ?

The scene is,
Car got stalled near a signal and i immediately pressed the start button while in 1st Gear without shifting to neutral. Car got started and since then the battery icon has lit and stayed on all the time while i shifted from 1 to 5 gears. It didn't go until i clicked the below pic which is roughly 3mins or so. And after that it stopped and didn't lit again. Not sure of whats the reason behind it. Any ideas ?
