Forte EX reverse sensor and auto-fold

Hello all EX (and SX owners).

I have been driving my EX (A) for a week and realized the following:
1) Reverse sensor by CNC. After driving into a carpark and positioned for parking, my reverse sensor keeps buzzing (continuously) once i engaged the reverse gear although i have confirmed that there is nothing behind the car. It will only return to normal beeping after i re-engage to Drive mode and then to Reverse again.

2) Auto-fold side mirror by CNC. Whenever i cut engine, the auto-folding side mirror will close by itself automatically. I find it very dangerous as once the side mirror is closed, i cannot keep track on vehicles coming from behind unless i turn my head to the back. I am thinking of asking CNC mech to set the auto-fold mirror to close only when i lock the door and to open up when i unlock the door.


Wonder if any EX and SX owners faces the same issues ?
I am going to report this to my SE this couple of days and hope they can rectifiy it on my 1k servicing.

I've the same problems (about 4 times in the last 6 months) with my EX locally fitted reverse sensor but i juz need to re-engage the reverse gear and it will be back to normal......

Hi muff, have you not highlighted this during servicing ?
Yours 4 times in last 6 months ?
Mine happened like 5-6 times for the past 1 week. That is almost everyday.

mine also same every day also have.. and just now when i start my car my EPS when off.. damn what is wrong with the car??

Hi Divine, you driving SX or EX ?

waht the ****..howcome like this?

Pessimizt, as for your auto-fold rite, there is a button for u to press and set in such a way that u can manually close or open it. Press and hold, once hear the beep sound, release and the setting will now set as manual overide.

Hi greatgazoo, yes my SE also told me that. But when i tried to press the same open/close button for 10sec.......there is still no beep sound.

Did you start the engine and press and hold or do you cut the engine and press and hold ? Apparently i realised that even after i cut the engine, the button for the mirror still works.

U try to start engine & hold, if still canot, means there is something wrong wif the button.

EX manual

yup, i also have the reverse sensor problem on a regular basis. thinking of bringing it up during the next servicing. my experience is that it needs to sense first to work properly. maybe it has problems with initialization. most of the times, i just continue my parking until it starts sensing the kerb/other cars, then it'll start working as normal.

Wah fonefun610, I find it very dangerous ah. Imagine 'sway sway' really got something, or worse someone (a kid), just ran behind the car while we engage the reverse gear.

10 secs? that very long.... have to go look for the button liao... lolx...

I havent re-try to disable the auto-fold mirror but i believe it should be less than 10sec.

The button suppose to work even when the engine is cut. Or else how do you wash your side mirror during ur own car wash ... unless you like start your engine everytime you washes your car.

by rite press n hold for 3 seconds should hear the beep beep liao...

ok, later i go try..

my one hold for 30 sec also no beep beep sound sian. i think i got the one cannot set to manual one

Kenneth, yours is by CNC ? EX or SX ?

Mine is from CNC and the model is EX. SE told me press and hold the button and should be able to hear the beep sound to disable and vice versa.

woah so fast problem starts to come out one by one

Mine is by C&C, SX(A) got my ride end of July. Mine is quite funny, turn off engine the mirror will not fold, my window will fold after when i take out my key.

Wow....how come so many different way of working.......
Wonder if they get from same supplier......

just have to watch out the rear mirror lor. anyway, i brought up at the last servicing but was told need to leave the car overnight and i desperately needed car back that day so never fix this problem.

atm, i can still live with it becos usually i dun depend on reverse sensor for parking, i use gut feeling one.

Guys for the Auto-folding mirror, the button has got 2 type, one type need to hold 10sec & the other type no need.

I only see one button on the right of the dashboard.

It's correct that u only got one type, just that there is two version.

I think because we got our car at the same time and also from the same SE 8)

think this is quite common.. like ice kacang.. mix here and there.. haaa what matters is if its locally fitted then usually got all sort to way... la.. could be even from 1 installer to another...

I have highlighted the 2 problems to SE and he told me to get it check when doing 1k servicing this Friday morning.

Button to disable auto-fold mirror not working (tried depressing 10-15secs when engine is on and off also nothing happens)
